History ComicBook / TeenTitans

Both titles were see a StatusQuo shake-up due to the events of ComicBook/JusticeLeagueNoJustice: ''Titans'' got a new line-up featuring Nightwing, Troia, Beast Boy, Raven, Steel II and Miss Martian (although Nightwing eventually got booted off the book, promoting Troia as leader and bringing in Characters/GreenLanternKyleRayner) focusing on the monsters formed from the Source Wall breaking and eventually culminating into another attack by the Brotherhood of Evil. ''Teen Titans'' became more DarkerAndEdgier with Damian adopting a more deadly approach towards villains by caging them. A new line-up would be formed with Robin V, Kid Flash III, Red Arrow II, Crush, Djinn and Roundhouse.

** Jason Todd/Robin II: Dies in ''ComicBook/BatmanADeathInTheFamily''. Later gets revived in ''ComicBook/UnderTheHood''

** Bart Allen/Impulse/Kid Flash II/The Flash IV: Dies in ''[[ComicBook/TheFlashFastestManAlive2006 The Flash: Fastest Man Alive]]'' before being revived in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis: ComicBook/LegionOnThreeWorlds'' #3

** Bart Allen/Impulse/Kid Flash II/The Flash IV: Dies in ''[[ComicBook/TheFlashFastestManAlive The Flash: Fastest Man Alive]]'' before being revived in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis: ComicBook/LegionOnThreeWorlds'' #3

Around the time after ''ComicBook/TitansHunt'' finished began the ''Total Chaos'' storyline which saw the time-travelling teens attempt to kill Donna Troy's son, who in the future would become the villainous Lord Chaos. This spun off into DC's attempt at having teens in their Titans franchise as the aptly named: '''ComicBook/TeamTitans'''. The first half of the run dealt with stopping their bad future and discovering who they were in the present timeline with the second half of the run developing a story thread that would tie in to ''ComicBook/ZeroHour''. It would be revealed that the man responsible for sending the Titans to the future was, in fact, the future Hank Hall AKA '''[[ComicBook/Armageddon2001 Monarch]]'''. Revealing the the team was sent as sleeper agents so that his timeline would succeed, the team fought against Extant and won. As a result, the timeline began to mend itself with the team sacrificing themselves to save the present from it's future, fulfilling their original mission.

This ultimately led to Wolfman bringing Roy Harper, also known as Speedy, and reintroducing him as the new leader of the Titans as '''Arsenal'''. This coincided with a lot more ExecutiveMeddling, culminating in the "original" team formally disbanding in issue #114 with a brand new team being launched out of ComicBook/ZeroHour consisting of Arsenal, Changeling, Damage, Impulse, Mirage, Terra II, Characters/GreenLanternKyleRayner, Matrix!Supergirl and [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Darkstar]]. This era would see a few storylines such as [[ComicBook/ForeverEvil1995 Forever Evil]] and [[ComicBook/CrimelordSyndicateWar Crimelord-Syndicate War]]. The title eventually ended with the [[ComicBook/{{Meltdown}} Meltdown!]] storyline running through issues #127-130, ending in February 1996.

In MediaNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}, the series returned as ''The New Teen Titans'', launched in 1980. Written by Marv Wolfman and drawn by George Perez, this version of the series was the most successful and the most iconic (as well as being the version the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 2003 animated series]] is most based on). It brought back Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash, and teamed them up with new characters ComicBook/{{Cyborg}}, ComicBook/{{Raven}}, and ComicBook/{{Starfire}}, along with previously-established character [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Beast]] [[ComicBook/BeastBoy Boy]], now renamed Changeling.

The original series began back in UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks, with a one-shot story in ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold'' #54 (July, 1964), where three {{Sidekick}}s, ComicBook/{{Robin}}, [[ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} Aqualad]], and [[ComicBook/TheFlash Kid Flash]], teamed up. The issue sold notably well, and, after a few more tryouts and the addition of ComicBook/WonderGirl (despite that she was actually intended to be the original Wonder Woman as a girl, and not a contemporary sidekick) and [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Speedy]], became an ongoing series.

** New editor Jonathan Peterson kicked off the 90s with a bang by organizing what would eventually be known as ''ComicBook/TitansHunt'', which brought the series fully into UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks. ''Titans Hunt'' was BloodierAndGorier than anything put in the series so far, killing off countless side-characters and even a few old Titans.

* '''The Original/"Fab Five"/Silver Age Team''': The founding team, from 1964, mainly consisted of the main sidekicks of the Justice League members also known as the "Fab Five": '''[[Characters/NightwingDickGrayson Robin I]]''', '''[[ComicBook/{{Tempest}} Aqualad I]]''', '''[[Characters/TheFlashWallyWest Kid Flash I]]''', '''[[Characters/WonderGirlDonnaTroy Wonder Girl I]]''' and '''[[Characters/ArsenalRoyHarper Speedy I]]'''. The team would later be joined by a few more members such as the ginger precog '''[[Characters/TeenTitansLilithClay Lilith Clay]]''', the hallmark Black teenage superhero couple '''[[Characters/TeenTitansMalDuncan Guardian]]''' and '''[[Characters/TeenTitansKarenBeecher Bumblebee]]''', the caveboy '''[[Characters/TeenTitansOriginalTeenTitans Gnarrk]]''' and the [[IHaveManyNames daughter of many villains]], '''[[Characters/TeenTitansDuelaDent The Joker's Daughter]]'''.

** "The Children of the Sun", were a group of children born from the Titan of Myth Thia who didn't even get to start their intended arc, as the Crisis on Infinite Earth made some radical changes to the mythos, and the Children resurfaced as a cult with no relation to the Titans at all.

* {{Tsundere}}:
** It's a little bit unclear whether Raven is a type B {{Tsundere}}, a SugarAndIcePersonality, or both.
** Bombshell also qualifies as a Type A when her father negotiates her return to the Titans for safekeeping. It's just very hard to tell, considering her vulnerable moments are very few and far between.

* WeddingEpisode: In one issue of ''The New Teen Titans'', Donna marries Terry Long in an example of a fairly mundane wedding which just happens to have a bunch of superheroes in attendance.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Why hasn't Zatanna apologized to Raven? Her advising the Justice League not to trust her is the reason why the New Teen Titans became a team in the first place. To make matters even worse, she turned the whole team against her moments before Trigon's first appearance.

* WolverinePublicity: Damian Wayne was put into the team for an issue, which was around the time ''ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison'' was really popular due to Dick Grayson taking up the Batman mantle.
* YankTheDogsChain: The gruesome fate of Marvin and Wendy in ''Teen Titans Volume 3''. Wendy urges Marvin that they should quit, feeling useless and underappreciated, but Cyborg and Red Devil encourage them and let them know how important to the team they are. [[spoiler: And then Wonder Dog, recently adopted by the Titans, turns out to be a Hellhound owned by Ares' son Lycus, who mauls both Marvin and Wendy to death]].

** All the [[LegacyCharacter Brothers Blood]] were cursed with this. They do not age, but at some point, each one's son kill his father and becomes the new Brother Blood, who would be killed by his own son a centur later, and so on.

* LightningCanDoAnything: Static is the Patron Saint of this Trope.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Dick (Nightwing) and Donna (Troia) are almost patron saints for this trope. When George Perez drew them, they even ''looked'' like fraternal twins.
* LoveHurts: Another hallmark motif of the Wolfman-Perez era: the main cast's perpetually torturous love lives.
** Robin's emotional constipation made him poorly suited for the openly loving Starfire, as well as his moderate fear of her killing instincts.
** Kid Flash had a Hell of a time dealing with his... ''thing'' with Raven, which started with her tampering with his brain to make him do what she wanted and went FromBadToWorse once she tortured him while she was briefly BrainwashedAndCrazy under Trigon's influence during the Omega Men arc, despite the story insisting there was also some mutual romantic attraction in there as well.
** Cyborg had trouble securing lasting relationships throughout all of Wolfman's run; his first girlfriend, Marcy, was not a fan of his extensive prosthetics; he got along famously with Sarah Simms, but kept shutting her out due to his own shame, and ultimately things dragged on so long that she found someone else; and his third major girlfriend, Dr. Sarah Charles of STAR Labs, hit trouble both when she took a job on the opposite coast of the country and during a Wildebeest incident with a STAR Labs spy, where he refused all contact with STAR Labs personnel, her included.
** Beast Boy's relationship with Terra went up in flames so massive it was [[ComicBook/TheJudasContract one of the most famous franchise stories of all time]].
* LukeIAmYourFather
** Lilith grew up not knowing at all where did she came from, or the source of her powers. Then, one day, Thia (one of the Titans of Myth) shows up and gave her the "WeCanRuleTogether" speech.
** Changeling had a less troublesome case with one of the villains of the Doom Patrol, who was actually his former foster parent. But, as he was an {{Abusive Parent|s}} in his own right, this simply gave him the excuse to fight him even harder.

* MagnetismManipulation: This is the power of the tragic villain Magenta.
* ModestyBedsheet: In the very first issue of ''The New Teen Titans'' Volume 2 (1984), Dick Grayson and Starfire are shown waking in bed. Both are barely covered by bedsheets. This scene became controversial both as the first display of a young couple post-coitus in a comic and as the first overt display of Dick Grayson's sex life. Since then, [[ReallyGetsAround most writers have just run with it]].
* TheMole: Terra. What's hilarious is that at no point in the comic does she ever seem to at all ''hide'' he fact that she is constantly lying to and dislikes nearly everyone on the team.
** Subverted with the finalized origin of Terra II. She was sent to the surface world to help Mankind by her people, who were oblivious to the fact that Terra was evil.

* MoreDiverseSequel: The original series created in the sixties starred ComicBook/{{Robin}}, ComicBook/WonderGirl, [[ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} Aqualad]], [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Speedy]], and [[ComicBook/TheFlash Kid Flash]]. All of them are white, with Wonder Girl as the only female. After later being retooled as the "New Teen Titans" to [[FollowTheLeader combat Marvel's success]] with ''ComicBook/XMen'', this team was similarly relaunched with a more diverse roster. Robin was the only returning member and was joined by Beast Boy (who is also a white male), ComicBook/{{Raven}} (a half-demon female), ComicBook/{{Starfire}} (an alien) and ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} (an African-American).

* MythicalMotifs: Explored in an arc, which introduces the Indian hero [[Myth/HinduMythology Solstice]].
* NarratingTheObvious: Defied during Starfire's first adventure, when the Titans managed to destroy a Gordanian ship. The other ship saw it in their screen, and a mook told it to his captain... who interrupted him and ordered him to shut up. He has eyes and he's seeing what's happening.
* NeverRecycleABuilding: Figures in Marv Wolfman's story "Who Is Donna Troy?" Apparently a burnt-out building sat in that condition for about 16 years, and Donna's childhood doll was ''still'' in a room of said burnt-out building and not carried off for nesting material. This is a key clue used by Robin to track down Donna's origins.

** The Titans give one to the Justice League for their gross mishandling of the Trigon situation.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: At the beginning of the new series after the "OYL" gap, Robin (Tim Drake) returns to his room at night and sits on his bed, only to have a naked and ''extremely'' drunk Ravager (Rose Wilson) wrap her arms around him and try to seduce him. Robin's completely not interested but, knowing Ravager can be a bit hard to dissuade, pins her down on the bed and starts to handcuff her hands behind her. Then Kid Devil walks in.
-->'''Kid Devil:''' Hot damn!\\
'''Robin:''' This isn't what it looks like.\\
'''Ravager:''' Yes it is.
* ObviouslyEvil: The original Brother Blood is RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver, and the few white parts of his costume are skeletal. He has no problem getting on TV and preaching righteousness in full demon getup, which is likely as exaggerated as a VillainWithGoodPublicity has ever been while being played straight.
* {{Omniglot}}: Classic Starfire learns new languages through kissing. In the ''X-Men'' crossover, she kissed Colossus when he spoke Russian, motivating Nightcrawler to ask, "''Fräulein, sprechen Sie Deutsche?''"
* OneSteveLimit: With Wonder Woman having such strong relations with the Greek pantheon, it was only a matter of time before the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(mythology) Titans]] (Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius and Iapetus and the females Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis) were included in DC as well. And where Wonder Woman goes, Wonder Girl will surely eventually follow. But they are not "The" Titans of DC, so this other group was named the "Titans of Myth". And if you think that's confusing, it's even more for Troia, who has been a member of both.

* PleasePutSomeClothesOn:
** In one issue, Ravager (Rose Wilson) drunkenly comes on to Robin (Tim Drake) by hiding in his bed completely naked. When he refuses her offer to "be friends", he handcuffs her with her hands behind her back... immediately after, an intruder alarm goes off, causing Kid Devil to rush to Robin's room and find [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a naked handcuffed Ravager with Robin on top of her]]. After Robin tries to explain that it is NotWhatItLooksLike, they rush off to confront the intruder whilst Robin tells Ravager to put some clothes on.
** Tim's predecessor was saying this to Starfire a LOT during the Wolfman-Perez run.

* PoorlyDisguisedPilot:
** ''The New Teen Titans'' Annual 2 served as a pitch for ''ComicBook/{{Vigilante}}''
** The third volume had a filler arc written by Creator/GailSimone and illustrated by Creator/RobLiefeld involving the Titans helping Hawk and Dove fight their enemy Kestrel that was intended to serve as the start of a ''Titans East'' spinoff.
** Creator/GeoffJohns' run had a two-part crossover with ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' titled "Superboy and the Legion", which had the two teams battle the Fatal Five Hundred (an AllianceOfAlternates consisting of the Legion's enemies the Fatal Five and 99 alternate counterparts thereof) and was the starting point for the Legion's Threeboot era written by Creator/MarkWaid, the Threeboot continuity being created by a CosmicRetcon resulting from the energies released by destroying every Persuader's Atomic Axe.

* ThePowerOfLegacy: In the original "Judas Contract" arc, the other Titans gave Terra a hero's funeral, a statue in their hall, and told everyone (including her half-brother, Geo-Force) that she died a hero. The truth was that she was TheMole and EvilAllAlong.

* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: During the Wolfman-Perez run, Wally's crippling indecision goes hand in hand with his loss in powers and coronary problems. Trigon himself pins the kid for having a weak heart.
* PublicExposure: Mirage used her illusion powers to disguise herself as Starfire and pose naked for a men's magazine. Starfire was not amused when she found out.
* PutOnABus:
** Nightwing was put on one towards the end of the New Teen Titans run.
** The final issue before J.T. Krul's run ended with half of the then-current Teen Titans being written out of the book.
** With the Flashpoint reboot, all of the Titans save for Cassie, Tim, Connor, Kiran, and Bart are now gone. Furthermore, even the villains are now on a bus, as Scott Lobdell had announced that his run will not feature a single existing Teen Titan villain. Rose Wilson is kind of an exception, but her origin has been changed around [[note]]Of course, Lobdell had to change his statement about the villains eventually, as editorial had him introduce the New 52 version of Trigon to the book.[[/note]]
* RedShirt: Kole was created specifically for this purpose. Wolfman was obligated by his fellow creators to kill one off ''his'' characters for the ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths because ''they'' all had to kill off people they were using for it. He ended up kind of liking her in the end, but a deal's a deal, and he didn't have to wipe out any major character.

* RetCanon: The cartoon proved to have a pretty big impact on the comics:
** Following the ''One Year Later'' TimeSkip from ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', Beast Boy donned his costume from the cartoon and Raven donned a similar costume to the one from the cartoon (modified to include a bird symbol and leggings).
** Beast Boy was given pointy ears and fanged teeth to match his animated counterpart.
** The future incarnation of Cyborg from the "Titans of Tomorrow" storyline has blue plating similar to his cartoon self.
** A series of Titans East teams also appeared, but only the third bore any resemblance to the cartoon's version, the first (whose ranks include the aforementioned future Cyborg) being from the future and freedom fighters against [[FutureMeScaresMe their old teammates]] and the second being PsychoRangers set up by Deathstroke.
** The concept of a romantic relationship between Beast Boy and Raven originated in the TV show before being ported back to the comics.
** Joto was renamed Hotspot like his TV incarnation (though that was partly because the reason his codename was changed for the cartoon in the first place was due to the discovery that "Joto" was a homophobic slur in Latin American Spanish).

** Starfire has got married and stayed in Tamaran. Nightwing does not want to hear about anything. Changeling tries to stop Mento, who got crazy. Cyborg is in the hospital, after Mento almost killed him. Raven has been missing since ''ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon''. Kole is dead, and Jericho is crying for her. The New Titans are no more. So, who will work with Wonder Girl? Wally West, Jason Todd, Speedy, Aqualad and Hawk. The original Teen Titans are back! (but not for very long).
** Following the end of ''Teen Titans Volume 2''[[note]]The series dedicated to the H'san Natall and their affairs.[[/note]], apparently ''somebody'' felt the franchise had gone too far astray, so Devin Grayson's work on ''The Titans'' (launched in 1999) and the [=JLA/Titans=] crossover preceding it focused greatly on setting up the Fab Five as TrueCompanions and building a new phase of the team based around the Fab Five and their personal nominees.
* RollInTheHay: During ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', Wonder Girl and Superboy consumate their love in the hay loft of the Kents barn before Superboy flies off to confront Superboy-Prime.

* SequelHook: At the end of the origin of Lilith. She happens to be the daughter of Thia, one of the Titans of Myth, who mentioned in passing that she has several offspring in the world, at strategic positions of modern power (politics, economy, military, etc). And the adventures continues... but that point was not forgotten. At the end of the story, we see the personal assistant of the U.S. President, who takes the phone and calls other people. "Yes. Our mother is dead, but her plans will live on. The sons of Thia, the sons of the Sun, will someday rule the world!". An interesting point for a future story arc... which never took place. ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' took place after it, with its massive cosmic retcon, and the Titans of Myth were completely redefined. The Sons of Thia are not there anymore, and never carried out their plans.

* ShapeshiftingSeducer: MasterOfIllusion Mirage combines this with BedTrick, transforming herself into Starfire so she can sleep with Nightwing.
* ShoutOut:
** Wolfman loves his shout outs. There are frequent references to the Muppets and Sesame Street in the ''New Teen Titans'', occasionally to comics from Marvel, and there are even two Russian villains named [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle Boris and Tasha]].
** In ''New Teen Titans'' #15 Dick sings "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze" while pulling off a quadruple somersault into a pool.
* SidekickGraduationsStick: Nightwing, Arsenal, Troia, Tempest, The Flash. Possibly Red Robin and Red Devil.
* SlutShaming: WordOfGod confirms that the first Terra was shown in a sexual relationship with villain Slade Wilson specifically to emphasize how evil she was by showing what a slut she was, despite there being no evidence that she ever slept with anyone else. Add to that that she was 16 while Slade is significantly older and it crosses into QuestionableConsent territory since technically ''Slade'' is the one who's emotionally manipulating a 16 year old girl. Later on, Slade actually gets written as an AntiHero while ''Terra'' is the one who eventually dies[[note]]FWIW, the age of consent in California, where the Titans' HQ is, is 18 - meaning Slade is guilty of statutory rape[[/note]].

* StalkerWithACrush: That winged man that fell in love with Lilith at first sight.

* StarterVillain: ''Trigon'', ironically enough, who is fought at the beginning of each ''The New Teen Titans'' publication and ''Tales of the Teen Titans''. The FinalBoss, by comparison, is Brother Blood.
* SuddenNameChange: Chimera, a minor character in the "Team Titans" era, originally had her full name given as "Sanjeet Rey". However, a later card set by DC called her "Sanjeet Gupta". Even later in the title's (short) run, Chimera gave her name as "Sanjeet Bhatia".

%%* TeamMom: Troia became this during the Team Titans era.
* TeamTitle

* TerminatorTwosome: In an alternate future, Troia gave birth to a child with godly powers, who became an adult instantly, killed his mother and conquered the world. The Team Titans go back in time to kill Donna Troy and prevent the existence of Lord Chaos. And the one who also goes back in time, to stop them and save Lord Chaos is... Lord Chaos himself.
* ThatManIsDead: District attorney Adrian Chase is dead. Now there's only ComicBook/{{Vigilante}}, and the mob leader Scarapelli must die. Robin is sick of hearing that rap, and reminded Chase that IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim. And, while he said that, Scarapelli tried to kill Robin, but Vigilante tossed him aside in time and killed Scarapelli anyway.
* TimeyWimeyBall: One afflicted the ''Team Titans'', who came back to the past to fix a BadFuture, and Lord Chaos, the villain of that BadFuture, came following after them... only for specific details to start to go wrong (including a rather dramatic {{Retcon}} that indicated that Lord Chaos, who was originally indicated to have aged himself to adulthood upon birth, to instead suddenly remember that he became Lord Chaos several years later as a child... and yet still somehow expected drama in connection with his birth specifically); and afterwards the Team Titans discover they've apparently returned to a time where they never existed in the first place. Rather than go back to their own past, it seems they all accidentally wound up in an AlternateUniverse past.
* TitanomachyRoundTwo: In issues 12 and 13 of the Wolfman & Pérez run, Hyperion escapes from his prison on Tartarus and enchants Donna Troy, enlisting her help to free his fellow Titans. They lay siege on Mount Olympus, facing the combined forces of the Greek Gods, the female New Titans and the Amazons, though the conflict ultimately reaches a peaceful conclusion: [[spoiler:Athena points out that, since the Titans have long been prophesied to lose the war, they have no hope of winning. Starfire then suggests they return to Tartarus and endeavor to transform the place into their personal paradise, with the Titans stoically complying]].

** The book actually had two black cast members in the 70s, and it was going to be averted with Cyborg and the character who eventually became Starfire in the Wolfman team, but they went with an alien girl instead.

* {{Tomboy}}: Wonder Girl II (Cassie) originally started as this in her Young Justice days, then went through a GirlinessUpdate, before being riddled with {{Wangst}}. Bombshell now seems to serve this role.
* ToiletHumour: During Bart Allen's eulogy at the end of Geoff Johns' run, several shortsighted screw-ups of his are brought up. One of them was that he created an international incident by misunderstanding why the pneumatic tubes used to transport to Gorilla City were called "p-tubes".
* TooDumbToLive: The Titans once fought against Goth, a demon that posed as a teen idol and convinced all his fans that they would be better in Hell. The Titans rescued them, sure. But there was one fanboy that stuck with Goth, and insisted that he wants to go to Hell because it would be so cool. Goth teleported him to Hell... and something got wrong, so he was teleported back. And insisted. "[[BloodyHilarious Try again... and this time, through the front door!]]

* AGlitchInTheMatrix: In one issue of ''Titans'', Roy Harper broke the illusion generated by the Gargoyle by relying on his lack of information on his MissingMom. The Gargoyle tried to recreate a facsimile of Roy's childhood if he had grown up with his birth parents, but because Roy has such an incredible lack of info on his mom, to the fact that he only knows he had to have one in general, the Gargoyle could only go as far as "your mom is."

%%* HalfHumanHybrid: Raven

* HeinousnessRetcon: Geoff Johns' run revealed that not only was Deathstroke behind Cassandra Cain's FaceHeelTurn by brainwashing her with a special drug but he had also done this to Tara Markov in order to use her against the Titans. Keep in mind that in the original story, Slade was in a sexual relationship with the teenage Tara yet the story treated him as the more sympathetic of the two.

* HotterAndSexier: Under the Wolfman-Perez run, the Teen Titans first started undergoing blatant displays of romantic and sexual adventures, nude females and wells for EatingTheEyeCandy, as well as introspection into the sex lives of heroes. In particular, the New Teen Titans run had the first display of a young couple post-coitus in a comic and the first overt display of Dick Grayson's sex life, which later writers would follow suit over the decades. Pérez actually stated that some characters like Starfire were meant specifically to exude sexuality. Pérez himself purposely arranged this, such as the case with the Teen Titan Jericho at the time, to emphasize that [[https://www.titanstower.com/jericho/ an expression of sexual appetite and ReallyGetsAround status doesn't make a superhero less of a superhero.]]
* HumanHeadOnTheWall: ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} is possessed by his son Jericho, who murders Slade's loyal butler Wintergreen and mounts his head on a wall.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Kid/Red Devil, to such an extreme that he made a deal with Neron to have powers. It is one of his defining character traits and is the motivation for almost every decision he makes.

** When Raven first came to Earth, she went to the Justice League to ask for help in defending Earth against her father. They did not help her: Zatanna sensed a great evil in her. So, she created a new group, reuniting the disbanded Teen Titans. And, as she explained to them, the evil that Zatanna felt is that Raven is Trigon's daughter; even when she completely refused him and tried as much as possible to prevent his arrival. Sounds fine... but she never told ''that'' to the League. After all, she never denied or concealed on purpose her relation with Trigon -- if it came as a reveal, it was because [[YouDidntAsk she usually says very little]].
** The Judas Contract would've been far more than a NearVillainVictory if Deathstroke had trapped and kidnapped Nightwing like all the other Titans rather than saving him for last and challenging him to a fist fight like a complete goon. Several characters talk about how unwise this was, but the Idiot Ball is still the Idiot Ball.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Starfire, on top of her having no nudity taboo and {{stripperific}} outfit, she learns languages through physical contact. Apparently any type of contact will do, but she ''deliberately'' chooses kissing as it's "more fun".
* InterspeciesRomance: Starfire and ComicBook/{{Robin}} I[=/=]ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} had this going on for quite a while. They not only became engaged, but were almost married over the course of "The New Teen Titans" -- they broke up when the wedding ceremony was attacked by Raven, currently experiencing DemonicPossession, and she killed the minister before he could officially marry them.

* JiveTurkey:
** Cyborg talked like a bit of Film/{{Shaft}}, and a bit of "normal educated human being". He spoke some words (like "Lissen/Listen") a bit funny for the most part.
** Before him was Mal Duncan.

* KudzuPlot: Boy, did the 90s lay it on ''thick'' with so many characters and plot threads being thrown in and focused on that it grew increasingly hard to keep track of them all. At any given time, there were more than half a dozen storyline going on at once.
** The infamous ''Titans Hunt'' arc started -- ''started'' -- with the Wildebeest Society kidnapping the superpowered Titans (but also going out of their way to do things like murder a bunch of only tangentially-related characters) and leaving a hodgepodge group of Nightwing and the group's relatives to come chase after them...
*** Because the Wildebeest Society's new leader is one of the Titans who has undergone a FaceHeelTurn, gone mad, and developed new superpowers along with it...
*** And then the Wildebeest society blew up Titans Tower, opening up a new plot about a an anti-superhero politician charging the Titans themselves for repairs...
*** And then they launch the kidnapped Titans into space, resulting in the group being left with a SoullessShell of Cyborg rebuilt with Soviet tech and thus under Red Star's supervision...
*** And they also recruit Pantha, one of the Society's {{Mutants}}, which are being created because the society needs the UltimateLifeForm to serve as a host for the [[DemonicPossession transference]], as other, weaker bodies degrade.
*** And THEN Waverider (a time-traveler) drops in [[ComicBook/Armageddon2001 hoping to find the real identity of Monarch]], a villain from the future, but before we can get to that...
*** OTHER time travelers (the Team Titans) have also come back to the past trying to kill Donna Troy to prevent another villain from the future from ever existing...
*** When that villain, Lord Chaos, follows them back in time in order to ensure he's born... and then kill Donna Troy himself.
*** Except before anyone can do any of that, Donna Troy, just returned from a crossover with Wonder Woman, gets literally abducted for the finale of the ''War of the Gods'' miniseries, a Wonder Woman-based CrisisCrossover.
** The "Titans Hunt" arc centered on the activities of the Wildebeest Society and TheManBehindTheMan, but once that was over, Lord Chaos and his mother's assassins took center stage with the "Total Chaos" arc, which bounced around between the ''New Titans'', ''Deathstroke'', and ''Team Titans'' books.
*** This featured the aftermath of Slade [[MakesSenseInContext being chemically tortured]]...
*** And introduced over half a dozen new characters, including a handful of street urchins, a whorehouse-spy complex run by Sweet Lili, a society of sewer dwelling mutants, and yet ''another'' assassin from the future.
** And once ''Total Chaos'' was over, subsequent plots included Roy Harper taking over the Titans at the behest of the government organization Checkmate...
** The arrival of the ''second'' Evil Raven[[note]]The first evil Raven from the Terror of Trigon was Raven's body under DemonicPossession, while the second is Raven's "soul" having been subjected to TheCorruption[[/note]] [[spoiler: following Raven's death during Titans Hunt]], who came to inject the souls of Trigon's hundred murdered children into the bodies of the Titans...
** And the abduction of Cyborg by the alien species called the Technis.

* LeaderWannabe: Damian Wayne declared himself leader when he briefly joined, but no one recognized him.
* LegacyCharacter: Three Robins, two Kid Flashes, two Wonder Girls, two Speedies, two Aquagirls.

* DisguisedHostageGambit: An issue of ''Teen Titans Spotlight'' has Two-Face kidnapping Cyborg's girlfriend Sarah in order to lure him into a trap. He tapes her mouth shut and dresses her up in a convincing Two-Face costume, hoping that Cyborg will accidently kill her in a fit of rage. Fortunately, Cyborg sees through the ruse at the last second.

* EmotionsVsStoicism: The chief motif of the Wolfman-Perez run, starting with Raven constantly trying to suppress her emotions in accordance with the teachings of Azarath, while characters like Starfire and, more dreadfully, Trigon revel in them; Dick's refusal to talk about his emotions made his emotional problems worse; the lizardlike, scientifically-minded Psions from the crossover with the Omega Men; the Brain laments how emotional his new Brotherhood of Evil are, ''etc.''

* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite her dislike of Rose Wilson, when Bombshell accuses Rose of being a traitor, working for Deathstroke, Cassandra defends her, believing after everything her father did to her, Rose would never work for him again.
* ExposedExtraterrestrials: According to Starfire, Tamaranians don't place much value in clothes (they see nothing inherently unchaste about nudity and they're pretty much {{Flying Brick}}s anyway). This is largely her justification for being both an InnocentFanserviceGirl and MsFanservice.

* FaceHeelTurn: Averted with Terra, who was really [[EvilAllAlong bad all along]], and acted like it. But other Titans have played this straight, in a trope that's used quite a lot for the series

* FingerLickingPoison: In "The Judas Contract", Deathstroke captures Gar 'Changeling' Logan by drugging the glue in the envelopes Gar is using to respond to his fan mail.
* FirstNameBasis: Initially, Raven did not call Robin and Kid Flash as such, and neither as "Dick" or "Wally". She called them "Richard" and "Wallace".
* FleetingDemographicRule: Raven becoming evil because of her demonic heritage and the team fighting a group of evil Titans were two plots commonly recycled.

* FrankensteinsMonster: Young Frankenstein, one of the recruits the team had gone through post-''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', was essentially a teenage Frankenstein monster.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: During Rose Wilson's time with the Teen Titans, her relationship with her team mates is strained. Rose has the most antagonistic relationship with Wonder Girl (Cassandra "Cassie" Sandsmark). Sadly, even when it appears that Rose is making peace with Wonder Girl, Cassandra revealed she still dislikes her and does not trust her. Another example is when Rose befriends another team mate like Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), only for Jaime to revealed (thankfully not to her) that he is afraid of her. The only friend she has on the team is Kid Devil / Red Devil (Eddie Bloomberg). It gets so bad she quits the team. When Rose considers coming back on the team, they vote on whether to let her back in, while letting Bombshell (Amy Sue Allen), who betrayed and tried to kill them, back on the team. Ironically, Bombshell framed Rose as the one who betrayed the Teen Titans. As Rose points out, it's telling that they let a former traitor back on the team, something even Bombshell acknowledges, pointing out that if they give her a chance, Rose deserves the same chance. After an altercation with Bombshell, staged to ensure her loyalty to the team, Rose leaves to find her own way in life.
** Danny Chase, an obnoxious telekinetic InsufferableGenius and ChildProdigy, was this during his status on the team. Despite being a hard worker and pulling his weight, he constantly disparaged the team for its emotional foibles and lack of cold professionalism. This reached a high point after he informed the team of the death of Jason Todd and callously disregarded the death. Chase' callous behavior combined with Dick Grayson's fears of another underaged child dying from supeheroics led to Grayson booting Chase from the team with very few objections from the rest of the team.

* BeautifulDreamer: There is one point in a run when Beast Boy resists the urge to wake Raven because of this. She admits that she liked it, but she's still not interested. [[SarcasmMode Yeah]], [[EveryoneCanSeeIt sure]].
* BigBad: Trigon the biggest and Baddest the Titans have ever faced and to a lesser extent Deathstroke who is Nightwing's ArchEnemy.
* BigBadWannabe: The H.I.V.E. had no revenge agenda against the Titans, they just attacked them to establish a reputation as an evil group. How did they do that? They hired Deathstroke, who did all the dirty work. The H.I.V.E. never successfully attacked the Titans themselves. Deathstroke finally [[ComicBook/TheJudasContract captured the Titans]] and sent them prisoners to the H.I.V.E. And with the Titans in their power, they just had an episode of BondVillainStupidity.

* BrotherSisterTeam: The villains Shimmer and Mammoth, of the Fearsome Five.

** Kori's second husband Ph'yzzon and nearly the entire Tamaranean race die in the prologue issue for ''ComicBook/FinalNight'' (July 1996) when their planet New Tamaran is annihilated. New Tamaran was basically founded in the final issue of ''The New Titans'' (February 1996).

* ComplexityAddiction: Dayton Industries developed a rare element, and the H.I.V.E. wanted it. Toyman prepared a very complex plan, killing members of Dayton's staff with toys, and then attacking the Titans when they begin to investigate (and, of course, they defeat him). Deathstroke had a simpler plan: set the building on fire, wait for everybody to escape, and then get inside and steal the thing. Where Toyman had an epic fail, Deathstroke won, and in just a single page.

%%* CousinOliver: Danny Chase.
* CrashingThroughTheHarem: In the first issue of ''Teen Titans Volume Two'', Cody sneaks into the Cheyenne Mountain base on a dare. Spotted by guards, he runs away and ends up running into a women's locker room, which is full of young women in various states of undress. He stops and stares at them, assuming that he has run onto a {{holodeck}}. One of the women then kicks him to the ground.

** Makes sense; if you're mute you figure out how to use, and exploit, body language.
** He didn't just depend on facial expressions and body language, though - he communicates through American Sign Language (every time Jericho is shown using sign language, when drawn by George Perez, you can be completely sure that the [[ShownTheirWork sign is accurate]]). Besides, when he uses his power and gets inside someone else' body, he ''can'' talk through that body.
%%* TheCutie: Miss Martian, who invokes this to fit in better.
* DarkActionGirl: Rose Wilson became this when she took on the Ravager name. Later, former traitor Bombshell would fill this spot on the team.

** Geoff Johns' run on ''Teen Titans'' Volume 3 did ''not'' react well to ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' -- the team collapses and goes through over twenty members, and by the time Cyborg comes out of his coma, the "Titans" amount to a darker Tim, Rose Wilson, and Kid Devil.
** This happened to Kid Devil when he joined the series. He was originally a much goofier sidekick that used high tech devil pajamas and originated from the Blue Devil series, known for its very fun tone. Between then and his time as a Titan, he made a deal with Neron to become a real devil, and a lot of angst came with it when things didn't turn out they way he liked. It is slightly averted in his case, as Eddie's personality didn't change much, just his appearance and situation.

%%* DealWithTheDevil: Kid Devil. Beast Boy makes a metaphorical one with the Brain in order to save his friends from Zahl
* DeathByOriginStory
** Grant Wilson, the "Destroyer". He became a bounty hunter, died, and his father Slade Wilson inherited his contract with H.I.V.E. to destroy the Titans.
** Cyborg's mother, Elinore, in the same incident that destroyed half of his body and forced his father to turn him into a cyborg. It was the source of the initial tension between Victor and Silas Stone.
** The first mystery parents of Donna Troy, who died in an apartment on fire when she was just a baby. [[ComicBook/WhoIsDonnaTroy If those were her parents]] [[CanonDiscontinuity And if they existed at all]]. It's... [[ContinuitySnarl complicated]].

* DeathOfTheHypotenuse: Starfire fell in love with Dick Grayson as soon as she came to Earth, but he told her that they were JustFriends. So, she fell in love with some other guy instead. This guy was actually instructed by the H.I.V.E. to seduce her and prey on the Titan's secrets, but he fell InLoveWithTheMark, and tried to cut ties with H.I.V.E. and have a real romance. The H.I.V.E. agent killed him. Starfire never knew the truth about him, she thought that he was killed just for being her boyfriend.
* DecoyProtagonist: When we first meet Grant Wilson and Deathstroke, everything pointed that Grant would be the arch villain of the Titans. He has some basic backstory, a reason to hate the titans (even if a petty one), and his costume was cooler. Deathstroke did not seem to have anything of that, and could be seen as a mere random villain used as a template by the H.I.V.E. to give powers to Grant. Then, the issue ends... and Grant lies dead, Deathstroke rises as the new arch enemy of the Titans, and we even discover some hidden info about him that gaves a new light to the re-read of the story (namely, that he was Grant's father).
* DemotedToExtra:
** The original Titans West from the '70s vanished when it came time for the New Teen Titans series, due to Marv Wolfman considering all of the characters (except Lilith and Beast Boy/Changeling) to be lame. Bumblebee and Mal Duncan (who were part of the original East Coast team towards the end of the '70s) were also PutOnABus, and Duela Dent showed up once as a middle-aged, overweight phony who revealed that she had lied about her origin of being Two-Face's daughter. After the Crisis, Wolfman seized the opportunity to retcon Bumblebee and Mal (now called "Herald") as having been part of Titans West, and attempted to erase Duela from continuity completely. Caveman G'narrk (who died in a BusCrash Pre-Crisis) became a case of DeathByOriginStory, while Bat-Girl (retconned to Flamebird) and Golden Eagle became even more shallow "joke" characters stuck in a rut of CantCatchUp.
** The earlier Titans all became demoted when it was time for Dan Jurgens' version of the Titans, partly due to ExecutiveMeddling. Jurgens had originally planned to use Nightwing and the JSA member Wildcat as mentors for the team, but had to make do with using the de-aged Ray Palmer instead.
** Characters like the second ComicBook/WonderGirl suffered this in the change from ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' to the third volume of ''Teen Titans'', as Geoff Johns decided to pay more attention to ComicBook/{{Robin}} and ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, effectively making the rest of the cast into wallpaper. After OYL, the focus then became Robin and Wonder Girl, which continued somewhat into Sean [=McKeever=]'s run.

** There had been some broad hints in Geoff Johns' run prior to ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' that the new Aquagirl would be joining the team, with her expressing an interest in the Titans and showing up as Aquawoman in ''Titans of Tomorrow''. Plans changed at some point, so she ended up joining and quitting offscreen during the "One Year Later" TimeSkip. She finally joined the Titans for real during Sean [=McKeever=]'s run, long after Johns had left the book.
** Likewise, the ''Son of Vulcan'' mini-series ended with the title character going to San Francisco and introducing himself to Beast Boy. This was obviously supposed to set up a plot about Vulcan becoming a member of the Teen Titans, but this never happened.
** The "Origins & Omens" back-up story foreshadowed a number of events which were supposed to affect the team, such as ComicBook/{{Static}} joining, [[ComicBook/TheFlash Kid Flash]] returning to life and rejoining the team, Kid Devil dying (in a completely different manner than the way he ''actually'' ended up dying), ComicBook/BlueBeetle hooking up with ComicBook/WonderGirl, and Sun Girl becoming pregnant with Inertia's baby. Aside from Static becoming a Titan, all of these were ignored when writer Sean [=McKeever=] was fired.
** [=McKeever=] had notably planned to resurrect Kid Devil and restore his powers. After ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' temporarily established that "dead means dead" in Franchise/TheDCU, this plot was dropped as well.
** The same thing happened to J.T. Krul during his run. His first issue showed glimpses into the future which revealed that Aqualad [[CanonImmigrant from]] ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' would be joining, and that the Teen Titans would end up involved in a crossover with ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}'s team of AntiHero Titans. ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' rendered all of this moot.
** Felicia D. Henderson's final two arcs were basically an extended [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot Backdoor Pilot]] for a new ''Static Shock'' ongoing. The new series was supposed to have been based around the hook of Virgil trying to get his powers back, but the book ended up being delayed and eventually canceled entirely due to the New 52 ContinuityReboot. A new ''Static Shock'' book did launch with the New 52, but it had a different creative team and was completely unrelated to Henderson's proposed series.
** Years prior to this, there was the ill-fated Titans L.A. spin-off that was planned. The group was first hinted at in the ''Beast Boy'' mini-series, the seeds were planted in a ''Titans Annual'', and the team finally assembled in the ''Titans Secret Files'' one-shot only to... never appear again. ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} later confirmed that the team had disbanded with a HandWave line of dialogue. Then it's revealed that Terra II was apparently the ''real'' Terra all along. Terra II fell into obscurity before this could go anywhere, and ended up being killed off the next time she made a significant appearance. The whole reveal was later {{retcon}}ned itself, as it turned out Terra II was indeed an impostor, albeit one with IdentityAmnesia. Although, this explanation in turn is similar to Marv Wolfman's original intent for the character, before the later ''New Titans'' editor (Pat Garrahy) had mandated a story to imply the two Terras were the same (which Geoff Johns and Ben Raab intended to expand upon with their reveal).
** At one point, ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} was shown taking in Poprocket, a homeless teen metahuman. It was stated that he had plans for the girl, but she soon disappeared without explanation. Presumably, they were setting up Poprocket to be part of Deathstroke's AntiHero team of ''Titans'', but for whatever reason she ended up not appearing in that book.

* AccuserOfTheBrethren: Cassandra has a very antagonistic relationship with Rose Wilson/Ravager. Cassandra was also the one to think the worst of Rose Wilson, believe that she does not belong on the team and at times fight with her. Even when it looks like she is making peace with Rose, she reveals that she still dislikes her and considers her a one-eyed sociopath, stating that she is a murderer who is homicidal and warped beyond words and that she both cannot be helped and does not want to be helped.
* AdvertisedExtra: At the height of the popularity of ''ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison'', Creator/DCComics announced that [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} Damian Wayne]] would be joining the cast of ''Teen Titans''. His arrival was heavily promoted and multiple variant covers were created for the issue where he joins, but he was only with the team for a grand total of four issues before being PutOnABus.
* AfraidOfDoctors: In Creator/GeoffJohns' run, Beast Boy has a phobia of doctors, due to being experimented on as a kid, and in particular he has a special [[AfraidOfNeedles hatred for needles.]] Raven speculates that Superboy has a fear of doctors for the same reason when he balks at his DNA being tested, as she doesn't know about his anxieties regarding the genetics he inherited from Lex Luthor.
* AfraidOfNeedles: Beast Boy has this problem. Thankfully, his powers give him universal immunity, but that doesn't stop the writers from forcing him to take shots anyway.

* AllMenArePerverts: Kid Flash (Bart Allen) put some ''serious'' effort into seeing his teammates Starfire and Raven naked. Starfire just let him see, and commented that it was the longest she'd ever seen him stand still. Raven managed to retain her dignity.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After Mia Dearden reveals to the team her DarkAndTroubledPast, where she contracted HIV from her days as a teenage prostitute, the others start telling of their own secret worries; Beast Boy is worried his "condition" could infect others and eventually turn him into a monster. Raven can't help but feed on emotions whilst everyone else sleeps. And Cassie is scared that Ares may be turning her into a weapon of war... then Bart comes in with his own secret:
-->'''Kid Flash''': I gotta secret, too. I ran out of clean underwear yesterday, so I stole some of Beast Boy's.
-->'''Beast Boy''': You ''what''?!
* AscendedFanboy:
** Kid Devil once he became a Titan.
** Static was also a comic book fanboy prior to becoming a superhero. When Miss Martian first met Static and invited him to Titans Tower, he was awestruck and claimed to be a "big fan" of the team.

* AuthorOnBoard:
** The final arc of ''The Titans'' (1999 -- 2003), "Murder by Consensus", involves a tinfoil-hatted Kory launching a campaign against "The Consensus", an alien empire that initiated its invasions by brainwashing the masses with broadcast media, which appeals to people mostly through their desire to belong to the majority position. Jesse Quick rather gives it away when she declares the world has turned into "bad talk radio".
** In ''Teen Titans Volume 3'', "When Amazons Attack" features the American government dragging women -- and only women -- into internment camps for the "crime" of associating with Amazons... and military higher-ups at the camp decide this includes Wonder Girl (Cassie) and Supergirl, [[RageBreakingPoint which leads both girls to launch an attack on the camp]]. The other Titans pick a fight with the girls to draw their attention away from the soldiers, which leads to an escalating fight that doesn't end until Cassie throws Tim through a fence and goes to talk to her mom, [[AnAesop who tells her that fighting will only make things worse]]. The Titans offer to help Cassie, only for her to turn her back on them, unimpressed with how they've been "helping" her, and [[KickTheDog destroy the team's jet on her way out with Supergirl]], leaving them to be [[UngratefulBastard arrested by the military for the crime of associating with known criminals]]. Ravager directly compares the internment to the Japanese-American internment in WWII.

* BackForTheFinale: The final issue of ''Teen Titans'' vol. 3 (fittingly enough, issue #100) has a large number of former Titans showing up for the GrandFinale battle against Superboy-Prime. A number of characters who'd been written out of the book such as Blue Beetle, Miss Martian, Aquagirl, Bombshell and Damian Wayne were among those who showed up for the battle.
* BadFuture: ''ComicBook/TeenTitans2003'' has the "Titans Tomorrow" arc, in which the future Titans themselves are split into totalitarian rulers and freedom fighters. This same Bad Future is revisited after the events of ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', when it turns out the timeline lacks OntologicalInertia, so all the future Titans (and ''then'' some) arrive in the past in order to secure their timeline from [[ForWantOfANail wanting any further nails]].

** Each Robin and Speedy to join the team falls under this.

* BaldOfEvil: Superboy during the "Insiders" arc (a crossover with The Outsiders), in which a TriggerPhrase activates his DeepCoverAgent programming. The first thing he does is to shave his head completely bald. The second, hammering his new resemblance to Lex Luthor home, is to carve a giant L in his shirt.
* BaitTheDog: Cassie Sandsmark often antagonized her teammate Rose Wilson/Ravager because of her past working with her father as a supervillain despite being brainwashed and drugged. Cassie would always say Rose does not belong on the team and doesn't trust her, and Rose would antagonize her for judging her for her past. There was a moment where the two of them appeared to make peace with each other when Rose was accused of betraying the team to work with her father. Cassie defended her, believing that after everything her father had done to her, Rose did not appreciate this gesture because of their previous interactions. Rose even considered leaving the team before the betrayer was revealed. But later, when Rose is battling her father's supervillain team, Cassie saves her. Rose is surprised, but Cassie smiles and says that they are family. Unlike before, Rose did appreciate what Cassie did for her. In a later issue, Rose remarked that she was happy that Cassie was treating her nicely. It was implied that the two young women were burying the hatchet and becoming friends. But then, when one of their teammates goes missing, and Robin tells Cassie this, and that he believes that Rose is concerned, Cassie tells Robin that she does not believe that, saying that Rose does not care about anyone but herself, calls her a one-eyed sociopath, stating that Rosa cannot be help nor does not want to be help, which means that her previous kindness towards Rose was likely fake. The two of them continue to antagonize the relationship throughout the series, with Rosa quitting the team twice because of Cassie, and Cassie ironically puts her back on the team, not because she believes in Rose, she let her back on the team because she needs a more able-bodied teammate. It appears that even when Cassie genuinely tries to be nice to Rose, her hatred of Rose is too strong for her kindness to last.
