[[AlienPrincess Princesses Koriand'r and Komand'r of planet Tamaran]] were captured by the Psions, who experimented on the sisters and gave them the ability to shoot solar blasts. Koriand'r escaped her jailers and reached Earth, where she joined the ComicBook/TeenTitans, then formed by ComicBook/{{Robin}} (Dick Grayson), Changeling (Garfield Logan), ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} (Victor Stone), Kid Flash (ComicBook/WallyWest), ComicBook/{{Raven}}, and ComicBook/WonderGirl (Donna Troy).

Princesses Koriand'r and Komand'r of planet Tamaran were captured by the Psions, who experimented on the sisters and gave them the ability to shoot solar blasts. Koriand'r escaped her jailers and reached Earth, where she joined the ComicBook/TeenTitans, then formed by ComicBook/{{Robin}} (Dick Grayson), Changeling (Garfield Logan), ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} (Victor Stone), Kid Flash (ComicBook/WallyWest), ComicBook/{{Raven}}, and ComicBook/WonderGirl (Donna Troy).

Out of comics, her more prominent appearances include the WesternAnimation/TeenTitans series and its follow-up/spinoff ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''. In both shows, she is voiced by Creator/HyndenWalch.

While a member of the Teen Titans, Koriand'r was frequently romantically involved with ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} (Dick Grayson). She nearly married him, but their wedding was interrupted by Raven (who was evil at the time). Raven murdered the priest before he could pronounce Dick and Koriand'r husband and wife. The relationship was already on unsteady ground, with Koriand'r fearing that Dick was rushing into marriage and also concerned about the anti-alien sentiments that sprang up in response to the news of the impending nuptials.

In the ComicBook/New52 reboot, she joined ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws for a time. But as of 2015, she has a solo series that has her living in Key West.

!! Tropes:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Character Tropes]]
* 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 ''ComicBook/TinyTitans'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' depictions show her with straight hair; though they've both temporarily been shown with the original style as a MythologyGag.
* AbsoluteCleavage: Most versions of her costume are sling swimsuits with boots.
%%* ActionGirl: And ''a royal one'' to boot.
* AdaptationalModesty: She is one of the more famous {{Stripperiffic}} comic book characters because her costumes often come down to being just strategically placed straps. ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' gave her a skirt and top that only [[BareYourMidriff reveals her stomach]]. This look influenced her New 52 comic redesign and her depiction in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans''.
* AnimeHair: Starfire's hair goes down past her waist and merges with the stream of energy left behind when she flies.
* ArchEnemy: Her older sister Blackfire aka Komand'r, though not so much now in the New 52.
* ArrangedMarriage: She went through two separate ones, both with Tamaranean males [[CartwrightCurse who died afterwards]].
** The first one was with Prince Karras, in order to secure an political alliance which caused no small amount of angst for her due to being in love with Dick at the time and Karras also being in love with someone else too. This one also went through some bumpy retcons after Koriand'r returned to earth and it was eventually "[[{{Revision}} explained]]" that her marriage with Karras was only a glorified peace treaty, not an exchange of full matrimonial vows... probably because of increasing discontent with the fact that her continuing pursuit of a relationship with Dick Grayson was essentially adultery.
** The second one was with General Phy'zzon around the time Tamaran was destroyed and [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage it worked a little better than the last one]].
* BareYourMidriff: Most of her outfit with really few exceptions.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's very nice, but when she gets pissed...'''''look out'''''.
* BloodKnight: In her original appearances she's actually quite fierce and vicious, the most likely of the team to resort to excessive force in battle, considering she was raised in a warrior culture.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's a superhumanly strong alien and also very busty.
* BreakTheCutie: In her backstory, she went through this when she was made a slave to the Gordanians. This includes being violently beaten and raped for years due to being a female prisoner.
* 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. She's been toned down from this in later years.
* CainAndAbel: With her sister Komand'r. Their rivalry was caused due to Komand'r being treated like a monster for something she had not done and being jealous of her younger sister being given her birthright, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil leading to her betraying her own people to their Citadel enemies]] and making Koriand'r (one of the few who actually loved her) her slave. She humiliated, tortured and tried everything in her power to destroy her sister, whose hatred became mutual and it was considered so intense that [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the animated version]] toned it down considerably.
** There seems to be general flip flop on the level of hatred between the sisters in modern stories, in some stories Starfire holds no hate for her sister, in others she only hates what Blackfire has become and holds out hope she can change. Blackfire too, can be shown to either hate her sister with all her being, or to not really hate her at all but only see her as a necessary sacrifice.
** This is averted in Comicbook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws and the solo series. Komand'r genuinely loves her sister, has nothing to do with the Gordanian invasion that leaves Komand'r as the planet's queen, and only reluctantly signs away her sister to save the rest of the planet.
* 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]].
* 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).
** She was widowed twice, both times with Tamaranean men, the prince of a different kingdom and a military general, who died [[HeroicSacrifice heroically]]. The second only managed to be alive for a scant few months, from the GainaxEnding of ''New Titans'' to the prolog of ''Comicbook/FinalNight''.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Granted, the color of the skin tends to be dark orange. But she still has the appropriate energetic, enthusiastic personality.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Whether or not she has Flaming Hair.
** Also what color her [[HandBlast starbolts]] are.
** Also whether or not she has pupils.
** Her skin tends to range from golden to orange to just a really deep but ordinary sunkissed tan.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Some writers portray her as energetic NiceGirl filled with ''joie de vivre'', while others portray her as a grim and even manipulative ProudWarriorRaceGuy.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Inverted with Blackfire, her archnemesis and EvilTwin. Originally the two were near identical save for Blackfire's outfit and sharper, nastier looks, but following [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the seminal cartoon]], Blackfire's hair has darkened accordingly and the differences between them magnified.
* DudeMagnet: She is a real head-turner. Case in point, when she visits the Gotham City Police Department in ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', every man stares at her slack-jawed and so do [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer a few women]].
** Lampshaded by Blackfire in ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders The Outsiders]]'':
-->'''Blackfire''': ''Ha! I should have expected one like you. My sweet sister has a talent for attracting devoted protectors... Usually '''males. Always''' foolish.''
* EthicalSlut: What she was supposed to come off as in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' (New 52), 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.[[note]]Jason saying that she doesn't really "see" humans, identifying more by scent, and has a "very short attention span" means that, basically, she can't really tell humans apart, so her decision to sleep with someone is less about seeing something about them worth getting intimate over, and more "I'm horny and you're a penis, let's go." Paradoxically, this comes off less like her being a gender-flipped "love 'em and leave 'em" type and more like a juvenile sex fantasy, a living blow-up doll who's function is to get horny and have sex with whoever happens to be present.[[/note]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: More than few girls can be seen checking her out with the men when she enters a room.
* ExposedExtraterrestrials: Her people doesn't put place much value into clothes as they see nothing inherently unchaste about nudity and since they are more durable and tougher than humans, they don't have problems with it being impractical either. In fact, they ''require'' exposure to ultraviolet radiation in order to fuel their powers.
* FallenPrincess: Starfire was a member of Tamranian royal family before the Citadel took over her planet with the aid of [[CainAndAbel her jealous sister, Komand'r]].
* FanserviceModel: For a time, Starfire had a successful career as a fashion model. She appears on a shoot in one of the eighties comics modelling a WritingAroundTrademarks-version of Guess Jeans. It involves her wearing a pair of the aforementioned jeans and nothing else, and a ''lot'' of sexy ToplessnessFromTheBack.
* FieryRedhead: She is fierce in combat, and not only is she a redhead, but also her hairstyle makes it look like flames, which causes a literal version of the trope.
* FishOutOfWater: Starfire is depicted as being unfamiliar with human customs and phrases is some of her incarnations, leading to some misunderstandings and awkwardness. This characterization is played straight in her solo series.
* FlamingHair: She is occasionally drawn with her hair dissolving into fire.
* 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 Brick and Firepower.
** {{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 time.
* GodivaHair: Starfire uses this every so often, particularly when Dick Grayson discovers her in the shower.
* GoodIsNotSoft: See BruiserWithASoftCenter.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She's a beautiful alien princess who tends to wear purple outfits.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: A hot alien babe with orange skin.
* HandBlast: Her main power and attack.
* HeadTurningBeauty: 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.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Donna Troy.
* HumanAliens: Tamaraneans are indistinguishable from humans, save the solid green eyes and spray-tan color skin, yet are specifically stated to taxonomically be felines rather than apes.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Starfire is one of the most popular Titans but didn't join the team until its third incarnation in the 1980s.
* InhumanEyeConcealers: During the time that she was living with Animal Man as a live-in babysitter for his kids, Starfire wore green-tinted sunglasses in order to hide her solid-green glowing eyes.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: In her earlier appearances Starfire would often appear with CensorSteam nudity, due to both her time as a slave and her society's lack of nudity hangups. She still likes to shuck the clothing, but now she does it in (what is usually) private.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Dick Grayson, as well as a few other Earth men. She was the first of Dick's girlfriends that he was quite blatantly implied to have had sex with, they've been engaged at least once, and they were even almost married once — as in, the only reason they aren't husband and wife is because fellow Titan Raven attacked the ceremony and killed the minister before he could complete it. Though they are drifted apart in modern continuity, both still remember and occasionally flirt with each other over their former connection.
* 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.
* LeotardOfPower: When her costume isn't a ChainmailBikini, anyway. In ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'' she's mistaken for a stripper after showing up on Animal Man's doorstep.
* LiteralMinded: Often takes expressions and sayings as their literal interpretation.
* MadeASlave: Part of her backstory in ComicBook/TeenTitans. Her evil sister betrayed their planet Tamaran, and helped hostile aliens conquer it, and as part of the terms of their defeat, the Tamaraneans were required to surrender Starfire, their princess, into slavery.
* MagicKiss: Starfire can learn any person's language with a touch, but she chooses to do it with a kiss because it's more fun that way. Humorously lampshaded way back in the X-Men / Teen Titans crossover when she kissed Colossus after hearing him say something in Russian and realizing it was a new language. Nightcrawler, upon observing this, asked "Fraulein, sprechen sie Deustsch?"(Young lady, do you speak German?)
* MsFanservice: She is a hot alien babe with orange skin, who learned languages by kissing people. Kory is regarded as extremely physically attractive even by the standards of the superhero community. Her general lack of modesty is often used for copious {{Fanservice}} and her skimpy hero outfit leaves little to the imagination. Even in [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans certain]] [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans adaptations]] where AdaptationalModesty is in effect, she still provides plenty of fanservice.
* MonochromaticEyes: Her eyes are drawn green and blank, or green in the sclera, irises or pupils. She's given the irises and pupils in her solo series.
* MostCommonSuperPower: Starfire has always been drawn to be bustier than all her fellow female teammates. It was one of the reason Terra I called her "balloon bod" to insult her. Some artists have drawn her to have the third largest breasts in DC, behind only the [[Franchise/WonderWoman second]] and [[ComicBook/PowerGirl first]].
* NiceGirl: She's always been depicted as this, being very empathetic and considerate of others before herself.
* OnlyOneName: She's just Koriand'r. It's a pattern in her homeworld, Tamaran. Averted when she uses her civilian alias, [[SueDonym Kory Anders]].
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Dick Grayson and the other Titans (minus Beast Boy) were saying this to Starfire a LOT during the Wolfman-Perez run in Teen Titans.
* {{Polyamory}}: Only in the ComicBook/New52 though.
* PowerOfTheSun: Starfire's alien physiology constantly absorbs ultraviolet radiation and converts it to energy. Specifically the ultraviolet rays.
* PrincessProtagonist: Starfire is originally known as Koriand'r, a princess of the fictional planet Tamaran in Vega system. After some attempts to be murdered by her older sister, she escaped to Earth and eventually met and joined the ComicBook/TeenTitans being one of their most famous and powerful historical members, and having enough charisma to get her own titles.
* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: As part of a coming-of-age ritual, Koriand'r was trained in combat by the revered Warriors of Okaara when she was a child.
* PunnyName: Koriand'r is a homonym for Coriander, a spice. Meanwhile, her sister's name is a little more martial (Commander).
* 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 [[TraumaButton trigger]] for her.
* RapunzelHair: When in flight in her original appearances, her hair seemed to be over twenty feet long.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Being the affectionate type most of her female friendships are like this, but special mention goes to Raven. The two are constantly shown to have an incredibly deep friendship, having even had a rather infamous kiss, and Starfire for a time housed what would be considered Raven's "good" soul. In her solo series Starfire and her new friend Stella Gomez have this type of relationship. Starfire's relationship with Donna Troy also qualifies, especially when they were written by Marv Wolfman.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is a princess, though whether or not she counts as "acting" monarchy is debatable since she's in willing exile.
* SecretPublicIdentity: Starfire's identity is public knowledge, although she has taken on "[[StevenUlyssesPerhero Kory Anders]]" as a legal name.
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Inverted; Starfire's costume is a skimpy swimsuit and she is a genuinely heroic character, while her evil sister Blackfire wears a full bodysuit.
** Played in the New 52. The re-appearance of Blackfire also has her [[http://www.comicvine.com/blackfire/29-12502/all-images/108-206565/komand_r/105-2478245/ wearing less clothes]] compare to her pre-52 days. Funny enough, Starfire was wearing a [[http://www.comicvine.com/blackfire/29-12502/all-images/108-206565/2456769-rhato_13/105-2456770/ bodysuit that cover her entire body]] sans her face when they face off.
* SexSlave: Was made into this after her sister, Blackfire gave her to the Citadel as part of their agreement for helping Blackfire conquer their home planet. Luckily Starfire doesn't dwell on this and is incredibly well-adjusted despite it. In fact she really enjoys sex now that she can choose her partners.
* SexyCatPerson: Downplayed - she is a very sexy woman whose species evolved from cat-like creatures, but she shows little in the way of feline characteristics in appearance or personality and the "evolved from cats" thing isn't mentioned very often.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ever since her debut in the 80s, her civilian nickname was spelled "Kory"; the New 52 reboot spelled it "Kori", continuing into her solo series. It didn't stick; from Rebirth on, it's Kory again.
* StarcrossedLovers: ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} will always be the love of her life, but the ever cruel fate always keeps them from being together. There will always be a place for him in her heart.
* StatuesqueStunner: Kory is drawn as especially tall at 1,93 m (6'4"), with EightiesHair and heels often adding even more inches to that.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Most versions of her costume are swimsuits with boots. Starfire's already-revealing costume goes UpToEleven in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws''. She now effectively has only a pair of pasties covering her nipples, and the bikini she wears late in the first issue actually manages to be ''more'' modest than her default costume. WordOfGod also said that they intended for the bikini scene to have her swimsuit be semi-transparent until DC issued an ExecutiveVeto on it. Justified as she is superhumanly tough, her powers are fueled by absorbing UV radiation through her skin, and she is comfortable showing off her body due to Tamaranean culture having no moral taboos about nudity and her career on Earth as a model.
* SuperStrength: Slighty stronger than Wonder Girl (Donna Troy). She can lift 100 tonnes without struggling.
* StrongAndSkilled: She's been trained in combat by war lords since she was a child.
* TamerAndChaster: Starfire has always been a {{stripperific}} MsFanservice but the ''ComicBook/New52'' reboot made her [[HotterAndSexier more-so than before]]. This was met with heavy criticism, resulting in her eventual redesign to be more like her [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans cartoon counterpart]]. Her costume still shows skin but she is portrayed in a tamer manner.
* 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.
* 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 with 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.
* TranslatorMicrobes: Tamaraneans can learn any language from physical contact, she generally enjoys doing it by kissing.
* TraumaButton:
** Reminding her of her [[RapeAsBackstory history]] as a SexSlave will send her into a violent rage.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She is very protective of the people she cares about, but specially so for her significant others. When her first human boyfriend Franklin Candrall was murdered by a H.I.V.E. agent, she flew into such UnstoppableRage she would have killed him if Donna Troy had not stepped in the way. To say nothing how she feels about Dick Grayson being in danger. On learning that he was shot in the head by KGBeast, her eyes immediately blaze as she demands ''"Where is he?"''

[[folder: Solo Series]]
Despite having lived on Earth for a little while now, Koriand'r, also known as Starfire, realizes she doesn't actually know much about Earth or its inhabitants. So after a little advice from Superman, Kori decides to move to Key West, Florida. With the help of Police Chief Stella Gomez, her brother Sol, and various locales Kori begins her peaceful learning adventure, but trouble is never far away. Sadly ended after 12 issues, but Starfire as part of ComicBook/DCRebirth will be joining the ComicBook/TeenTitans again.

** Sol Gomez is still in a deep HeroicBSOD two years after the tragic death of his girlfriend, Maria.
* TheEmpath: Starfire frequently states that she can sense the feelings of others. Becomes a plot point when she meets Soren Johnson, it also allows her to bond with Beth the dolphin.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: While walking around town several girls can be seen admiring Kori, and when she goes to a bar at least two girls are shown to be among many of the patrons who buy her drinks.
** She even has this effect on straight women.
--> '''Rave''': Well [[ShesGotLegs that]] [[BoobsOfSteel body]] doesn't hurt either, I'd switch sides for a shot at that. Oh, [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud did I just say that out loud?]]
* FightMagnet: Kori, Stella, and [[spoiler:Atlee]] spend their time traveling to Strata discussing the fact that trouble always manages to find them.
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:Dick Grayson comes to Keywest in issue 7 and leaves halfway into issue 8.]]

When Kragg tells them to piss off, they reveal they have kidnapped his wife and child. Kragg responds by blowing up one of their ships despite having no clue which ship his wife was on, much to the Citadel's shock and horror. Then while he agrees to kill Starfire in exchange for his family, he warns the Citadel that if they bring any harm to them he'll slowly torture them all until they beg for death.
* LiteralMinded: Whenever someone uses an idiom, Kori tends to think of it in the literal sense, including a little ImagineSpot of she thinks they mean (for example, picturing Stella with food on her head when Stella tells Kori to have a meal "on me").
* MoreThanMindControl: In issue #10 of her 2015 series, supporting characters Sol and Rave encounter Starfire's pet Syl'khee and accidentally wind up caught in its bizarre hypnosis ray. Sol and Rave become uncontrollably turned on by each other and begin kissing on the spot. The two have different reactions. Sol is very upset and off-put by what happened and says he doesn't like feeling controlled. Rave, by contrast, says that she felt like all of her fears and inhibitions were gone, and that for a moment she felt free to do anything she wanted. Rave is a bit offended that Sol saw kissing her as such a harsh experience, and only agrees to [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain forget the whole thing]] if ''he'' wants it that way.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Kori sees no problem in getting intimately close with everyone. Same goes for [[spoiler:Atlee.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Starfire follows this logic when fighting enemies and she poignantly explained this as she incinerated a group of monsters attacking Atlee's home.
* QuestionableConsent: Brought up in issue #10 of her 2015 series. After Syl'khee accidentally hypnotizes Rave and Sol to lose their inhibitions, the two of them make out, but Sol afterwards sees the incident as a violation of his consent.

* TheReveal: Starfire isn't the only hero in Keywest looking to learn more about humanity.
* ShowerScene: In the first issue she takes a shower in a clawfoot bathtub and... comes out with only a towel on her head. Fortunately an embarrassed Boone [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn covers her with another towel]].
[[/folder]]
-----

* StarcrossedLovers: ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} will always be the love of her life, but the ever cruel fate always keeps them from being together. Even after he had moved on with many other women, there will always be a place for him in her heart.
* StatuesqueStunner: Kory is drawn as especially tall at 1,93 m (6'4"). With EightiesHair and heels often adding even more inches to that.

** She 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 times behind her, with varying success.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She is very protective of the people she cares about, but specially so for her significant others. When her first human boyfriend Franklin Candrall was murdered by a H.I.V.E. agent, she flew into such UnstoppableRage she would have killed him if Donna Troy had not stepped in the way. To say nothing how she feels about Dick Grayson being in danger.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: {{Justified}} because Tamaraneans can learn any language from physical contact, she generally enjoys doing it by kissing.

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

* EthicalHedonist: Starfire is presented as this in her story. She tries to save people from dangers in her immediate area, but is not particularly interested in heroism and seems to only be concerned with having a good time with her friends and lovers.

* EthicalSlut: What she was supposed to come off as in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' (New 52), 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.[[note]]Jason saying that she doesn't really "see" humans, identifying more by scent, and has a "very short attention span" means that, basically, she can't really tell humans apart, so her decision to sleep with someone is less about seeing something about them worth getting intimate over, and more "I'm horny and you're a penis, let's go." Paradoxically, this comes off less like her being a gender-flipped "love 'em and leave 'em" type and more like a juvenile sex fantasy, a living blow-up doll who's function is to get horny and have sex with whoever happens to be present.[[/note]] Her own series goes back to having it as an extension of her generally loving and caring personality.

* {{Polyamory}}: Only in the ComicBook/New52 though. It's heavily implied that this is the norm for relationships on Tamaran. Starfire herself seems to find the thought of being with only one person quaint at best and she regularly makes out and offers coitus with multiple people, sometimes in the same day.

* AdaptationalNameChange: As noted under "AdaptationSpeciesChange", Silkie's name was modified to "Syl'Khee" to reflect the change to an alien creature.

Princesses Koriand'r and Komand'r of planet Tamaran were captured by the Psions, who experimented on the sisters and gave them the ability to shoot solar blasts. Koriand'r escaped her jailers and reached Earth, where she joined the ComicBook/TeenTitans, then formed by ComicBook/{{Robin}} (Dick Grayson), Changeling (Garfield Logan), ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} (Victor Stone), ComicBook/KidFlash (ComicBook/WallyWest), ComicBook/{{Raven}}, and ComicBook/WonderGirl (Donna Troy).

Princesses Koriand'r and Komand'r of planet Tamaran were captured by the Psions, who experimented on the sisters and gave them the ability to shoot solar blasts. Koriand'r escaped her jailers and reached Earth, where she joined the Franchise/TeenTitans, then formed by Robin (Dick Grayson), Changeling (Garfield Logan), Cyborg (Victor Stone), Kid Flash (Wally West), Raven, and Wonder Girl (Donna Troy).

While a member of the Teen Titans, Koriand'r was frequently romantically involved with Nightwing (Dick Grayson). She nearly married him, but their wedding was interrupted by Raven (who was evil at the time). Raven murdered the priest before he could pronounce Dick and Koriand'r husband and wife. The relationship was already on unsteady ground, with Koriand'r fearing that Dick was rushing into marriage and also concerned about the anti-alien sentiments that sprang up in response to the news of the impending nuptials.

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

* MadeASlave: Part of her backstory in ComicBook/TeenTitans. Her evil sister betrayed their planet Tamaran, and helped hostile aliens conquer it, and as part of the terms of their defeat, the Tamaranians were required to surrender Starfire, their princess, into slavery.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: CanonImmigrant Silkie was reimagined from a mutated silkworm to an native Tamaranian creature named "Syl'Khee".

* CanonImmigrant: Silkie makes his comic debut. Though with a new name, Syl'Khee, and Origin, a type of rare, extremely intelligent animal from Tamaran called a Khee. They sometimes choose a special Tamaranian to bond with.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Inverted with Blackfire, her archnemesis and EvilTwin. Originally the two were near identical save for Blackfire's outfit and nastier looks

* 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]].

* BiTheWay: When Choor suggests a foursome between himself, Stella, Kori, and [[spoiler:Atlee. Atlee]] says "Sure, why not." Kori is a little more apprehensive because Stella was passed out from drinking at the time.

* FanserviceModel: For a time, Starfire had a successful career as a fashion model. Considering her sensuous culture and all the times she appeared naked in OFFICIAL stories, she was probably modelling swimsuits, bikinis and lingerie.
