After reading the comments and thinking over it myself, my storybook plan was not much of a cohesive plan. I misunderstood that each story was meant to stand on its own, so that changed how I wanted the sotrybook to go. Below is my new plan for what I want to do for my storybook.
I still want to stick to the dream aspect of Kumbhakarna. I want each story of his to be a different dream. These dreams will not be connecting to one another and one can be read without knowledge of the others. For one of the stories, I want it to be about him and Ravana when they were growing up. This way I can make my own story up, but also help tie it in to why Ravana started to become a villain and if Kumbhakarna is bad because he is bad, or because of pressure from his brother.
For the next story, I want it to be about Kumbhakarna killing Rama and becoming worshiped by everyone around him. Even though I want to display Kumbhakarna in a positive light, I think this story plays along the fact that everyone wants to be praised for doing something great. This story will be told from the point of view of Kumbhakarna so the readers can hear his internal dialogue abou whether what he did was truly deserving of all the praise he is receiving.
For the possibly last story, I want to make a love story between Kumbhakarna and someone who I have thought of yet. I may make someone up, but I may pull another misunderstood character from the Ramayana and make that how they fall in love.
Now that I have given each story more thought, I am happy with each one and think my audience will be able to view Kumbhakarna as a more relatbale character, rather than murdering giant. I also made my homepage image that of Kumbhakarna sleeping because that helps give the readers a better idea of the storybook.
