More than anything, though, I like the fact that she is her own woman.

As a member of the Hatut Zeraze (Dogs of War) her purview of the world is very different than many other Wakandans where most wish to keep themselves shielded from the rest of the world, she longs for the veil to be lifted so that they might be able to provide assistance to those who are truly in need of it. Each person who took on the responsibility dedicated their life as the protector and leader of Wakanda and, in later times, the universe.
