But her abilities and courage always point out as a capable ruler who could replace Rama and rule the Kingdom.

Kaikeyi did not want Rama being the stepson to be the king of Ayodhya. Even Sita had stepped out with Rama to the exile for spending fourteen years.

Her beginning journey was with Rama but slowly she was found to fight her journey alone. To prove her innocence and courage towards society, it made her popular among her people. She had earned a distinctive identity as a brave woman with unbeatable power.

Determined and intelligent

After her return back to the forest, she gave birth to twins, Luv and Kush. Both were grown under the guidance of Valmiki. Well trained in arms, weapons, and other skills, she tried to put in the best effort for her kids.

Sita’s determination and intelligence have enabled her twins to give an education similar to the King’s child.

Devoted and farsighted as capable ruler

Her devotion towards her husband led her to leave the Kingdom,  separate from Ramaa. Despite undergoing through the Agni Pariksha she was thrown out into the jungle while she was pregnant. Almost after a decade of staying together they had twins, had she not been to exile then both Luv and Kush would have been ruling the Kingdom.
