She’s brave. She’s fearless. Her mission at the opening of the movie is incredibly important to her. Only the death of her king will break her away.
A Three?
She feels deeply. Injustice lights her on fire. Yet in her personal relationship she is cautious. Feelings don’t rule her in romance. These are very Woman Three traits.
Also, naturally, she’s great at what she does. Three. The family depends on her.
While admirable, Nakia is not a character we latch onto. Shuri, yes, she’s personable and animated. Okoye, yes. Who doesn’t love her fierceness and dedication? Nakia, though, is always distant. Three. A movie that made her the protagonist would be very important and probably boring.
Competency is dull, no matter how great the actress who portrays it. Interesting.
