Starfire (Teen Titans)

Starfire Real Name: Koriand'r Nickname: Kory Age: 17 Sex: Female Race: Tamaranean Height: 5 feet 6 inches Princess "Kory" Koriand'r, mostly known as Starfire, and she is an alien princess from the distant world, Tamaran and one of the five founding members of the Teen Titans. Personality: Starfire is happy, emotional, naive and somewhat insecure, but her naivete is not to be mistaken for stupidity. Though it is this naivete that endears her to others, especially to Robin. She and Robin are the closest out of all the Titans, and he takes time out to explain the ways of Earth to her. An alien and an outsider, she 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. She takes friendship very seriously, and is easily distressed when others, especially her friends, argue or fight. She is arguably the most social of the Titans, regularly meditating with Raven, or lifting weights with Cyborg. Above all, she wishes to be friends with everyone she meets, and for everyone to get along. Starfire possesses a strange mixture of personality traits; most of the time, she acts quite gentle and demure, possibly due to expectations of Earth culture and desire to better assimilate in her adopted home, but when the need arises, she can be as much the fearsome warrior as any of her comrades. Appearance: As is typical of the Tamaranean race, Starfire has orange skin and completely green eyes with no whites or visible pupils. Her hair is also unusually long and thick compared to that of humans. She also has green eyes and long, auburn hair. Starfire's outfit consists of a sleeveless violet crop top with a matching violet miniskirt, a silver belt, and thigh-high violet boots with silver soles. For armor, she wears a silver gorget with a round green gem embedded into it, silver bracers with green gems on the back of each hand, and a silver armband on her upper right arm. History: Starfire is the second of the three children of the Royal Family of Tamaran, born to King Myand'r and Queen Luand'r. She, her older sister Blackfire and their younger brother, Wildfire were all raised by Galfore, their guardian. When Starfire was young, her planet was attacked and devastated by the Gordanians. Blackfire made a peace settlement with the invaders by giving them her younger sister as a slave. This devastated the king and queen. Unfortunately for her captors, Starfire, while apparently rather naive and gentle by Tamaranian standards, was too much for them to handle, breaking loose and flying to Earth. As revealed on the prequel episode "Go," Starfire ended up escaping to the town of Jump City, California. Starfire was frightened and alone on the new planet and she started wreaking havoc on Downtown and scaring all of the civilians. However, she was stopped by four teenagers, Robin, Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy. Robin realized the reality of the situation when he saw she was shackled and alone. He was the first person who ever showed her kindness and removed her shackles. Understanding, Robin helped free her. After being freed, Starfire suddenly kissed Robin and instantly understood Earth's English languages. She then grabbed Robin and threatened to destroy them if they didn't leave her alone. However, Koriand'r showed a softer side when Robin was the first person to hero her. The group of teens realized the true threat was Koriand'r's former jailers, the Gordanians who would lay waste to the city if it's citizens did not turn Koriand'r over to them. The group banded together and saved the city from complete destruction. As the days past, Starfire changed from her prison uniform to her iconic costume. Robin asked the Tamaranean girl her real name because they never learned it. Koriand'r felt that her name was hard to pronounce in English, so she gave them its translation, Starfire. The group soon founded the Teen Titans together.
