Starfire was born and raised on the distant planet Tamaran before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans. Her race, the Tamaraneans, are an emotional race who see feelings as the force that drives their very livelihood. Their emotions fuel their natural abilities of flight and superhuman strength, as well as Starfire's starbolts. Because of this, Starfire is inherently the most sensitive of the Titans[citation needed]. The animated Starfire also has the ability to travel faster-than-light without a ship (first mentioned in Divide and Conquer, and used in Transformation).<br />
<br />
<br />
Starfire's background also has some similarities with her comic version. In the flashback episode "Go!", which tells the founding of the Titans in their animated continuity, Starfire is held prisoner as a "prize" by a group of Gordanian slavers, working for an interstellar power known as the Citadel. She manages to escape and flees to the closest planet, which happens to be Earth. Starfire runs into Robin and the other soon-to-be Titans who help her fight off the Gordanian forces pursuing her. After the battle, Starfire elects to stay on Earth with the Titans.<br />

This version of Starfire is naïve and somewhat insecure, but her naivete is not to be mistaken for stupidity[original research?]; it is this trait that endears her to others, especially to Robin, who takes time out to explain the ways of Earth to her. An alien and an outsider, she is still new to Earth and its customs, which serves as a recurring source of comic relief. This leads to much confusion for her and others, such as the awkwardness in casually drinking mustard as a soft drink, or sleeping with her head hanging off the foot of the bed and her feet on the pillow. 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 nouns, such as "bumgorf" (term of endearment), "K'norfka" (parent or guardian), "klorbag" (insulting term), and "shlorvak" (dream). It's worth noting that in Go, Starfire was depicted as far more violent and cold then she was in the rest of the series[original research?]. <br />

Starfire has a pet giant moth larva named "Silkie" in the series, given to her by Beast Boy. Starfire takes friendship very seriously, and is easily distressed when others, especially her friends, argue or fight. Above all, she wishes to be friends with everyone she meets, and for everyone to get along[original research?]. Starfire will not, however, hold back on someone who threatens innocent bystanders or her teammates. Her usually optimistic and cheerful spirit also seem to be vital for the team's morale and coherence[original research?]; in "How Long Is Forever?", Starfire is stranded in an alternate future twenty years later, where she finds the Titans disbanded and in deep depression following her disappearance. <br />

In Teen Titans Go #46 (a comic book spin-off from the TV series), it is revealed that Starfire has a younger brother named Wildfire - presumed in this case to be Ryand'r in his animated incarn[color= - Avg. rating:
