'''Starfire''' is a [[superhero]]ine created by [[Marv Wolfman]] and [[George Pérez]] appearing in [[American comic book]]s created by [[DC Comics]]. She debuted in a [[DC Comics insert previews|preview story inserted]] within ''[[DC Comics Presents]]'' #26 (October, 1980). Since the character's introduction, Starfire has been a major recurring character in [[Teen Titans]] and various other iterations of the team, sometimes depicted as the team's leader, and a significant love interest for [[Dick Grayson]].

Within the main continuity of the [[DC Universe]], her origin is revealed to be '''Princess Koriand'r''', an [[Extraterrestrials in fiction|alien]] princess from the planet Tamaran and heir to the throne until she was ousted in a coup by her elder sister, [[Blackfire (DC Comics)|Komand'r]] (also known as Blackfire), who sold her into slavery. Subjected to [[torture]] and [[Sexual slavery|sexual exploitation]], Koriand'r was also subjected to experiments performed by alien scientists, which gave her additional powers. Escaping her captors, she found herself on Earth and befriended the Teen Titans, becoming a long-lasting member of the team.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Starfire {{!}} Official DC Character |url=https://www.dc.com/characters/starfire |access-date=2024-07-15 |website=DC |language=en-US |archive-date=2024-07-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240715021028/https://www.dc.com/characters/starfire |url-status=live }}</ref> The character has appeared on several other teams, including the [[Outsiders (comics)|Outsiders]], [[Red Hood and the Outlaws|Outlaws]], and [[Justice League Odyssey]]. While on Earth, the character has been depicted as a model under the alias '''Kory Anders''', occasionally the leader of the Teen Titans, and was the [[Head teacher|principal]] of [[Teen Titans|Teen Titans Academy]] during a period in which the Titans help trained future superheroes of the DC Universe.

Within television, she is notably voiced by [[Hynden Walch]] in the animated series ''[[Teen Titans (TV series)|Teen Titans]]'' and ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]''.
