Sita
Daughter of King Janaka
Rama and Sita fall in love forever and ever as soon as they look at each other
On her way back to the palace after she sees Rama for the first time, she prayed to the goddess Bhavani in hopes that they would end up together.
A flower drops from the image of Bhavani and Sita feels a throb in her left side which she takes to mean as Bhavani hearing her prayer.
At night, Rama lifts his eyes to the sky and says, "The queen of night is not so fair as Sita."
The king presents the bow of Shiva to all who hope to marry Sita
Of course Rama is able to bend it and it snaps
Rama and Sita are married, AND all of Ramas brothers marry family of Sita
Sita's sister, Urmila, marries Lakshman (Rama's brother)
Mandavi marries Bharat
Shrutakirti marries Shatrughna
Dasharatha
Spends most of the story trying to have sons so that there will be someone as heir
Now he has four sons because of his sacrifice and he needs to choose one of them
He asks others about their opinion of him making Rama the heir and everyone seems to agree that he is the best choice, it even says they rejoiced at the king's words
Except Manthara is not happy, as she is the mother of Bharata
She convinces Kaikeyi to convince Dasharatha to exile Rama
Rama goes without question because he is obedient to his father
Lakshamana, Sita, and Rama depart
Lakshamana and Rama wear their hair in matted locks and vow to protect Sita and each other
Dasharatha remembers that he was told he would lose a son as karma
Dasharatha becomes more and more upset as the days past and he is inconsolable thinking about Rama being exiled and potentially dying
He says his eyes have grown blind from weeping
Dasharatha dies while with two of his wives
