## Personality

Shuri is a highly intelligent and calculating individual; for example, she is always constantly; making improvements to wakanda's technology; particularly the rare metal alloy, vibranium, as she believes that; even if something has already been improved, does not mean that; it doesn't need to be further improved.

Shuri is a fan of american culture; as evidenced by the fact that; she dresses in american style clothing; such as brand t-shirts, jeans and shorts in contrast to the traditional or high-class clothes of other wakandans. Shuri's inventions are hinted to have be directly inspired; by the films that; she would watch; with her father, the late T'Chaka.

Due to a being a modern individual; Shuri severely dislikes traditional ceremonial clothing; for example, she had once complained about the corset that; she had to wear; during T'Challa's crowning ceremony.

Shuri has a very child-like demeanor; for example, she is always teasing her brother, T'Challa and never having several regards to formality. But she does love her family a lot and does become very concerned about their safety; particularly her brother, T'Challa's; proving that; she is both a loving daughter and sister simultaneously.

Shuri is sometimes sarcastic; to the point of being rude; for example; when Everett Ross asked Shuri "what must i do; with the wakandan planes that; i have found", she had (sarcastically) stated; "shoot them down, genius".

Shuri is extremely arrogant and overconfident; to the point of underestimating her opponents; for example, after her cousin, N'Jadaka had challenged her brother, T'Challa for both the throne of wakanda and the mantle of "Black Panther" simultaneously, she (arrogantly) believed that; N'Jadaka couldn't win; completely disregarding her cousin's reputation as both a navy seal and black ops mercenary simultaneously; but unfortunately, she soon became horrified; when N'Jadaka had gained the upper hand over T'Challa and defeated him in ritual combat.

But despite this, Shuri does not truly learn from her mistakes; for example; even after she had witnessed how deadly N'Jadaka was as a combatant, she still had underestimated him, almost costing Shuri her life; when she had got; into a direct confrontation against her cousin, only surviving; due to T'Challa's intervention.
