Profile[]
Identity[]
The wife of Rama. Sita is an avatar of Vishnu's wife LakshmiWP, and also said to be an avatar of one of Vishnu's split halves. Due to Rama getting cursed by a monkey, they're fated to be eternally separated. Rama took 14 years to defeat the Demon King Ravana and see her again, but due to his curse, their happiness didn't last for long. Sita's chastity is eventually questioned by the masses, and she's sent to the heavens as Lakshmi to clear those suspicions.[1]
Appearance[]
Personality[]
The girl who wholeheartedly, refinedly, and perseveringly continues to love Rama.
She serves her Master with unwavering affection, like a vassal to a king, but never romantically.
She's extremely patient, probably due to the many years she lived as a hostage.[1]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Fifth Singularity: E Pluribus Unum[]
Sita is summoned into the Singularity along with her husband, Rama. Normally they couldn’t be summoned simultaneously, as a result of the curse on Rama that keeps them forever separate, but the Singularity is an exception.[2] She is imprisoned in Alcatraz by the Celts, with Beowulf guarding the prison.
Ritsuka’s party eventually breaks into her cell so she can remove the curse of Cú Chulainn Alter‘s Gáe Bolg from Rama. After Rama faints, Mash tells her what happened to him. Sita then explains due to the curse on Rama, neither of them can be summoned simultaneously in a Holy Grail War, and they’re both considered "Rama". The Singularity is no exception, so Sita suspect she’ll disappear once Rama wakes up. She is happy though that she was able to hold Rama’s hand. Nightingale heals Rama’s wound, but Gáe Bolg’s curse is still interfering. Sita decides to sacrifice herself by taking the curse onto herself, which should be simple since she is also "Rama". Mash begs her not to, as it would defeat the purpose of Rama’s search for her. Sita tells her though his feelings have fulfilled her, and she knows the group need Rama. Nightingale then transfers Gáe Bolg’s curse to her. Sita is happy to be able to help Rama fight again, and she disappears expressing her love to him.[2]

Comment from Illustrator[]
"This young woman wears almost no clothes! Please report it! Still, the concept of Sita was a maiden with pigtails, but in the beginning, I misunderstood it as “Rama becomes this young woman by transforming” as the concept (what are you saying)! Because of the misunderstanding, I thought… “Changing into those clothes and underwear whenever he transforms… Totally a pervert…” I was relieved that he is a different person altogether. I think that personally, because of this super satisfying design, for another ten years I cannot draw any more of these characters! … It is called something like, being likely that I cannot continue my work for the next ten years (shudder)." (Rin Kususaga)[3]
