## Biography: (Written by Oracle)

### Koriand'r: 1987 - 2003

The second in line of Tamaran and is also the second child while at first Koriand'r was mainly supposed to take over at the throne her sister, Komand'r was groomed to take over due to the her age though shortly after this Koriand'r was decided to remain as the heir to take up mantle of the throne shortly after this Komand'r had went on a rage shortly after her abilities such as natural Tamaranean ability to convert ultraviolet light into flight energy and later fled the planet shortly after this and would be seen years later.

Shortly after this Komand'r was declared to be gone into exile and wouldn't be seen until Koriandr's 16th birthday as this would cause Komand'r to return shortly after this with the forces of Apokalypse and began a series of attacks on the planet.

Shortly after this and the arrival of Furies having caused the planet to become heavily damaged in months based on this while the forces Tamaran within the following six months and as Koriand'r's father had refused to give up Komand'r had publicly killed him shortly after this Koriand'r was held hostage and shortly after this was held hostage for months going through various experiments and after the following weeks was able to unlock her powers due to this while the prison ship was passing by Earth's sun Koriand'r's cells were able to absorb much like a kryptonian due to this she was able to blast her way through the ship and was able to hitch onto an escape pod.

Due to the pod being highly damaged and with her having no way to pilot it the pod piloted the pod to go towards the closet planet which would cause the worst summer of my life that I'd ever experienced at all yeah definitely the worst.

### Starfire: 2003 - 2009

Not long after getting an exit pod, which she used her somewhat knowledge of flight skills to pilot her ship while being shot at, Koriand'r had landed in Jump City, near the newly built Titans Tower, The Teen Titans had observed the onslaught on Jump City due to the battle going on between Koriand'r and her enemies, with Robin having lead the charge to arms, though if you ask me it was Dick thinking with something else in mind. Having helped her in fight and with the Titans being unable to understand the others, she had kissed Dick to understand English.

Though I call total BS on that, cause if she did she be able to speak perfect English by now though it left Dick quite scrambled a me and him had just called it quits due to our hero time often intersecting into our personal lives, this led to the two going out not long after just as the Titans had gained their own teen following, along with gaining her name as Starfire. Having gained my friends and my man though all I got was nearly getting shot by a clown, which is... fine, Either way Koriand'r had gotten a transmission from Tamaran as a distress cal and had alerted the Titans to aid her.

Though as the Titans were admitted into The League as the 2006 recruits due to the loss of Terra during a mission along with Dick's relationship with Batman cutting into between his time as leader, with Wonder Girl and Cyborg having filled in but often struggled with this as a result, though Koriand'r was till in hopes of returning and convinced the others to take the T-Jet.

Upon arriving to Tamaran, Koriand'r and the Titans had arrived to see her planet in ruins due to the ruthless and violent attacks lead by Komand'r having taken over as the dictator of her people with the group having joined the effort to take her away from the rule of Queen as Tamaran, by the end of this Koriand'r had choose to stay behind, in order to aid the rebuilding of her home, causing the Titans to have a tearful goodbye. As I hoped that she would stay gone for good but luck can only go so far I suppose...

### Starfire: 2009 - Present Day

Let's fast forward six years later, where Koriand'r had arrived back on Earth while Dick was in the middle of case while in Bludhaven, in hopes of restarting her relationship again, along with reinstating her time as a League member along with rejoining the Titans she had apparently fought off her sisters over f=ruling forces and couldn't travel back to Earth due to her rebuilding efforts that Tamaran had needed.

Though she seemed to have a couple of missing gaps of knowledge such as the death of Tyra, along with a couple of missions with the Titans all of which could be to the fact that she had placed on herself as a protective barrier out of fear that her friends would view her differently after being gone for so long. Onto the mater of her and Dick's relationship the two had dated for a couple of years before getting into an arguement for Dick's undercover mission.

## Strengths

* **Tamaranean Physiology:** Her alien physiology constantly absorbs ultraviolet radiation and converts it to energy. When she is using her abilities in full force, her hair seems to glow and react like fire. However, this is simply an illusion and is not true fire, nor does it burn.
	+ ***Enhanced Strength:*** Koriand'r is superhumanly strong. The actual threshold varies depending on emotion levels as well as reserves of ultraviolet energy, but typically she exhibits Class II Enhanced Strength, allowing her to lift around 3 tons. When she is feeling 'boundless confidence' she has demonstrated lifting over a hundred times that weight, putting her in the Class VI to Class VII area.
	+ ***Enhanced Durability:*** Koriand'r is incredibly durable, bulletproof to low caliber ammunition, and is resistant to temperatures to the point that she can resist the vacuum of space for short periods of time.
	+ ***Enhanced Stamina:*** Due to her ability to absorb solar radiation, it is nearly impossible for Koriand'r to tire in daylight and has considerable energy reserves that allow her to function at peak levels for several hours even at night or in other environments deprived of solar energy.
	+ ***Flight:*** Koriand'r can use her energy to push herself through the sky. This only works when gravity is affecting her, and she cannot fly unaided in space. While this is a natural ability of all Tamaraneans, Koriand'r's gene-splicing allows her to more efficiently absorb solar radiation and thus can utilize it in such a way to propel herself at faster speeds than other Tamaraneans. Her flight is controlled by feeling a sense of 'unbridled joy' and the maximum speed thus varies dependent on her level of joy. Her highest recorded speed yet is Mach 10 (7,600 MPH) but typically she soars at a comfortable cruising speed at about Mach 1 (760 MPH).
	+ ***Linguistic Assimilation:*** Koriand'r is capable of assimilating other languages through physical contact with another person. She claims this contact must be lip to lip, effectively kissing the person. This ability fades away over time and must be 'replenished' approximately every week or so, depending on how much it is used and the complexity of the language.
* **Ultraviolet Energy Projection:** As a result of being experimented on, Koriand'r can project bright green-colored energy from her hands, activated by feeling a sense of what she describes as "righteous fury". Her energy attacks produce both thermal energy and highly explosive results on contact. She can augment the effectiveness of her punches by surrounding her hands in energy, and can also use this method to weld or carefully burn through obstacles with contact from her hands. These destructive blasts are called "starbolts" and she also has the power to unleash all her stored energy into a pseudo nova blast. It is suggested to be as hot as the sun itself and so only uses this in dire situations. Koriand'r can project her 'starbolts' at her opponents in a variety of ways. The energy is burning hot and melts or destroys most metal objects and skin. This ability stems from the genetic manipulation Koriand'r was subjected to and is not a natural Tamaranean ability.
	+ ***Starbolt Waves:*** She has also been shown to shoot this energy in the form of waves from her hands.
	+ ***Starbolt Shields:*** She can erect a strong defensive energy barrier and force-field around herself.
	+ ***Starblasts:*** Starfire is also able to shoot her energy in the form of powerful and large blasts from her hands.
	+ ***"Starry-Eyed Surprise":*** After going through the Tamaranean version of puberty, Koriand'r gained the highly useful ability to emit beams of her bright green energy from her eyes. Though not as destructive as her regular starbolts, 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.
* **Prehensile Tongue:** Koriand'r has a long, strong, and sticky purple tongue which can be used to grab things up to just over a meter away. This tongue is covered in a sticky enzyme known to kill nearly all bacteria, thus allowing Koriand'r to safely eat things that humans would find toxic (and what the tongue doesn't sanitize, her nine stomachs usually filter out).
* **Aviation:** Koriand'r has demonstrated considerable skill in piloting spacecraft and aircraft of all varieties.
* **Firearms:** As the princess of Tamaran, a planet that prides itself on its warrior tradition, Koriand'r was taught to use such weapons since birth. However since her gene-splicing, Koriand'r prefers using her own natural energy blasts rather than guns.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat:** Koriand'r was taught combat moves as a young girl and continued to train through her imprisonment and beyond. Although trained, she often brutally attacks her opponents with reckless abandon in which she doesn't use her skills.
* **Swordsmanship:** Koriand'r has been seen using swords on a number of occasions. She prefers using her own fists.
* **Azerothian Talismans:** Thanks to them she can keep her identity secret.

## Weaknesses

* **Tamaranean Physiology:** Though outwardly humanoid in appearance, she has several biological differences, like having nine stomachs. As a result, there are a number of things that affect her in different ways than a human. For example, Koriand'r is allergic to metallic chromium. It gives her flu-like symptoms.
* **Emotions:** Koriand'r's 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.
* **Backfire:** Interestingly, Koriand'r is not immune to her own energy blasts.
* **Energy Drain:** Using her self-sustenance and resistance to extreme temperatures takes a lot of energy so she can't survive forever in space. She also does need to breathe though her self-sustenance can delay that for a while.
* **Naivety:** Because she is so naive, it is easy for several people to take advantage of or betray her.
* **Memory Loss:** Tamaraneans apparently have the ability to 'block' memories on demand as a way to enable them to always have access to their abilities. Unfortunately, once they have blocked a particular memory, it can be difficult to retrieve without others around to remind them of what they had blocked. This seems to be the case with many of Koriand'r's memories between 2006 and her return to Earth.

## Trivia

* The escape pod Starfire used to get to earth also carried another prisoner: Despero.
* Starfire joined the Justice League of America in 2007 nominated by The Flash.
* Barbara hates Kori because she feels her luck got bad when she landed on Earth; she got shot by the Joker, got crippled and lost the chance to confess her love to Dick because he started dating Kori. Kori on the other side, legitimately likes Babs and considers her a friend... She believes that Babs is just that way with everyone and doesn't really see that they have a problem.
* Kori loves drinking mustard.
* The way Starfire speaks is because she is naive of Earth's customs and language, but she isn't dumb... A little ignorant, but not without intelligence.
* When we first met Koriand'r, her height was 5`6" but she quickly shot up upon reaching full adulthood.
* Tamaraneans are actually descended from catlike creatures.
* Koriand'r has 9 stomachs, which may explain why she eats so much and never gains a pound.
* Koriand'r has a remarkable memory, as demonstrated by her ability to recite Tamaranean poetry that consists of 6000 verses.
* Tamaraneans' folk music consists mostly screaming, which is one of the few 'musical styles' I've seen that Victor Stone cannot tolerate.
