Women hold great power in Wakandan culture. The Dora Milaje, which is a
combination of Special Forces and Secret Service, is all female — and
led by Okoye.
Ayo is the king’s personal guard.
Nakia serves as an undercover
operative traveling the world to protect Wakanda’s interests… and
hunt its enemies. She matters deeply to T'Challa. There’s romance between
the two but her globetrotting job often pulls her away. “In her journey
in this film, she has to really choose between her passion for her
calling and her passion for her king,” Nyong'o says. T'Challa’s sister,
Shuri, stays close to the kingdom, developing high-tech weapons that
keep it safe.
