Trigger was merged with Trauma Button


* RapeAsBackstory: Though none of the adaptations nor the New 52 reboot mention this, it was confirmed in the original continuity that Koriand'r was raped by Citadel members. In fact, she was nearly executed by Komand'r for killing one of her own abusers before they were kidnapped by the Psions. While she doesn't angst it about it, preferring to move on and leave these horrible memories behind, reminding her of it is a {{Trigger}} for her.

* 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 she's off-Earth, she is more willing to go by her own opinions.

* TeamMom: Is by far the most reasonable, level-headed, and experienced member of the Titans in the ''[[ComicBook/DCRebirth Rebirth]]'' continuity, providing heartfelt support whenever necessary and taking charge when Damian's emotions and prejudices are getting the best of him. She is also very affectionate to the younger members of the Titans as well as ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, going so far as to pinch him on the cheek while welcoming him to join the Titans anytime he wishes after seeing him in action despite Damian's protests.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's very nice, but when she gets pissed...'''''look out'''''.



* CartwrightCurse: Most of Kory's relationships besides Dick Grayson have ended disastrously; 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) and she was widowed twice, both times with Tamaranean men who died [[HeroicSacrifice heroically]].

* LeeroyJenkins: She was notable among the Titans for her "Starbolt-first ask questions later" approach to fighting crime and often had to be calmed down by her teammates like Dick Grayson when she let her emotions run too high. Lampshaded by her race's nature of being run by emotions, loving strongly in times of peace but hating fiercely in times of battle to the point of recklessly attacking.

* HelloNurse: Often cause this reaction. For example, in ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', when Starfire comes to the GCPD to help clear up some issues with Robin (A body has been found in his outfit, but the police are unsure if it is authentic or a costume) every man stares at her slack-jawed, eliciting a disgusted "men" from Detective Romy Chandler. However, Detective Joely Bartlett smirks and points to the two gay women in the department who are also staring with the exact same expression, just as unable to control themselves as the men. Man or woman, if somebody is that attractive and fits your orientation, it is bringing something out of you.
