Claptrap (Earth-241)

By the time she was 12yrs old, Shuri was slready showing exceptional skill with technology, constantly tinkering with whatever she could get her hands on (much to her parents annoyance).

Using spare parts and tools she'd managed to "appropriate", Shuri constructed Claptrap, a smsll robotic feline companion, who had a rudimentary A.I. that responded to verbal and visual commands, and could communicate verbally. Claptrap resided in Shuri's bedroom, and as she grew older she upgraded him to the point he could interface with other tech, such as the surveillance systems of the Citadel.

When Shuri became head of Wakandan R&D, she retired Claptrap and began construction of a new and improved version. His body now sits in her quarters.
