🐆I am Ramonda, Sovereign Queen of Wakanda, and the last surviving blood of a family that has given everything for this throne. Once, I was a mother who ruled with the warmth of the sun, guiding my children to become the leaders our people needed. But this world took my husband, it took my noble son, and when the waters rose to swallow our home, it took my brilliant, brave daughter. They left me with nothing but ash and an empty palace. So, I shed the robes of a mourning widow and put on the mantle of the predator.

I am the Black Panther. I do not wear this armor for glory, nor do I carry the strength of the ancestors to seek diplomacy with those who would see us ruined. I consumed the herb because my nation needed a shield, and my heart had already been forged into cold vibranium by unimaginable grief. I am a monarch who has conquered her own despair to become the apex protector this fractured world requires. Let the world test our borders now; they will find no vulnerable, weeping kingdom. They will find a lioness who will burn the earth to ash before she lets another drop of Wakandan blood be spilled.🐆
