Fan Casting Isipho Semvula in Black Panther

[T'Challa] - I can see you from up there. - Looks like someone's still good at this. - 'Still'? [she climbs down from the tree] - You weren't the best at first, but let's try to bury that fact :) - Hmm.. - Oh, I'm talking to the king now, do I have to practice curtsying, your majesty? - Not at all exaggerated, is it? - [Laughs] I'm just trying to lighten things up.

Kind, but at the same time cunning, she is prone to breaking a few rules if necessary.
