Starfire (Teen Titans)

Starfire, sometimes Star (real name Princess Koriand'r) is one of the four deuteragonists of the 2003 animated series Teen Titans and the movies Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo and ''Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans.'' She's an alien princess from the distant world of Tamaran, and one of the five founding members of the Teen Titans. She is also Robin's main love interest and finally becomes his girlfriend in the series finale movie.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) Starfire helped the Titans for years, working alongside the other four to protect Jump City from various menaces.
 * 2) During the times her sister, Blackfire, comes back, she won’t hesitate to fight her when Blackfire does something wrong, like when Blackfire stole items and tried to frame her, and when Blackfire took over their home planet. Starfire managed to win both times.
 * 3) Starfire has a pretty interesting backstory. She was raised by her family on her home planet, Tamaran. Later, she was traded as a slave to the Citadel in order to bring peace to a war-torn Tamaran. She later managed to escape and with the help of meeting the Titans on Earth, defeated the Citadel.
 * 4) Hynden Walch did a great job voicing her.
 * 5) Starfire is the most sensitive member of the Titans, as she’s mostly portrayed as very happy to her friends and tries to make sure they don’t fight. She’s not afraid to show off her fighting spirit whenever she fights bad guys.
 * 6) She is able to make some good choices, like when she made Galfore the ruler, knowing he would be a good ruler, and knowing she herself would be unfit as a ruler, since her heart is now set on Earth and her friends.
 * 7) Her relationship with Robin is good and cute, and it managed to grow as the series went on. It became the main focus of Trouble in Tokyo, when they become a couple by the end of the movie.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, Starfire can be too emotional, and that can get annoying at times.
 * 2) Out of all the main characters, Starfire never got a whole season focused on her, the Trouble in Tokyo movie notwithstanding.

Trivia

 * Like Raven, Starfire technically goes by her real name instead of a superhero alias like the males on the team. Since ”Koriand'r” is just her Tamaranean name in English.
 * Her outfit is fairly different from her comic counterpart, being much less revealing in consideration of the younger audience. It is changed to a purple two-piece attire instead of a very skin revealing monokini.
 * In almost all her appearances, Starfire is animated without a navel, even though her animation sheet shows her with one.
 * She is 156 years old in Tamaranean years.
 * Although she was freed from the clutches of the Gordanians and the Citadel, her memories of her imprisonment still haunt her: upon seeing The Creature from Jones Lake, she screams in terror—possibly due to its resemblance to a Citadelian.
 * Starfire is allergic to metallic chromium, (allergies to chromium are very common in Tamaran). It could be possible that Blackfire is allergic to it as well.
 * In the episode "Mother Mae-Eye", Starfire stated she has 9 stomachs, which may explain why she eats so much.
 * She and Cyborg are the only Titans that Slade never taunted.
 * According to Starfire, Tamaran's folk song consists mostly of screaming, which annoys Cyborg to no end.
