Koriand'r (Teen Titans TV Series)

History

Starfire was born and raised on the distant planet Tamaran by her knorfka (caregiver or nanny) Galfore before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans.

Starfire was held prisoner as a "prize" by the Citadel as a result of her sister negotiating a "truce" with the Gordanians.^[4] She managed to escape and fled to the closest planet, which happened to be Earth. Starfire ran into Robin and others to form the Teen Titans who helped her fight off the Gordanian forces pursuing her. After the battle, Starfire elected to stay on Earth with the Titans.

Because English is not her first language, Starfire spoke without contractions, and misused idioms such a "Kick the butt!" as opposed to "Kick butt!" Additionally, she occasionally use Tamaranean nouns, such as "bumgorf" (term of endearment), "k'norfka" (parent or guardian), and "shlorvak" (dream).

Starfire was naive and somewhat insecure which made her endearing to others, especially Robin, who was romantically interested in her. Besides Robin, she has been together with Aquaman, a pot of chilli, and a scratching post. An alien and an outsider, she was still new to Earth and its customs, leading to much confusion for her and others, such as the awkwardness in casually drinking mustard, or sleeping in a bed the wrong way around.

Powers

• Tamaranean Physiology

She used a small bust from he finger to free Raven from a cage.^[7] She could engulf something in her starbolt energy without having to touch or throw a starbolt at it.^[8] After going through the Tamaranean equivalent of puberty (referred to as the "Transformation"), she gained the power and ability to channel her starbolt energy through her eyes.^[9]
  • Self-Sustenance: Starfire could survive in the vacuum of space without any sort of protection or survival gear.
