Starfire

"No price is ever too high when it comes to doing what is right!"

- Starfire

Starfire (Koriand'r) is a main character in Teen Titans Go!. She is voiced by Hynden Walch.

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

- Nancy Basile (Animated TV)

As revealed in the original series, Starfire was Koriand'r, an alien princess from the planet Tamaran who was in line for the throne. When the powerful Gordanians invaded the planet, her devious sister Komand'r (aka Blackfire), wanting the throne for herself, took the opportunity to convince the Gordanians to capture Koriand'r as Tamaran's soon-to-be-queen, in exchange for peace and her place in the throne. Koriand'r went with them convinced it was for the good of her planet, only to discover Komand'r's treachery and the Gordanians' plan to bring her to their Citadel to live out the rest of her days as a tortured slave. Koriand'r then managed to escape during space flight and fled to the nearest planet, Earth. The Gordanians followed in hot pursuit, but were defeated when Koriand'r was aided by four superpowered teenagers. Once she was officially free of the Gordanians, Koriand'r decided to stay on Earth, took the name Starfire (which is what Koriand'r translates to), and joined the other heroes in forming the Teen Titans.

Starfire reprises her role from the original Teen Titans (Series) as the quirky, compassionate, yet powerful alien of the team. Even though she is often the one to ask the meaning of a word, she is extremely loyal and kind-hearted, putting her friends before herself. Her usual mood is extremely friendly, but she will flip into a rampage if a friend/loved one is in danger.

Appearance
Starfire wears a light purple suit, grey gauntlets, and tall purple go-go boots with stars on the bottom. She has orange skin, long reddish-pink hair and green eyes with the "whites" of her eyes being light green along with large feminine eyelashes. As seen in Dude Relax and Laundry Day, she is seen wearing a pink bathrobe and towel on her head. She enjoys wearing pink when relaxing.

Laundry Day
In an attempt to replace her clothes while Raven washed them, Starfire took up sewing and created a beautiful ball gown which she says is hideous.

Artful Dodgers
She wears a sports outfit in Artful Dodgers, which is quite similar to her usual outfit. The outfit consists of a blue headband that covers her eyebrows, a blue top, long white socks with small stripes near the top, and blue shoes. Her wristbands and necklace are the same.

Colors of Raven
Starfire can briefly been seen with two large ponytails, tied with green bows as Pink Raven brushes her hair.

Starfire The Terrible
Starfire once again took up sewing and this time created a legitimate villain costume. Unlike her normal attire, this costume is nearly all black with some purple spikes on her neckplate and gauntlets, and covering most of her body except her arms and face. Her hair is fixed into a single ponytail due to the mask.

Sidekick
When she and the other Titans visit the Batcave with Robin, she tries on a Batgirl costume, which causes Robin to drool and stare in awe. She wears a black suit with bat ears and a cape with a yellow belt, boots, gloves with a yellow Batman emblem on it. Due to the mask, her hair is fixed into a single ponytail.

Nose Mouth
When Raven embraces her demon side and starts tormenting her teammates, she makes Starfire have huge poofy blonde hair, much to Starfire's horror.

Mr. Butt
Because of Starfire's mean older sister, Blackfire, Starfire is sent to space prison and during the course of a few weeks (or days) she changed how she looks. Starfire shaved off most of her black hair, wore a orange jumpsuit with the sleeves torn off, and had numerous tattoos with buff arms.

Baby Hands
In the flashback when the Titans first formed, Starfire looked exactly that of her first appearance from the New Teen Titans comic series. At that time, she wore a single-piece swimsuit-like clothing, and her armor has more corners than curves. Her hair was also poofed out and curled, reaching longer than her feet.



Personality
Starfire is an optimistic, eager, and fearless girl who loves to see the joy around her (much to the opposite of Raven). She is very kind and is known for telling the truth unless it is to help a friend. In Ghostboy, she tells Robin a lie to keep Ghost Beast Boy a secret. The show likes to play with the idea of Starfire being "bad": in Starliar, Beast Boy teaches her how to lie, and she is challenged to be a villain and enemy to the Titans in Starfire The Terrible, and even becomes partially evil in Mr. Butt.

Starfire can be naive to a point; in Ghostboy, she believed Mr. Butt While Starfire is kind, she can also be merciless. She will not hesitate to destroy everything in front of her when she is angry, as seen on La Larva de Amor, when the Titans lost Silkie for a time, or in Second Christmas when Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven deceived her into believing an imaginary holiday.

Starfire has a generous personality because while she tries to learn Earth customs, she would share aspects of her own Tamaranean culture with the Titans. As seen in Missing where she offers Robin some zorkarberries, she occasionally offers alien food that she enjoys to the Titans, though they often kindly refuse. She also tends to bring up certain aspects of her people's lifestyle: in Staff Meeting, Starfire supports Robin's fetish-like bond with his staff by reasoning that some Tamaraneans bond with inanimate objects too.

A prime example of Starfire's personality is seen in Breakfast Cheese, where she attempts to teach the other Titans the art of using compassion and friendship instead of violence and aggression to win battles.

She doesn't completely understand the English language. She doesn't often use contractions (don't, they've, etc.) and often misquotes sayings and idioms. For example, she combined "locomotive" and "commotion" to say "What is all the locomotion about?" instead of "What is all the commotion about?" or says "the night of the girls!" instead of "girl's night out." Her unique form of speech characterizes her as the immigrant of the group. Starfire is often amazed by mundane Earth.

She is very kind going out of her way to make Robin happy by acting as a villan for him in Starfire the Terrible. She is also superficial about her looks as seen in Legendary Sandwhich when she fights a monster outerspace and gets her hair cut off much to her anger.

Powers and Abilities
Starfire's powers derive from her Tamaranean biology. Like Kryptonians (for example, Superman), Tamaraneans are basically solar batteries who convert ultraviolet light into superhuman abilities. The Tamaranean powers are also fueled by emotions.
 * Superhuman Strength: She was strong enough to break a wall. She is also one of strongest Titans on the team. Able to easily catch the couch that Cyborg threw at her in Nose Mouth.
 * Flight: She can fly. In the Original show, she could fly when she had unbridled joy, though, it may not be this way in this show, as she is seen flying more than walking.
 * Superhuman Speed: Her flight may be faster than light, since she is capable of moving so fast that she can travel through time as seen in Gorilla.
 * Superhuman Durability: She is seen on multiple occasions able to take a decent amount of damage that would otherwise completely incapacitate a normal human. For example, she has been crushed in No Power and Be Mine and was very close to fine.
 * Space Adaption: As seen in Legendary Sandwich, she can survive while in space without the need for a space suit.
 * Starbolts: She can shoot green starbolts from her hands. As seen in some episodes, the starbolts can create fire.
 * Starblasts: She shoots lightning-like green energy that creates an explosion.
 * Optic Beams: She can shoot powerful laser-beams from her eyes.
 * Starbolt Rain: She summons many starbolts to harm the other Titans in La Larva de Amor.
 * Detective Skils: She solved a mystery all by herself in I See You.
 * Starbomb: A large energy ball simalar to a starbolt but one that must be charged up and creates a bigger explotion. This is seen in Mr. Butt.

Trivia

 * Her earth name is an English translation of her Tamaranean name (Koriand'r) with "Kori" meaning "Star" and "and'r" meaning "fire."
 * All of her powers are derived from her Tamaranean biology, similar to the original series but different from the comics. This is done by the writers of the original series to censor comic book Starfire's R-rated origin. To keep it simple (and to censor it still), only some of her powers are from her Tamaranean biology in the comics, like her flight and the rest came from experimentation like her starbolts.
 * Starfire will become very violent when she gets mad, as seen in La Larva de Amor, she brutally attacks the other Titans when they lost Silkie, also when the Sandwich Guardian ruined her hair in Legendary Sandwich. This is the very same when she becomes sad upon losing something precious to her, like Silkie in Missing.
 * When angered, she swears in Tamaranean (her home planet's language): "glorborger!" in Laundry Day, "clorbag valbernielk!" and "krebble-nebbits!" in Ghost Boy.
 * Ignorant of what kind of species Silkie is, Starfire refers to him as "a silkie" or "the silkie". However, no other Titans have commented on his species. It is worth noting that, in the original series, Silkie was a mutated moth created by Killer Moth.
 * Her hair is far longer in this show, down to her ankles, compared to her waist-length hair from the original show. This may be an attempt at the original Starfire's image from the comics. She also appears to be attached to her hairstyle, and will react suddenly if anything happens to it: she gets angry if it's cut or burnt in Legendary Sandwich, or terrified if it's a different color and in Nose Mouth.
 * As of Girl's Night Out and Mr. Butt, Starfire has a criminal record. This could be a reference to the original series episode Sisters, where she was framed by her evil older sister Blackfire for stealing a necklace off another planet.
 * In Gorilla, it is shown that Starfire can move so fast that she can break the fabric of time and space.
 * It is shown in Dog Hand that she has an interest to speak like an Earth teenager.
 * Starfire is very naive, as shown in Ghost Boy as she believed Beast Boy was a ghost.
 * As seen in Laundry Day, Starfire does not know how to properly sew. However, in Gorilla and Meatball Party, she apparently does know how to knit, and in Starfire the Terrible, she was able to sew (in her own unique way) a villain's costume.
 * Blackfire (Komand'r) is Starfire's evil sister. It is currently unknown if she has a brother named Wildfire, since there was an original comic of the Teen Titans series (also entitled Teen Titans Go!) about a brother of Starfire named Wildfire (Ryand'r).
 * Her flight and eyebeam is similar to the powers of Jet Ray, an alien from the Ben 10 series.
 * Starfire always has a reputation for always telling the truth shown in Staff Meeting and Starliar; however, in Starliar she always winks when she lies.
 * Starfire also has a liking for meatloaf in Super Robin.
 * In the original show, she had a grayish-violet tongue. in this show, she has a pink one.
 * Just like in the original series and its comic line, her "puppy-dog look" is very effective in getting what she wants from her friends.
 * Whenever she is confused or requires advice, like in Girls Night Out or Missing, she looks up to Raven. This role was taken by her looking up to Robin in the original series.
 * In I See You, it is revealed by Robin, that she has a strawberry scent.
