Ideas
- Unlike the other two stories, I want to show Jara receiving her exile news from her father
- Show some grudge towards her father, much like her cousin Kaloo
- Jara is sixteen and the sister to Rama
- Jara is dark skinned
- Jara can manipulate light and expel it form her eyes
- Her eyes are usually glowing but varying in intensity depending on mood
- Exiled to the northern glaciers
- This is the farthest from home out of the exile locations
- Light only shines for a few hours per day
- She is considered the least dangerous
- The god/goddess she meets becomes a parent figure in place of her father
Notes
"Pandava brothers = The Princes of Elephant City"
-Rama and Jara are similar to the Pandava brothers
"Arjuna is exiled and his adventures begin including burning the forrest with Agni"
-Jara could meet a god/goddess like Arjuna did while on exile
Styles
-Similar format to the Rama and Kaloo chapter's, besides the start
-Narrative between Jara and her father
-Narrative between Jara and her god/goddess she meets
-Show a transition of Jara
Character Sketch
-Jara: 16, dark skin, glowing eyes, strong
-Father: powerful, remorseful, betrayal
-God/Goddess: powerful, mentor, father/mother figure
This story is loosely based off the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata. I used some characters from this story and ideas of dark and light to fuel the overlying theme. The idea of the cousins came from Mahabharata. In this story one of the cousins is exiled and has an encounter with the god Agni where he burns down the forrest for him. The Pandava brothers have all sorts of adventures in the forrest including Arjuna getting his golden armor form Shiva, and Yudhishthira answering all of the serpents riddles
