(Hanuman: Wikipedia)
I liked how Hanuman's physical features were continuously being highlighted through out the story. The small short of Hanuman's participate in the leaping contest might make for a good intro that can give testament to his physical strength and power.
Hanuman's Errand to Lanka
I would like to emphasize Hanuman's wisdom and loyalty from this story. Although he was upset with Sugriva for living so lavishly, he still followed Sugriva's orders to lead the monkeys to find Sita because he knew that was the right thing to do.
This won't be included in my story, but I thought it was humorous that the vulture was planning on eating the monkeys but ended up helping them after he heard about his brother. His agenda totally changed and two completely different sides of the vulture were shown very quickly.
Hanuman Reaches Lanka
Finally, we get to see Hanuman in action with opponents, which was actually quite impressive to read because he essentially outsmarted all his enemies. I would like to focus on a fighting, or rather "out-smarting" scene. to focus on his wit and intelligence.
Also, another side note, most prose describe Hanuman to be this majestic looking creature, but in the illustration included in the text, he looks like any regular monkey, which was interesting to me.
