Starfire Balloon Disposing

Starfire is 20 years old in humans years while in Tamaranean years Starfire is nearly 200 years old.

Backstory: Starfire was born as the princess and raised on the planet Tamaran before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans. The Tamaraneans are an emotional race that see feelings and sensations as the force that drives their very livelihood and strengthens their abilities. In fact, it is their emotions that further increase their natural abilities of flight, and projection of pure ultraviolet energy. Because of this, Starfire is inherently the most sensitive member of the Titans. Starfire was cared for as a child by Galfore. Starfire has an evil big sister Blackfire, who, despite having rescued her often when the two were little, despises Starfire. Starfire was traded as a slave by Blackfire to the Gordanians in order to bring peace to a war-torn Tamaran, after which their parents died from grief. Starfire came to Earth as Koriand'r, a Tamaranean princess being transported by Gordanians, in exile as a slave to the Citadel. Through the use of her innate Tamaranean superhuman strength and incredible agility, she broke free from the brig aboard a Gordanian ship and landed in Jump City. While attempting to free herself of the handcuffs with which she had been laden, she ended up both destroying buildings and cars and running into four young teenagers, with whom she would later fight crime. Raven suggested that fighting may not be the answer, and only then did Robin notice the handcuffs. Carefully, he talked Starfire down and took off the handcuffs. Starfire grabbed and kissed him to learn the English language, and warned him to leave her alone if they do not wish to be destroyed. (This falls in line with how Tamaraneans learn a spoken language through lip contact with another life form.) Having been tracked by the Titans, Starfire reunited with them and fought off the wave of Gordanians sent to recapture her. Angered at Lord Trogaar's promise of destruction, Starfire yelled at Robin, reminding him that she told him to leave her alone. The two got into an argument, but the situation was quickly defused after they apologized to each other, and the decision was made to work as a team to save the city from the Gordanians' particle weapon. The five teenagers founded the Teen Titans shortly after.

Personality: Starfire is very cheerful and sweet, yet naive and insecure, but her naivety should not be mistaken for stupidity. An alien and an outsider, Starfire is still rather new to Earth and its customs. This leads to much confusion for her and others, such as the awkwardness in casually drinking mustard as a beverage, and thinking cotton candy and cotton balls are the same things. Presumably, because English is not her first language, Starfire speaks without contractions and misuses idioms. Additionally, Starfire uses several Tamaranean words and phrases, such as "bumgorf" (a term of endearment towards one's own child), "K'norfka" (parent or guardian), "clorbag varblernelk" (insulting term), "G'lufnog" (bless you; said after one sneezes), and "shlorvak" (dream). Starfire also insists on sharing her own customs with other members of the team (such as providing a crown of raw meat to be worn on one's birthday), but Starfire does not generally take offense when they do not understand or refuse her. Starfire takes friendship very seriously and is easily distressed when others, especially her friends, argue or fight. Starfire is arguably the most social of the Titans, regularly meditating with Raven, or lifting weights with Cyborg. Starfire can also be particularly indignant to the point of snubbing her teammates when she believes they do not care for her friendship or company. Above all, Starfire wishes to be friends with everyone she meets, and for everyone to get along. This is in part probably, as before coming to Earth, Starfire did not have real friends apart of her adoptive father, as she mentioned to Robin that "nice" is not a common word in her planet and that no one had been so nice with her apart of him and her own guardian. Her personality changed dramatically from her first meeting with the Titans. As Starfire fought against the Gordanians with the four other young heroes, her personality calmed dramatically, and she eventually apologized for the destruction she had caused during her escape. This change in behavior suggests truly was, at heart, a somewhat friendly, kindhearted person. The reckless behavior seen at the beginning might lend some credence to why Tamaraneans are so feared throughout the galaxy: their strength is not easily matched. It also proves that Starfire, when the time is right, is not afraid to fight. While naive, Starfire is extremely perceptive. Starfire values her friends more than anything. Starfire has also shown that she has a lot of wisdom.

Appearence: Starfire is an incredibly pretty, lovely and beautiful girl. Starfire is tall and slender with a lean athletic physique bright orange skin an oval face large bright green eyes with light-green scleras, a petite slightly upturned nose and small rounded eyebrows. She has long thick straight, shiny, waist-length, fiery-red hair with short bangs and a widow's peak. Starfire's uniform consists of a sleeveless violet crop top, a violet miniskirt, a silver belt, and thigh-high violet boots with silver soles and bands at the top. For armor, she wears a silver gorget with a round green gem embedded into it, silver bracers with green gems over the backs of her hands, and a silver armband on her upper right arm.

Powers and Abilities: Tamaranean Physiology: All of Starfire's superpowers are native to her extraterrestrial species of the Tamaraeans. Though outwardly humanoid in appearance, she has several biological differences, like having nine stomachs, reddish hair and eyebrows, and very pale orange skin. All of her abilities are tied to her emotional state, and generally can only be triggered when a specific emotion is focused on; because of this, her powers can be weakened or compromised when she is in emotional turmoil, like when she lost her ability to fly due to depression. Ultraviolet Energy Projection: As a result of being experimented on, Starfire can project incredibly powerful bright green-colored energy from her hands, activated by righteous fury. Her energy attacks produce both thermal energy and highly explosive results on contact. Starfire can augment the effectiveness of her punches by surrounding her hands in energy, and she can also use this method to weld or carefully burn through obstacles with contact from her hands. A chiming sound is heard when using her star bolts. Star Bolts: Starfire mainly discharges circular bolts of pure radioactive energy, which are usually launched as thrown circular projectiles. Light Generation: Starfire can intentionally use her powers to illuminate a dark area. Star Bolt Waves: Starfire has also been shown to shoot this energy in the form of waves from her hands. Star bolt shields: Starfire can erect a strong defensive energy barrier and force-field around herself. Star Blasts: Starfire is also able to shoot her energy in the form of powerful and large blasts from her hands. Starfire is capable of unleashing an omnidirectional wave. Laser-Eye Beams: Starfire has ability to emit beams of her bright green energy from her eyes. Though not as powerful as her regular star bolts, these beams can be fired continuously in a steady stream, are more precise in direction, and also give her the element of surprise for when her hands are restrained. They seem to be slightly larger than Blackfire's eye-beams. Flight: By feeling unbridled joy, Starfire can achieve wingless flight under her own willpower. In space, she can travel at nearly light speed, and her superhuman strength is not diminished when airborne. Superhuman Strength: Starfire is immensely strong. While the true extent is unknown, she is shown over four times stronger than Cyborg himself. According to herself, is able to use her enhanced strength by using a feeling called boundless confidence. Superhuman Agility and Superhuman Reflexes: Starfire possesses highly advanced agility and reflexes. Her natural fighting skills are much greater when in conjunction with her superhuman reflexes, durability, and agility. Superhuman Stamina: Starfire can remain awake for long days at a time before tiring out. Superhuman Endurance: Starfire has supreme physical endurance; she was capable of surviving the most severe of snowstorms, but eventually wears down her endurance. Nigh-Invulnerability: Like all of her kind, Starfire is immune to most physical harm; capable of surviving a massively powerful explosion without taking much damage; as such she has bulletproof skin. Radiation Immunity: Starfire is naturally immune to high levels of radiation. Space Survival Skills: Starfire can survive in the endless vacuum of outer space without the need of a spacesuit, as she can breathe and move normally in space. Language Simulation: As a Tamaranean, Starfire can replicate all the acquired spoken knowledge of languages from other life-forms via lip contact; a process known as "the transfer of knowledge." To which, she gains as much fluency in the dialect and idioms as the target, but she still retains her natural accent grammar. Her current known languages are: Tamaranean (native), English, Japanese, and Spanish. Superhuman Metabolism: Starfire has nine stomachs. Warrior Skills: Due to the warlike nature of her homeworld, Starfire is well trained in the martial arts of hand-to-hand combat and unarmed combat. Hand-To-Hand Combat: Although she is not as skillful as her older sister, Starfire is an expert in high-levels of Tamaranean martial arts. She is also skilled in various fighting styles of hand-to-hand combat, such as kickboxing. Archery Skills: Starfire is also versed in some weaponry, using a short bow and arrow at one point with little effort.

Weaknesses: Starfire, like many Tamaraneans, is allergic to metallic chromium. It gives her flu-like symptoms, and when she sneezes, she unleashes explosive star bolts out of her nose and mouth. Also, her powers are largely affected by how she feels, if Starfire is feeling down or confused, her abilities become severely diminished. Like all Tamaraneans, Starfire is not immune to her own energy blasts. Using her self-sustenance and resistance to extreme temperatures takes a lot of energy so Starfire cannot survive forever in space. She also does need to breathe through her self-sustenance can delay that for a while. Because of her naivety, it is easy for certain people to take advantage of or betray Starfire, as seen in "Transformation", where she is lured into a trap and almost eaten by a hungry alien. Menacing the life of one of Starfire's friends can anger her beyond rational thought other than to protect her friends. Like all Tamaraneans, Starfire's powers are controlled by her emotions. If she has certain feelings, she cannot use her powers. Despite being able to survive in the cold vacuum of space, Starfire is vulnerable to snowy climates and will succumb to their bitter temperatures over time.
