Reading Notes:
I think I want to incorporate the image of the bow somewhere into my story. Almost all of the main heros seem to have a celestial bow and I personally like to do archery so I like the feel of bows as well. They are very powerful but also sleek and seemingly harmless. I also like that the five brothers are such a force to be reckoned with. I kind of want to incorporate that group family sense as well. Which I kind of do with the Strikes and Penny-Nichole.
I think it is sweet that the rakshasa and Bhima can be happily in love!
Dhrishtadyumna and Draupadi are two more that could fit into my theme of celestial beings for my stories. I haven't read too much about them but it seems like they are both warriors. I like the idea of brother and sister warriors, as one can tell by my bounty hunter siblings. So if the daughter is actaully a warrior also, then I could easily use these two.
Nalayani is an interesting character because of the amount of sexualization that surrounds her character. And how she is reborn to be the wife of five men. I'm not sure I'd use her as a character, but she is interesting to me.
Iravat, the son of Arjuna and naga princess Ulupi, is another character that could be used as a celestial being. I don't know anything about him yet, except for his lineage. And Arjuna gets a new cool power from having a child with the princess of the nagas. It is a neat little quest that he goes on to turn all the water nymphs back to their original forms. It reminds me a little bit of a video game.
Maya is also an interesting character but that is probably because she/he is a god, or a worker of the gods.
