Starfire and Blackfire

Blackfire first appeared when she arrived on Earth in the second episode "Sisters" where she gave Starfire a Centauri moon diamond and pretended to enjoy being reunited with her. Blackfire won the Teen Titans' support by having fun with them and telling them stories of adventures she had throughout her travels in the galaxy.

The Titans seemed to like her so much, Starfire was beginning to think they wouldn't need her around anymore. She was especially unhappy with her sister's attempts at flirting with Robin. When Starfire thought of leaving Earth, the Centauri Police showed up and captured her. The Titans rescued her and explained to the Centaurians that they have captured the wrong Tamaranean. The Titans then discovered that Blackfire had framed Starfire for crimes by giving her a stolen jewel from the Centauri System. Blackfire, who was leaving Earth at that exact moment, was defeated by Starfire after her right hand was hit by Starfire's starbolts. She was about to attack again however, the Centauri Police catch her from behind. Starfire tells her sister, despite the betrayal it was still nice to see her. Not too pleased that she's being taken to prison, Blackfire swears revenge on her little sister for shaming and humiliating her.

Blackfire later broke out from prison and wrestled control of Tamaran as its new Grand Ruler. Blackfire attempted to get revenge on Starfire by forcing her to marry Glgrdsklechhh, a hideous alien. This was actually part of an elaborate plot between Blackfire and Glgrdsklechhh; by marrying Starfire to Glgrdsklechhh, he would reward Blackfire with a very powerful jewel. When her ruse was uncovered, Blackfire was once again defeated by Starfire in an official challenge for the throne.

When Starfire was fighting with Nega Starfire (one of Trigon's minions) in the episode "The End - Part 2 Starfire mentions that Nega Starfire reminds her of Blackfire to which Nega Starfire took as a compliment.

Blackfire was one of the only villains missing from the lineup of the Brotherhood of Evil, suggesting that she was not out to get all the superheroes or even the Titans, but simply to just take out Starfire.

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, who first appeared in "Betrothed". Her only family of which we know in the series is her evil big sister Blackfire, who, despite having rescued her often when the two were little, despises her. Later, in the comic Teen Titans Go, it is revealed she also has a younger brother named Wildfire; he was sent away when the Gordanians attacked Tamaran. 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 the mysterious girl down and took off the handcuffs. She 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.)

Once fully released, she sought out food in the form of popcorn and candy at the local video store.

Having been tracked by the Titans, she reunited with them and fought off the wave of Gordanians sent to recapture her. Angered at Lord Trogaar's promise of destruction, she 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. In "Final Exam", the Titans are attacked by the H.I.V.E. Five who plan on defeating them, and taking over the Titans Tower.

In "Sisters", Starfire and Robin were at the local carnival ferris wheel, observing the fireworks while eating cotton candy. She was curious about Earthly things. Starfire blankly told Robin that fireworks meant the Gordanians were attacking. After reassuring her that wasn't the case, Starfire was abruptly taken away and being chased by alien probes. After the Titans and her manage to fend it off, they all wonder why it was after Starfire, then they head back to Titans Tower. There, they discover that Blackfire, Starfire's older sister, has come to Earth for a visit. While Starfire is very pleased to see her, Blackfire seems to take a interest more in the rest of the Titans, complimenting them and getting along like they were old friends. Starfire is not very happy about this, thinking that her friends have replaced her with her 'cooler and better looking sister.' After a short while, the Titans are invited to a party in an abandoned warehouse, courtesy of Blackfire.

In "Divide and Conquer", Robin and Cyborg get into a fight causing Cyborg to leave the team. Starfire clearly becomes affected by this, showing the fact by making the Pudding of Sadness, done by Tamaraneans when bad things happen. She tries to cheer the rest of the Titans up amidst the situation. After the successful fight with Plasmus, Starfire is relieved and joyful to know that the two finally made up, even suggesting to initiate a group hug.

In "Forces of Nature", after being nailed by a prank from Beast Boy that was meant for Cyborg. Starfire became angry with Beast Boy constantly ignoring him. While looking for the brother pair named Lightning and Thunder, she paired with Beast Boy continues to ignore him even rejecting his "cute kitty eye" look. But after their second fight with Thunder and Lightning, Starfire finally forgives Beast Boy for the prank.

In "Nevermore", Starfire is confused with Raven's recent behavior. Wanting to check up on her friend's well-being, Starfire suggests that she and Robin go look for her, but Robin turns the offer down as Raven did say she wanted to be alone. After many continuous requests, Starfire decides to just go on her own but Robin tries to stop her by pulling her knock-ready arm away from Raven's door. With the door opening mere seconds later, Starfire is thrilled to see Raven well with Cyborg and Beast Boy, and suggests a breakfast feast.

In "Switched", Starfire and Raven accidentally switches bodies and are tasked to save the boys from the Puppet King. They later have problems with controlling their powers, as their way with using them differs from one another. In a failed attempt to properly use each other's powers, the two come into an agreement to fully understand each other first. From their experiences and stories about their lives, to their respective powers, Starfire and Raven grew closer, finally understanding their differences. They later save the boys and are switched back to their original bodies.

In "Mad Mod", Starfire and the other Titans end up being caught in a never-ending school maze by Mad Mod so they could be taught a "lesson". Being separated in the process, Starfire wakes up and finds herself in the villain's library. She was forced to look into the hypnotizing screen. If not, she would be crushed. Until being rescued by Robin, the duo found it harder to get out and found Beast Boy completely hypnotized. She tries her best to wake him up to no avail but is reunited with Cyborg and Raven.

In "Car Trouble", Cyborg introduced her and the Titans to the T-Car that he built. When Overload was attacking an electronic store, the Titans rode in the car to stop him. However, after stopping Overload, the T-Car was stolen by two boys named Sammy and Cash. Starfire attempt to comfort him but Cyborg decided to get the T-Car back.

In "How Long is Forever?", Starfire intends to celebrate a traditional Tamaranean holiday, Blorthog, the Day of Friendship, with her fellow Titans, but she finds them bickering over trivial things. With everyone too hung up in their own issues, Starfire warns them of "Rekma", the concept of "the Drifting Apart", which would occur, and result in the death of close friendships if they are not truly valued. The Titans reassure Starfire that this is merely typical roommate behavior, and that they would always remain friends. With a villain at the technological museum, Starfire manages to impulsively charge at Warp and both vanish into the time-stream. Sucked into the future, Starfire must find her friends' future selves and get back to her own time.

In "Every Dog Has His Day", Starfire and the others find Beast Boy is an alien's best friend.

In "Terra", Starfire and the others meet Terra, a young girl with telekinetic superpowers.

In "Only Human", Starfire and the others win Cyborg to defeat Atlas.

In "Fear Itself", Starfire and the others find Raven to defeat all her enemies that scared her.

In "Fear Itself", Starfire and the others find Raven to defeat all her enemies that scared her.

In "Date with Destiny", while trying to catch the spider-headed jewel thief Fang, Starfire saves Robin from falling due to being paralyzed by the venom. After that, the two go back to Titans Tower for treatment.

In "Transformation", Starfire gains a large lump on her forehead. Worried about what the others might think, Starfire tries to keep her lump a secret, but as each day passes, she keeps getting more transformations. Once her secret is out, she flies away to find a different home, thinking about the others laughing at her appearance, and how they'll never accept her. Landing in a seemingly uninhabited planet, Starfire finds a beautiful and mysterious woman that later explains the recent changes. Starfire explains that Blackfire merely turned purple for two days, but the woman says that each Tamaranean has a different form of Transformation. Starfire was one of the few that would become a chrysalis. Soon, a chrysalis forms around her, and when it has almost completely formed, the Cironeilian Chrysalis Eater reveals its true form. Before the Cironeilian Chrysalis Eater is able to devour Starfire, the other Titans arrive and interfere. Finishing with Starfire's new eye-beams, the Cironeilian Chrysalis Eater is defeated. With the reassurance that the other Titans will always be her friends, no matter how much she changes on the outside, Starfire returns home, happy once again.

In "Winner Take All", Starfire, Raven, and Terra, are teleported to an alternate dimension. As the Master of Games somehow appears before them, his jewel mysteriously repaired, welcoming them to the Tournament of Heroines. Starfire states to Raven, "I have a bad feeling about this".

In "Fractured", as a result of reality being broken by Larry, Starfire's head sprouts a pair of little white pegasus wings and proceeds to pop loose from her body, flying circles above it as the panicking body jumps up and down trying to catch her. A giant crayon monster then appears and a chase scene ensues, Starfire's body holding onto her head throughout lest it fly away and Starfire loses her head for good. She manages to put her head back on her body just in time for the battle with Johnny Rancid at the end of the episode, the wings on her head disappearing upon reattachment.

In "X", Starfire and the others answer a call to a break in and soon discover that the theft was someone that had stolen Robin's Red X suit. While fighting the new Red X, she was called cute by him but rejected his offer for a date. With Red X successfully escaping, the Titans come back to the tower. Starfire discusses with the team on who the mysterious and new Red X could be.

In "Betrothed", Starfire was called back to Tamaran, unaware that she is being tricked into marrying Glgrdsklechhh by her sister and new Grand Ruler of Tamaran, Blackfire.

In "Crash", Starfire was talking with Robin until Beast Boy zoomed past the pair. Cyborg was acting strange, even being asked to make her stewed gruntmag but recalled that the last time she did, it made Cyborg very sick.

In "Haunted", Starfire was subjected to threats and yelling from Robin after claiming that she could not see Slade (who was real to Robin). Fearing for his safety, Starfire knocks Robin unconscious before taking him to the infirmary to be examined.

In "The Beast Within", Starfire is baffled with Beast Boy's sudden dramatic change. Upon hearing Raven's cry, Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg rally, but they find Beast Boy and Raven missing, with Beast Boy's room filled with claw marks. Following Raven's tracer, they find her in the sewers hanging unconscious and injured from the fangs of a big green werewolf monster. Starfire quickly flies to Raven, and manages to protect Raven from the creature. Only with the greatest effort do the Titans manage to subdue it - to find out to their immense surprise that the creature was none other than Beast Boy.

In "Bunny Raven... or ...How to Make A Titananimal Disappear", while dealing with the Amazing Mumbo after Raven gets sucked into the magician's hat Starfire and the others follow. Afterwards, she and the others find out that Mumbo's hat is way bigger on the inside, upon finding Raven as the villain's assistant Star was shocked Raven was turned into a rabbit calling her cute.

In "Titans East - Part 2", Starfire, along with the rest of the Teen Titans responded to Cyborg's call for help in the Titans East tower and fought Bumblebee. At the end of the episode, Más y Menos were attracted to Starfire, fighting each other over her as they bring her gifts.

In "Stranded", Starfire is offended when Robin says she isn't his girlfriend. Starfire misinterprets this due to Robin's poor choice of words. When the vicious space monster manages to latch onto the T-Ship, miscommunication leaves the Titans separated. Robin immediately sets out to find the others but is saved by Starfire from a slime creature, who is however quite cool and stand-offish towards him. They later talk in a cave, and Robin is confused why Starfire isn't using her powers. She explains that they are used when in an emotional state, and right now, she is feeling confused about their relationship. Robin awkwardly expresses and explains how much he cares about Starfire.

In "Overdrive", Starfire becomes tired from fighting the duplicating Billy Numerous. She later tricks him, together with the other Titans, with holograms created by Cyborg.

In "Mother Mae-Eye", Starfire discovers that a witch is pretending to be their mother after realizing she was hypnotized this whole time. Starfire tries to fight her, but is unable to fight Mother Mae-Eye alone and is quickly overpowered. Although Mae-Eye tries her best to get her under her control again, Starfire deceives her and comes to her friends' rescue.

In "The End" trilogy, Starfire explains from her experience that Raven's powers are controlled by emotion. Starfire later fights an evil version of herself, together with Cyborg and Beast Boy.

In "Snowblind", while on a mission in Russia, Starfire gets lost and nearly freezes to death in a snowstorm. Luckily, she is found and rescued by a mysterious figure, later revealed to be Red Star. After waking up, he and Starfire talk. Starfire teaches Red Star on how to control his powers.

In "Hide and Seek", Starfire was mentioned by Beast Boy about being out on another mission.

In "Calling All Titans!", Starfire finds and aids Argent in repairing a leaking dam in New Zealand. She then gives her a communicator. After a while, Argent is unexpectedly assaulted by General Immortus and his army. Starfire returns to find Argent, but is nowhere to be found, only to find Killer Moth and Kitten with his army waiting for her.

In "Titans Together", she, however, was not captured and resurfaced with Bumblebee and Red Star at the Brotherhood of Evil's hideout in Paris, helping free her friends and taking part in the final fight against the Brotherhood.

Even though Blackfire is Starfire's older sister, the two are polar opposites as Blackfire is grim, cunning, deceitful, immoral, sadistic and unremorseful who also has the optimum qualities of a villain. The two almost never get along well, except when Blackfire tricks Starfire into thinking she's being nice. Blackfire is constantly trying to, in some way, do away with Starfire, first with getting her arrested and then trying to marry her to an ooze alien. Blackfire loves fighting her sister and rubbing the fact that she is older and stronger in her little sister's face. The two of them are poster children for sibling rivalry. She has a very sarcastic sense of humor and always hurts Starfire's feelings. Blackfire is also quite vain and loves telling stories about herself. Blackfire is also quite pretty, and she knows it and uses it to her advantage when around boys. This is seen in the second episode, "Sisters" when she developed a crush on Robin upon meeting him and tried to gain his attention and affection, but this could also have been a ploy in further isolating her sister from her friends.

Tamaranean Physiology: All of Blackfire's superpowers are native to her extraterrestrial species of the Tamaraeans. With the exception of her ultraviolet energy-projection, Blackfire has the standard Tamaranean abilities.

Superhuman Strength and Superhuman Durability: Being a Tamaranean like her younger sister, Blackfire is far much stronger than she appears to be as she could damage Cyborg's mechanical hand with just a simple handshake. In "Betrothed", she seemed to be physically stronger and more powerful than Starfire as Blackfire was able to lift a large pillar, which only came as a result of the Jewel of Charta. After Starfire removed the gem, her superhuman abilities were reduced to their normal power-levels.

Superhuman Agility and Superhuman Reflexes: Blackfire is quite agile, nimble and has quick reflexes, which greatly perfect her own combative skills.

Superhuman Stamina: Blackfire can work continuously for days at a time without tiring out.

Nigh-Invulnerability: Like her younger sister, like all of her kind, she is immune to most physical harm. Blackfire has moderate invulnerability to physical harm, heat, cold and high-intensity radiation. At one point, she was able to withstand a barrage of Starfire's unusually strong starblasts; due to wearing the mystic Jewel of Charta which greatly increased her natural abilities.

Flight: Like her younger sister, Blackfire can fly through the air under her own power faster than the speed of light.

Ultraviolet Energy Projection: Due to being experimented on, Blackfire can project incredibly strong and destructively effective bursts of light purple-colored "blackbolt" energy from the palms of her hands; even though they’re light purple, not black. This is a trait unique to her, as all other Tamaraneans project bright green ultraviolet energy. Blackfire also went through the Tamaranean puberty (referred to as the "the Transformation"), Blackfire is mentioned to have turned purple for two days. She also has the power and ability to channel her lilac-colored energy as thin narrow beams from her eyes similar to "heat vision." at one point, her blackbolts turned red when she had the Jewel of Charta in her possession, which greatly strengthened her natural Tamaranean abilities to even greater power-levels.

Blackbolt Shields/Force-Fields: When empowered with the mystical Jewel of Charta, she was capable of creating powerful red force-fields capable of withstanding Starfire's bright green starbolts.

Vacuum Adaptation: Blackfire also has the ability to survive in the hostile conditions of space without any sort of protection or special gear.

Language Simulation: As a Tamaranean, Blackfire can replicate all the acquired spoken knowledge of languages from other life-forms via lip contact; a process known as "the transfer of knowledge."

Decelerated Aging: Like all Tamaraneans, Blackfire can remain young and beautiful for many, many years to match her extended lifespan.

Radiation Immunity: Blackfire is naturally immune to high levels of radiation.

Warrior Skills: Due to the warlike nature of her homeworld, Blackfire is well trained in the martial arts of hand-to-hand combat and unarmed combat.

Hand-To-Hand Combat: Blackfire is an expert in high-levels of Tamaranean martial arts. Blackfire demonstrated some high-level moves of alien martial arts to Robin. Knowing much more combative moves than Starfire, she considers herself the better fighter. She used a move on Robin which she learned from a Ven-Zo master on Tyrus Three.

Master Manipulator and Deceiver: Blackfire is very well at manipulating others to do her bidding willingly and manages to control their actions through her "kind and friendly" words.

Blackfire's arrogance has always been her downfall in combat. Since she thinks she's the better fighter simply because she is older, she often underestimates Starfire, believing her little sister cannot compete with her in terms of fighting, yet Starfire has defeated her every time they fought on screen.

Alongside the same weakness as her sister to the cold and her powers being controlled by her emotions bur unlike Starfire and many other Tamaraneans she is not allergic to Chromium.

Blackfire's sisterly relationship with her younger sister is far from close and loving, despite the fact that she would often rescue Starfire when the two were little and they seemed to have loved each other in the past, as revealed in Sisters. She prefers to take advantage of her rather than spend sisterly time with her. In fact, she despises her sister so much, that she had taken a Centauri Moon diamond and gave it to Starfire to have the Centauri police think that she, Starfire, was the culprit they were after. Upon being found out, she attempted to retreat but was blocked by Starfire. A fight broke out between the two sisters with Blackfire being taken into custody. She angrily vowed that she would be out of jail soon and would get even.

Wanting to get rid of her little sister once and for all, Blackfire had made a deal with the elephant-like alien, Glgrdsklechhh: She would give him her baby sister as his wife, and he would give her the mystical Jewel of Charta. With it, her natural abilities would increase drastically, allowing her to rule all of Tamaran with an iron fist. Unfortunately, her plan was realized and Starfire demanded a challenge for the right to take the Tamaranean throne and rule as empress. The duel later ended in Starfire breaking the Jewel, reducing Blackfire's strength and abilities to normal and being knocked out cold by a barrage of starbolts. With Starfire as empress, she was then imprisoned away from Tamaran. As she was taken away by the castle guards, she said that she would never forget what Starfire had again done to her.

Starfire is very cheerful and sweet, yet naive and insecure, but her naivety should not be mistaken for stupidity. An alien and an outsider, she is still rather new to Earth and its customs. (For example, she did not understand what a boy meant when he asked if she was "diggin' the scene" when she was at a party, and stated, confused, "I did not know we were supposed to bring shovels.") 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 (e.g. "Kick the butt!" as opposed to "Kick butt!" or "The mall of shopping" instead of "shopping mall" as well as "lobstery" instead of "crabby"). Additionally, she 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). She 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. In one instance ("Can I Keep Him?"), she lies about a holiday celebrated by destroying drapery and blows up a window to explain an accidentally torn curtain, an act that barely registers as odd behavior by the others. 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. She 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 in "Go!" 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. She is also very loyal and p is very protective of people she loves especially robin and loves people. Her personality changed dramatically from her first meeting with the Titans in Go!. She demonstrated her power and strength as she escaped from the Gordanian ship. While the others saw rampant destruction without a cause, Raven saw her trying to free herself from her handcuffs. As mentioned above, Tamaraneans learn language through lip contact, and having gotten what she wanted from Robin, she leaves him with a warning to leave her alone, she flies away knowing full well that the Gordanians were still hot on her trail. As she 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 of the episode 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 "kick the butt".

While naive, Starfire is extremely perceptive. As shown in "Apprentice - Part 2", while knowing Robin and Slade had similar personalities, she refused to believe he had gone to be Slade's apprentice of his own accord, spending hours looking for him. Later, she states that she "cannot live in a world where they must fight," showing that she values her friends more than anything. Starfire has also shown that she has a lot of wisdom, most notably in "Snowblind", when she got Red Star to embrace his powers. She has also taught lessons to both Cyborg and Beast Boy in "Forces of Nature" and "Deception".

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. She 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: As seen in "Fear Itself"",Snowblind", and "The Beast Within", Starfire can intentionally use her powers to illuminate a dark area.

Star Bolt Waves: She has also been shown to shoot this energy in the form of waves from her hands.

Star bolt shields: She can erect a strong defensive energy barrier and force-field around herself, as seen in "The End - Part 1" and "Can I Keep Him?"

Star Blasts: Starfire is also able to shoot her energy in the form of powerful and large blasts from her hands. As, seen in the end she is capable of unleashing an omnidirectional wave.

Laser-Eye Beams: After going through the Tamaranean version of puberty (a process referred to as the "Transformation"), Starfire gained the highly useful 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; in "Overdrive", she was seen effortlessly lifting with a single hand twice as much as what Cyborg struggled to with both hands. 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: She 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, she 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, as stated in "Snowblind".

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 (from Robin in "Go!"), Japanese (from a stranger in Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo), and Spanish (from a stranger in "Titans in Love" short).

Superhuman Metabolism: Starfire has nine stomachs as revealed in "Mother Mae-Eye".

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, being skilled enough to take down numerous Gordanian soldiers while her upper body was bound. She is also skilled in various fighting styles of hand-to-hand combat, such as kickboxing.

Archery Skills: She is also versed in some weaponry, using a short bow and arrow at one point in “Stranded” with little effort like Speedy.

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, as Robin learns; if she is feeling down or confused, her abilities become severely diminished.

Like all Tamaraneans, she is not immune to her own energy blasts. Using her self-sustenance and resistance to extreme temperatures takes a lot of energy so she 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. Although few have exploited it, Starfire's relationship with Robin can be counted sometimes as a weakness. Once, it was inadvertently exploited by Killer Moth when he wanted Robin to take Kitten to prom, which angered her beyond rational thought other than to protect Robin.

Like all Tamaraneans, Starfire's powers are controlled by her emotions. If she has certain feelings, she cannot use her powers. For example, when she was mad at Robin for offending her in "Stranded", she was unable to fly temporarily. Also, as Raven in "Switched", she was unable to use star bolts or fly for a while because she could not feel the joy or anger needed to use them.

It is also shown in "How Long is Forever?" and "Snowblind" that 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.

Blackfire dislikes her younger sister due to the fact that she sent her to prison then later dethroned on Tamaran, leaving the crown to Galfore (her adoptive father and caretaker). Blackfire always challenged Starfire to fights and believed herself to be better than her at everything, yet has defeated by her several times. After being dethroned, she was sent into exile with Glyrdsklechhh. Yet Starfire, being the forgiving person that she is, always seems willing to make peace with her no matter how many times Blackfire has wronged her for her own selfish ends.

Sometime later, an angry Blackfire is hired by Madame Rouge to toy with Starfire's feelings by masquerading as their long-lost younger brother, Wildfire. This attack ultimately failed and a furious Starfire finally snapped. Deeply hurt that Blackfire would even resort to staging their lost brother's "return" for the mere sake of revenge.

Silkie is Starfire's alien pet. Starfire's relationship with Silkie is like an adoptive mother-adoptive son relationship. Along with this information, Starfire and Silkie are very close, trusting and being loyal to each other. Starfire loves Silkie very very much and would get worried about him whenever she and he are separated. And just like Starfire and Raven, Silkie and Star have a very close bond and would often spend together (although there were not that many scenes with Starfire and Silkie together).

Silkie was created as Larva M3-19 by Killer Moth for use in an army of giant mutant moths to overthrow and dominate Jump City. However, Killer Moth had to set back certain parts of his plan when his spoiled daughter Kitten, angry about her recent abandonment by her boyfriend Fang, decided to blackmail Robin into becoming her date for her Junior Prom to make Fang jealous. The plan failed spectacularly, and upon the destruction of the moth control device by Robin, all the mutant moths reverted from adult into a harmless larva state. Taken by their cuteness, Beast Boy decided to keep one as a pet, but since the other Titans would not approve, he did so secretly.

This went well until the Titans returned from a clash with Johnny Rancid to find Titans Tower in shambles. Cornered, Beast Boy decided to confide in Starfire and entrusted the larva, whom he had named Silkie, into her care until the Titans' search for the culprit blows over. Starfire took an immediate affection to Silkie and agreed to take care of him, but in order to ease his hunger, she fed him Zorkaberries, a type of fruit from her home planet. The alien nature of the berries caused Silkie to grow to grotesque size almost instantly, and this, coupled with his tendency to eat anything which roused his appetite (which included the Tower's furnishings and Cyborg's leg), made him too hazardous to keep as a pet.

Starfire was forced to abandon Silkie on a deserted rock island, where he was promptly found by Killer Moth, mutated into his adult state yet again, and used as a steed in the villain's attack against the Titans. Starfire was reluctant to harm her beloved Silkie, even though he was harming her friends, and she attempted to persuade him to return to her, as did Killer Moth. The stress in his confusion over two conflicting loyalties caused Silkie to burst, literally. But in fact he only shed his adult body, somehow reverting back into a larva, and was retrieved by a jubilant Starfire, who managed to persuade Robin to accept him as a pet, on the proviso that she does not feed him more alien food. Silkie has resided in Titans Tower as the Titans' official pet and mascot ever since.

Silkie is usually a peaceful easygoing creature. However, he has a gluttonous appetite and will not hesitate to eat anything in its path even at the annoyance of others (though he never seemed to try to eat anybody besides Cyborg's leg). By his next appearances, he seems to have been tamed as he only eats regular food now. He is friendly towards others and seems relatively intelligent being able to understand what the others say. He is particularly affectionate towards Starfire as shown when she quickly bonded with him. He also shares a close bond with Beast Boy who raised him. However, when hurt or aggravated, he will attack whoever caused him harm. He can also be hurt when others abandoned or harm him such as when Killer Moth abused him while training him and when Starfire was forced to abandon him. This caused him to be divided between his loyalties to Killer Moth and Starfire, both of whom nurtured and hurt him though he eventually forgives and returns to Starfire's side.

In "For Real", he did not like being accused by Bumblebee of eating the wires that triggered an alarm (when the alarm was actually set off by Control Freak and she was using Silkie as an excuse) being hurt by the accusation, implying he is sensitive and dislikes being blamed for stuff he doesn't do. He can also be easily scared by dangerous events, though can just as easily be calmed down.

In both his larva and moth form, Silkie displays a bottomless appetite and can consume substances both edible and inedible to biological lifeforms, in the latter case including plastics and steel, in volumes far exceeding his size. As an adult moth, he also had the ability to fly, and as a gargantuan moth he could spit globs of a substance which consisted of saliva and zorkaberry residue.

The Tamaraneans are ruled by the Grand Ruler of Tamaran, the most recent one being Galfore, the caretaker of Princess Starfire. Blackfire is also a Princess of Tamaran (briefly Grand Ruler), and Wildfire is the Prince.

The nemesis of the Tamaraneans are the Gordanians, a reptile-like warrior race with whom the Tamaraneans have fought many conflicts. Princess Starfire was once surrendered to the Gordanians by Princess Blackfire as a bargaining chip so that the Gordanians would not invade Tamaran (and also because Blackfire sought to be rid of Starfire so she could rule Tamaran unopposed). Starfire has since escaped their custody and is now a member of the Teen Titans on Earth.

Many Tamaraneans are seen to wear clothes similar to Starfire, which consist of lavender and purple based garments. Royals are seen to wear an M shaped headband, such as Starfire did in "Go!" and Blackfire during her reign as Grand Ruler.

Tamaranean" is also the name of their spoken language. Tamaraneans are capable of learning foreign languages through lip contact, basic knowledge of which occurs almost instantly though the subtleties of the language may still elude them.

Known translations Starfire has been known to periodically use terms from her native vocabulary, mostly in lack for a comparable (and to her, unknown) Earth equivalent. Known words and their meanings include:

And'r: It is evident from Starfire and her family's names in English that this means 'fire.' Koriand'r (Starfire), Komand'r (Blackfire), Ryand'r (Wildfire). Kori: Means 'star,' see description for And'r above. Kom: Means 'black,' see description for And'r above. Ry: Means 'wild,' see description for And'r above. Bumgorf: A protegee or pupil, usually in need of a parent or guardian (k'norfka). Starfire often uses this term to describe Silkie. K'Norfka: A legal guardian of a bumgorf. Troq: A disparaging term meaning 'nothing,' as in being worthless/insignificant directed at Tamaraneans. G'luthnog: The Tamaranean equivalent for 'Gesundheit' or 'bless you'. Grebnacks: Tamaranean term for an unspecified body part, possibly the buttocks or breasts. Zarbnarf: True nature of the term unknown; used as Tamaranean equivalent for the derisive term "jerk" or "pain" (essentially, a bad person). Starfire says, "You are behaving like a royal zarbnarf!" Zolwarg Tubek-Plixing Zordmorker - Unknown meaning, but it possibly means something like an awful, arrogant person. Starfire described Atlas as being "Nothing but a ZOLWARG TUBEK-PLIXING ZORDMORKER!" Rutha: Weak or weakness. Clorbag Varblernek: Possibly a person who pulls mean pranks on others, or a substitute for English curse words. Grishnick: The Tamaranean equivalent for 'giving me the silent treatment' in terms of relationship. When Starfire wants to know more about her relation as both a girl and a friend to Robin, she says, "It appears the Grishnick has got your tongue."

Grimplork: Derisive term for a female, presumably in terms of relationship (i.e. a romantic rival). Once used by Starfire in reference to Kitten. Milnip Wusserloop: Name used towards Beast Boy. It is not stated if it is something good or bad; Starfire simply laughs and flies off when Beast Boy asks if the term means something good. Possible meaning is “Kind and funny” Grubfars: Type of Tamaranean currency. Used when asking Cyborg if he is okay. Instead of the term, "A penny for your thoughts" Starfire says, "For your thoughts, I will pay six Grubfars." Glubnorb: A deriding word used to describe Blackfire. Shlorvax/ Shlorvaccs: Dreams (Starfire says "Pleasant shlorvax" when everyone is saying goodnight to each other in 'Betrayed') Plinthorg: Term for type of long Tamaranean distance. Used in "Titan Rising" when following the first of Slade's metal "worms", Starfire says, "That evil worm has left a very long trail. This tunnel continues for at least two more plinthorgs." Mortu: Nostril. In "Song of the Dead" Starfire specifically refers to this as an Ancient Tamaranean word.

Cultural paraphernalia Blorthog: A celebration for the renewal and maintenance of close friendships. The opposition to Rekma. Zorkaberry: A bitter-tasting type of berry native to Tamaran. Grubtharks: A Tamaranean form of money. How comparable it is to the US dollar is unknown. Gorka pipe: A native Tamaranean instrument, similar to Scottish bagpipes. Normally plays very dissonant notes too disruptive for humans to bear. Glorrk: A Tamaranean dish incorporating dried Spudlings and Zorkaberries. Terra once commented that it tastes like sushi and ice cream put together, and it is apparently made from some sort of Tamaranean fungus. Klorthog: Some kind of annual festival, which has a day dedicated to it known as the "Day of Klorthog". Stewed Gruntmek: A Tamaranean dish which Cyborg describes as a "purple, wiggly pie full of bugs" and ate but resulted in him promptly vomiting. Rekma: The Drifting. A Tam

Tamaraneans are principally a warrior culture. Children are brought up to be tough and self-reliant; weakness is frowned upon. While personal affection is permissible, it apparently must not be shown in general public, or at least to strangers; Starfire mentions that only her guardian has ever shown her kindness. Table manners are based on an "all-you-can-get" principle, which to humans would be the equivalent of "pigging out". Strangely, aggressive tickles are a method of welcoming Tamaraneans on their return home.

Marriages among the citizens are apparently arranged, though this may simply be the case only for Tamaranean royalty and the noble classes.

It is considered wrong for an outsider to touch a crown princess of Tamaran, as revealed in "Betrothed".

Even though when Starfire first meets the rest of the Titans, she is fierce and aggressive, she quickly warms up and becomes quite perky. Despite the contradiction of the warlike themes of their culture, friendship is considered very important. In "How Long is Forever?", she tells them about Blorthog, the festival of friendship. They even have a term for the weakening of bonds and drifting apart of friends, rekma.

Blackfire is shown to be a tall slender beautiful girl. Blackfire has orange skin; angular almond shaped dark-violet eyes; and small, rounded, violet eyebrows and a small pointed nose. She appears to be wearing black eyeliner as well, or it could be that her eyelashes are naturally very thick. She also has shiny, straight, waist-length, black hair with short bangs.

Compared to Starfire's outfit, Blackfire's outfit acts more like full-body armor with a black crop top, mini-skirt and thigh-high boots. But this is considered as Tamaran's prisoner uniform, similar to the one Starfire wore in the episode Go!.

When going out with the other Titans, she wears her sister's spare clothes, which consists of a sleeveless violet crop top, a violet miniskirt, a silver belt, and thigh-high violet boots with silver soles and bands on the top. For armor, she wears a silver gorget with a round green gem embedded into it, silver bracers with round green gems over the backs of her hands, and a silver armband on her upper right arm.

When at the club, she has a hot pink neck-length wig on her head.

Starfire is said to be an incredibly pretty, lovely and beautiful girl. She is tall and slender with a slim statuesque lean modelike figure with an athletic yet well toned strong lightly muscled physique with visible tone and subtle definition and notably long legs bright orange golden tanned skin a petite oval shaped face with soft petite countours and delicate soft features and a slim pointed chin a petite jaw and high cheekbones with large round wide expressive bright green eyes with light-green scleras and long thick lashes a small petite small slightly upturned nose and small rounded red eyebrows and is usually smiling She has long very thick straight, shiny, waist-length, fiery- flaming dark red hair with short blunt bangs and a widow's peak.

Her 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.

As a Tamaranean, she has alien physiology, which includes a long violet tongue and nine stomachs (possibly for storing food during meager times). She also seems to resemble some Japanese girls, inheriting similar eyebrows and very shiny hair.

In "Date with Destiny", she wore a long purple dress to the prom, with white gloves and purple slippers to match.

In "Bunny Raven... or ...How to Make A Titananimal Disappear", she was transformed into a cat by the villainous Mumbo. Her eyes became feline-like, and she had a white underbelly and a tail. She also lost her hair and boots, but the rest of her outfit did not change.
