We're not born good or bad. The choices you make define your destiny. Trigon chose darkness. I have to choose what my future holds. You will, too.
―Kor Anders to Rachel Roth

Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran, simply known as Kory, known on Earth as Kory Anders, and codenamed Starfire, is one of the deuteragonists of DC Universe and HBO Max television series Titans.

She is an Tamaranean princess and assassin from the planet of Tamaran, the daughter of Myand'r and Luand'r, the older sister of the supervillain turned anti-hero Komand'r (Blackfire), a member of the second incarnations of Titans and one of the love interests of Dick Grayson.

On Earth, she was sent to destroy an entity known as "the Raven" to prevent the destruction of her homeworld by hindering the arrival of the inter-dimensional demon Trigon through use of his half- human daughter Rachel Roth. However, after suffering from amnesia, Kory unknowingly befriended her target after saving her from the Nuclear Family and even protecting her. After the defeat of Trigon, Starfire became a member of the Teen Titans while suffering from visions that would lead her to her sister and discover a terrible truth.

Biography[]

Background[]

Princess Starfire was born on Tamaran into the Tamaranean Royal Family to Queen Luand'r and King Myand'r. When she was born, it was during a great upheaval; unfortunately, Koriand'r did not inherit the royal ability to generate pyrokinetic powers, which was usually a telltale of a person's birthright. Fearful of an uprising, Myand'r lied and told his subjects that Koriand'r indeed had these abilities. However, when Koriand'r's sister, Komand'r was born, she was born with the fire ability, showing her younger sister was the true heir. To maintain their lie Koriand'r had fire, Myand'r and Luand'r forced a Tamaranean priestess to transfer Komand'r's powers over to Starfire In order to maintain the lie. Despite the priestess's warning, the parents went through with their plans despite the consequences. As a result, while Starfire grew up to be the more beloved and successful of the royal sisters, Komand'r grew up as an outcast and everyone, even her own sister teased her for not having fire powers. Despite their negative relationship, Kory and Komand'r were well educated and surrounded by servants. One of Koriand'r's educator was a woman named Zadira, who trianed her to be a warrior.

There was also a time where Koriand'r committed an illegal act becoming romantically involved with a royal guard named Faddei. The discovery of this was exposed by Komand'r and led to the end of their relationship and public scrutiny.
