Something with a tone similar to Batgirl, aiming for that YA audience. Shuri's a great character for that type of direction and I think she'd succeed with someone like you or Eve Ewing at the helm.
It's not like a huge thing for me, but it'd be nice if she had a codename or tagline that was more than just princess (though I'd like it under certain circumstances). I don't think it's saying "she's not good enough" but that she's carved out her own niche and going forward with her own brand of heroism. She'd still be called Shuri in regular conversation but I don't think having a formal superhero name hurts or confuses the audience, it only signals her independence. Though I agree since she'll likely always be in that amorphous late teens-early 20s age range I guess a superhero ID isn't absolutely necessary.
