Character design: Manimekhala and Ramasura , lightning and thunder.
Manimekhala and Ramasura are originated from Hindu-Buddhist mythology. They appear in various Southeast Asian literature although often take a minor role.
In Thailand, most well-known version of their story is : Manimekhala (or Mekhala for short) was an angel who watch over the ocean and save people from shipwreck. She often carried her favorite treasure, a shiny crystal orb, wherever she went.
One day while Mekhala was playing with the orb, she came across a giant name Ramasura. Ramasura was quite a bully, he wanted the treasure and decided to take it by force. Mekhala didn’t respond in fear, she even taunted the giant. So a chase game had started.
Ramasura was strong ,but whenever he tried to reach Mekhala or threw his axe at her, Mekhala would make the orb flash, blinded the giant with bright light so he always missed the target.
They said bright light from Mekhala’s orb is a lightning, and sound of Ramasura throwing his axe is a thunder.
