Starfire

**"Joy!"**

Starfire, throughout the series.

Luadn'r (mother)

Darkfire (younger brother)

Erifrats (Bizzaro parallel)

**Princess** **Koriand'r**, also known as **Starfire**, is a member of the Teen Titans and one of the five main protagonists of *Teen Titans Go!*. Although this intergalactic princess has trouble adapting to Earth life, she makes up for it with her looks, good-natured demeanor, and devastating superpowers courtesy of her kind and experiments by the Psion scientists.

Hynden Walch, the voice actor for Starfire in the 2003 series, returns to voice her in *Teen Titans Go!*.

## Appearance

Unlike the more traditional, more *modest* superhero outfits, Starfire dresses in a revealing two-piece suit, consisting of a purple crop top and miniskirt. She wears a pair of long boots, with stars on the soles. As a fan of sparkly stuff, Starfire compliments her apparel with a set of silver, gem-studded gauntlets, an emerald necklace, and a gray armband on her upper-left arm. With stunning green eyes, long, feminine eyelashes, and a beautiful smile, many teenage heroes have a hard time keeping their eyes off of Starfire (*especially* Robin). Her skin is slightly tan, and she keeps her hot pink hair very long and flowing, with bangs just above her eyebrows and off to the sides of her face. As shown in "Legendary Sandwich", Starfire's hair is exceedingly important to her, and anyone who dares to mess it up is in some SERIOUS trouble.

## Personality

Starfire is an alien struggling to fit in and learn the ways of Earth while driving Robin insane with unrequited puppy love.

Having been raised in an entirely different alien culture, Starfire has had trouble understanding Earth's ways. She hasn't even been able to fully comprehend English grammar or figures of speech yet; she does things like say the word "the" before most nouns. This causes her problems in episodes like "Knowledge". Starfire's constantly doing strange activities, and while the Titans try to set her on the correct course, they'll occasionally take advantage of her naivety. For example, they tricked her into believing in another Christmas in "Second Christmas". She is also seen licking her pet Silkie in certain episodes as a way to "bathe" him.

The warmongering ways of Tamaran have also influenced Starfire, as she occasionally turns very violent. For instance, towards the end of "Starfire the Terrible", she was nearly about to execute Robin as if it were just another errand. Also, Starfire gravely wounded all four Titans in the episode "La Larva de Amor" after they briefly lost her pet, Silkie. Despite appearing very innocent and harmless, there's no doubt that she has an extremely vicious side to her personality.

Most of the time, however, Starfire is extremely loving and warmhearted. Deeply caring for her teammates, she considers them her best friends (although Robin is always seeking more from her). She even treats her enemies with kindness, as seen in "Breakfast Cheese". As the epitome of goodness, Starfire often contrasts the usually aggressive Titans with her tenderness and affection.

## Trivia

* Since the 2003 *Teen Titans* series, Starfire has undergone a few changes:
	+ Her hair color has gone from red to hot pink, and now it flows down to her ankles (originally only reaching to her waist). However, in some Season 5 episodes, her hair appears to look more red than pink.
	+ Her tongue was grayish-violet in the original series; now it's pink.
	+ The armband she wears has gone from her right to her left arm.
	+ She has a less curvaceous figure in *Teen Titans Go!*.
	+ She rarely shows romantic feelings for Robin, only liking him as a friend/brother figure.
	+ Starfire is now more prone to turn extremely hostile.
	+ She tends to say the word "the" a lot.
* "Starfire", her earth name, is an English translation of her Tamaranian name, "Koriand'r", with "Kori" meaning "Star" and "and'r" meaning "fire".
* She is the only titan who has no human DNA whatsoever.
* Many episodes depict Starfire with an abnormal love for cats.
	+ In the comics, Starfire's species is descended from cat aliens; her love for cats could be a reference to this.
* Starfire will often use words from her native Tamaranian language, such as "bumgorf" (term of endearment), "g'lufnog" (bless you), and glorborger (cuss word).
* "Smile Bones" re-reveals that she has nine stomachs, a fact originally mentioned in *Teen Titans*.
* Whenever she's confused or needs advice, such as in "Girl's Night Out" or "Missing", Starfire often turns to Raven for help instead of the team leader, Robin (whom she usually sought after in *Teen Titans*).
* Previously ignoring Starfire in the original series, Robin now has a passionate love for her. Unfortunately for him, Starfire is now the one disregarding him in *Teen Titans Go!*. Whenever she *does* admit to loving Robin, it's usually a cruel joke. Very few instances of Starfire actually returning her feeling towards him exist in the new series:
	+ In "Starfire the Terrible", she gets jealous of Robin's love for the moon, however, when that happened, Robin was thinking of her or pretending that the moon was her, much to her misunderstanding.
	+ During "Let's Get Serious", Starfire briefly admires Robin's looks.
	+ Starfire can be seen swooning with a emotion at the sight of his face in "The Mask".
	+ In "Mouth Hole", she actually falls in love with Robin. They're even about to kiss, but the episode ends before they can.
* Interestingly, in "Robin Backwards", Starfire has a crush on Nibor, Robin's Bizzaro counterpart, while Erifrats, Starfire's Bizzaro counterpart, has a crush on Robin.
* According to Robin in the episodes "I See You" and "Serious Business", Starfire smells like strawberries.
* Starfire has escaped prison twice:
	+ In "Girl's Night Out", after wrecking Jump City, she, Raven, and Jinx make a break from prison.
	+ Also, in "Mr. Butt", she breaks loose from an intergalactic detention center after being unjustly jailed by Blackfire (a callback to the *Teen Titans* episode "Sisters").
* When Starfire is crying in the episode "Knowledge", viewers can see that she wears eyeliner.
* Her "puppy-dog look" from the previous cartoon is still very effective in getting her what she wants.
* Ignorant of Silkie's mutant moth species, Starfire settles on calling him "the Silkie".
* Starfire has difficulty lying in many episodes such as "Love Monsters", so Beast Boy taught her how to successfully swindle people in "Starliar".
* According issue #28 in the *Teen Titans Go!* comic series, Starfire is a One Direction fan.
* Coming from a culture very different from Earth's, Starfire often does very peculiar things, such as:
	+ licking Silkie ("Missing")
	+ drinking mustard ("No Power", "Kabooms")
	+ drinking fish water ("Fish Water")
	+ cooking chili in a toilet ("Serious Business")
	+ offering the Titans gross food (many episodes)
	+ becoming friends with an Ice Cream Scoop ("The Scoop!")
	+ chewing a tea bag ("Hot Salad Water")
	+ jumping into a well ("Mo' Money Mo' Problems")
	+ mistaking a skunk as a "forest kitty" ("Tall Titan Tales")
	+ choosing to be the "basket case", wearing a basket and acting weird ("Forest Pirates")
* Starfire has an interest in being able to speak like an Earth teenager (revealed in "Dog Hand").
* It's revealed in "The Return of Slade" that Starfire was extremely afraid of clowns, but in the end, her fear had soon transformed into a hatred.
* Even though she couldn't properly sew in "Laundry Day", Starfire is seen knitting in "Gorilla" and "Meatball Party", and somehow, she even crafted her own villain costume in "Starfire the Terrible".
* In "The True Meaning of Christmas", both Starfire and Raven enjoy the smell and taste of gingerbread.
* Having only appeared in an original *Teen Titans Go!* comic so far, it's unknown whether Ryand'r (Wildfire), Starfire's brother, will appear in the series.
* Although Starfire shares many powers with Superman, she also has noticeable similarities with Son Goku(孫悟空) from the *Dragon Ball* franchise, including their personality, origin stories, and abilities.
* Starfire seems to have a tendency to add an excessive amount of “the” (or occasionally “of”) in her sentences due to her being an immigrant.
	+ She also has a habit of making nonexistent vocabulary by merging different words, such as “locomotion”, which comprises of “locomotive” and “commotion”.
* "Stockton, CA!" reveals that she wears pink toe nail polish.
* In Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans, her subconscious mind is revealed to be a girly and peaceful fantasy, where a unicorn and some kittens reside.
* The episode Butt Atoms shows she wears pink panties, unlike the original show's purple underwear.
* There are several slight physical alterations of Starfire's face starting in Season 5:
	+ Her hair is now a darker pink/fuchsia/magenta.
	+ Her bangs have changed style slightly.
	+ Her eyebrows are spread apart further and slightly smaller.
	+ Her eyes are slightly bigger.
	+ Her ears change shape drastically, changing from longer to rounder oval.
	+ Her skin color is slightly darker.
		- However, her physical appearance remains unchanged in the title theme. Her original eye design is kept specifically during the song "We Are Titans" in *Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans* for some reason.
