Shuri is the Princess of Wakanda, the youngest child and only daughter of T'Chaka and Ramonda, the younger sister of T'Challa, and the leader of the Wakandan Design Group. An innovator responsible for creating much of Wakanda's modern technology, she is also known for designing the current generation Panther Habits.
From her brother's romantic relationship with Zipporah, Shuri is the paternal aunt of Imani Udaku.
Following her brother's coronation, Shuri assisted him and the Dora Milaje in tracking down Ulysses Klaue, only to be forced to flee the Golden City as Erik Killmonger overthrew the throne, eventually returning to reclaim Wakanda. Shortly after, Shuri succeeded in eliminating the HYDRA programming from Bucky Barnes' mind.
