Princess Koriand'r was born on the planet Tamaran, which is located in the [[Vega]] system. Koriand'r was the second of three children. Her older sister, Komand'r was the first in the line of succession, but she was crippled by a childhood illness that robbed her of her natural Tamaranean ability to convert ultraviolet light into flight energy. Therefore, she was deemed unworthy to be queen and the succession fell to Koriand'r. When both sisters were sent to train with the legendary Warlords of Okaara, the bitter Komand'r ran off, allying herself with the Citadel. They used Komand'r's information to successfully invade Tamaran, and King Myand'r turned Koriand'r over to the Citadel to ensure peace.
Koriand'r spent living in the Citadel for six years under physical and emotional torture, even sexual abuse, until she and Komand'r were both captured by the [[Psion (comics)|Psions]]&nbsp;for experimentation. Widely known to be a sadistic scientific extraterrestrial race, the Psions performed a deadly experiment on both sisters to see just how much energy their Tamaranean bodies could absorb before exploding from the overload. During the procedure, forces loyal to Komand'r attacked the Psion ship to rescue her, and while the Psions were distracted, Koriand'r broke free using her new ability of starbolts (destructive blasts of solar energy) acquired through experimentation. Against her better judgment, she decided to free Komand'r who was still absorbing energy. However, far from grateful, Komand'r struck her sister down with the same - but much stronger - starbolt power and had her restrained for later execution. Koriand'r escaped and eventually found her way to Earth, where she gained the help of the Teen Titans.

===New life on Earth and as a member of the Teen Titans===
Starfire would join the new iteration of the Teen Titans with [[Dick Grayson|Robin]], [[Donna Troy|Wonder Girl]], [[Wally West|Kid Flash]], [[Cyborg (DC Comics)|Cyborg]], [[Beast Boy|Changeling]] and [[Raven (DC Comics)|Raven]]. The first adventure she had with her teammates was battling against Grant Wilson aka the [[Ravager (DC Comics)|Ravager]], the son of the mercenary [[Deathstroke|Deathstroke The Terminator]], who was gifted enhanced abilities like his father due to the experiments by the terrorist organization [[H.I.V.E.]]. She would also aid the Titans by protecting the planet Earth and the dimension of Azarath from the demon [[Trigon (comics)|Trigon The Terrible]], and battling against various supervillains including the [[Fearsome Five]], Brother Blood and the former members of the Brotherhood of Evil, [[Madame Rouge]], and [[General Zahl]].

At one point, she became a successful super model under her human alias "Kory Anders". She dated and fell in love with a human man named Franklin Crandall. Crandall turned out to be a freelance spy working for&nbsp;H.I.V.E.&nbsp;, and was eventually killed because he decided he truly loved Starfire and couldn't betray his feelings towards her. Starfire attempted to kill the H.I.V.E. agent who committed the murder, but was stopped by Wonder Girl.

Starfire was also romantically linked with Dick Grayson (aka Robin, later Nightwing) in various runs of ''Teen Titans''.

===''Starfire''===
In 2015, Starfire received a self-titled series where she returns to Earth and moves to [[Key West]]. Additionally, she adopts Syl'Khee, a worm-like alien based on [[Silkie (Teen Titans)|Silkie]]. She desired to experience a normal human life and appeared to have no interest in heroism or her former life. She befriended the local Sheriff,&nbsp;Stella Gomez, who helped her find a place to live and constantly dealt with Kori's naiveté regarding human culture. Kori also got to know Stella's widowed brother, Sol (who happened to bear a striking resemblance to Dick Grayson), and later began dating him. Starfire later met&nbsp;Atlee, a waitress who was secretly a super-powered woman from a civilization living below the Earth's surface. Despite no longer wanting be a hero, trouble continued to find Kori in her new home and she was forced to defend Key West from various threats. After a trip to Atlee's home, Starfire decided that she should once again use her powers to help others. She left her friends in Key West and tried her hand at being a hero once again.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hemingway |first=Reggie |date=February 12, 2016 |title=''Starfire'' #9 Review and **SPOILERS** |url=https://www.weirdsciencedccomics.com/2016/02/starfire-9-review-and-spoilers.html |access-date=December 4, 2024 |website=Weird Science DC Comics |language=en}}</ref>
