History ComicBook / Starfire

* EverythingIsBetterWithPrincesses: Starfire is the heir to Tamaran's throne, though that doesn't really play much in her role as a superhero. She is usually frequently referred by as "princess" nonetheless.

* BoobsOfSteel

* FishOutOfWater: Her current characterization in her solo series.

* FlyingBrick[=/=]FlyingFirepower: Though her super-strength is often downplayed in favor of her energy blasts and [[MsFanservice babe status]]. She's tough, but not outright invulnerable, so she straddles the line between this and FlyingFirepower.

* HumanAliens: Tamaranians are indistinguishible from humans, save the solid green eyes and spray-tan color skin, yet are specifically stated to taxonomically be felines rather than apes.

* MonochromaticEyes: Her eyes are drawn as blank and green. She's given irises and pupils in her solo series.

-->'''Blackfire''': ''Ha! I should have expected one like you. My sweet sister has a talent for attracting devoted protectors... Usually '''males'''. Always''' foolish.''

* EverythingIsBetterWithPrincesses: Starfire is the heir to Tamaran's throne, though that doesn't really play much in her role as a superhero,

* CartwrightCurse: Most of Kory's relationships have ended disastrously besides Dick Grayson; Her first human boyfriend before Robin was an undercover H.I.V.E. agent ordered to spy on the Titans and was executed after genuinely falling in love with her (though she never found out the truth). She was widowed twice, both times with Tamaranean men who died [[HeroicSacrifice heroically]].

* DudeMagnet: She is a real head-turner. Case in point, when she visits the Gotham City Police Department in ''[[ComicBook/GothamCentral]]'', not just every men stares at her slack-jawed [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer but also a few women too]].

* DependingOnTheArtist: Whether or not she has FlamingHair.

* CainAndAbel: With her sister Komand'r. Their rivalry was caused due to Komand'r being jealous of her younger sister being more favored than her, leading to betraying her own people to their Citadel enemies and selling Koriand'r to them as a slave. Its so brutal that [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the animated version]] toned it down considerably.

* EthicalSlut: What she was supposed to come off as in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'', although she had sex with only one person off panel in one issue. While the general idea behind this was consistent with her previous characterization since the 80s, in which she was portrayed as an InnocentFanserviceGirl and AllLovingHero, the handling of it was generally considered to be botched badly and eventually resulted in her removal from the team. Her own series goes back to having it as an extension of her generally loving and caring personality.

* InterspeciesRomance: With Dick Grayson, as well as a few other Earth men.

* PowerOfTheSun: Her powers are fuelled by sunlight. Specifically the ultraviolet rays.

* MsFanservice: Kory is regarded as extremely physically attractive even by the standards of the superhero. Add to that her love of skimpy clothing and you get this trope on steroids.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: She's a hot-headed warrior princess who can brutally kill or kick the ass of almost any evil doer, but she's as gentle as a lamb with her friends and innocents.

* FlyingBrick: Though her super-strength is often downplayed in favor of her energy blasts and [[MsFanservice babe status]]. She's tough, but not outright invulnerable, so she straddles the line between this and FlyingFirepower.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Her solo series does not seem to acknowledge anything from Comicbook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws. Though it does seem to incorporate her romantic history with [[Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]].

* MsFanservice: Kory is regarded as extremely physically attractive even by the standards of the superhero add to that her love of skimpy clothing and you get this trope on steroids.

* BerserkButton: Harming (directly or indirectly) her friends and family tends to get her pissed off. She also doesn't take too kindly to the act of murdering people [[{{Hypocrite}} despite being all too willing to and having had committed murder herself]]. She tries to put those time behind her, with varying success.

* EightiesHair: Her initial look. Her hairstyle has changed in later times. It's wavy more-so than curly; it's incredibly long and thick, but it looks like normal hair nowadays. Her ''TinyTitans'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' depictions show her with straight hair; though they've both temporarily been shown with the original style as a MythologyGag.

** {{Flight}}: Which leaves a distinctive energy contrail behind, looking as if it is coming directly from her hair. Starfire has also been stated to have flown light years through space in short amounts of tim.

* MsFanservice: Kory is regarded as extremely physically attractive even by the standards of the superhero.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Both Teen Titans shows and her 2015 solo comic series have her donning A-Rank boots.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Starfire does not adhere to this, since she not only isn't an earthling, but because she was born in a warrior culture and trained as one. This has led to conflict between Nightwing and Donna Troy. She does her best to respect earth rules, but when off earth, she is more willing to go by her own opinions.
