* BizarreAlienBiology: Tamaraneans go through a puberty stage called "the Transformation". The "transformation" that Starfire mentions goes through is basically the Tamaranean-equivalent to puberty in humans, and apparently, the transformation is different for every Tamaranean alien--for example, Starfire claims that Blackfire only when her sister, Blackfire, went through her transformation, she simply turned purple for two days when days. And according to the latter had alien creature that tries to eat Starfire, Starfire's one of the Transformation, but certain few Tamaraneans to form a chrysalis instead after a period of various cosmetic mutations.

* CasualInterstellarTravel: Starfire travels to multiple inhabited planets and, according to the Narrator, the "deepest darkest parts of the galaxy". Justified as she was previously mentioned as capable of achieving FTL flight.
