Dora Milaje (The Adored Ones)

These young women are the King’s body guards/concomitants. The order was established to promote harmony between Wakanda’s 18 rival tribe factions. They also perform the role as the King’s deadliest bodyguards & are some of the most deadliest warriors Wakanda has to offer.

I have a thing for strong women, they remind me of the Dahomey Amazon’s.

Shuri

The Princess of Wakanda, Shuri is both the sister of Black Panther, and a potential ruler of the country of Wakanda. Shuri is T’Chaka youngest child, only daughter and the only biological child Queen Ramonda (T’Chaka 2nd wife) and he had together. From very young age Shuri has wanted to become the Black Panther. Against her mothers wishes she broke into the arena to challenge her uncle, S’yan for the title of Black Panther but was unable to get into the ring. By the time she was able to make her way to the ring, a masked fighter had already defeated the Black Panther and earned his title. When he unmasked the victor, it was none other than her older brother T’Challa. Her mother is disappointed that T’Challa is now a political target.

When Ulysses Klaw and his men attacked Wakanda, Shuri defeated Radioactive Man but she did so by using the Ebony Blade. Shuri took her 1st kill hard untill T’Challa promised he would personally train her hand to hand combat and for the role of the Black Panther just in case she was one day needed to lead Wakanda. Shuri is headstrong, but became considerably gifted fighter thanks to her will and want to be a Black Panther, learning from T’Challa and her other teachers.

In Dark Reign, Shuri is nominated to take up the Panther mantle by Queen Ororo.  She successfully went through all of the trials, and achieved a special leaf that granted her access to the Panther God.  However, instead of giving her access to the powers of her heritage, the Panther God furiously scolded Shuri. 

She was told that her jealousy towards her brother, and arrogance in her God’s presence have cost her the title of Black Panther, for good. Nevertheless, when Wakanda faced complete annihilation at the hands of Morlun, Zawavari convinced Shuri that Wakanda had just one possibility to survive. The country relied too much in modern weapons and technology, as much as Shuri relied in her training skills, but both of them forgot their ancient roots. Convinced that this was her destiny, Shuri took the Panther’s mantle to face  Morlun and defend her brother. 

Their battle taking them right into Zawavari’s home, the witch doctor used his mystical powers to transport Morlun to Limbo, who’s soul-saturated essence prove irresistible to Death, who released T’Challa and Storm’s souls, and kept Morlun in their place. Shuri later discovers that through her self-sacrificing act to save Wakanda, that she earned the mantle of the Black Panther.
