At the Teen Titans panel at Comic-Con 2005 in San Diego, Sam Registerasked story editor Rob Hoegee if Robin and Starfire would ever kiss.
#Starfire height series#
Reflecting the comic books, the series hints at a potential relationship between Starfire and Robin. Although her naive and slightly overly friendly yet kind nature can sometimes clash with Raven's more secretive one, she has shown a close bond to her. Starfire takes friendship very seriously, and is easily distressed when others, especially her best friends, argue or fight. Starfire has a pet giant moth larva named "Silkie" in the series, given to her by Beast Boy.

Additionally, she uses several Tamaranean nouns. Presumably because English is not her first language, Starfire speaks without contractions and misuses idioms. She also insists on sharing her own customs with other members of the team. An alien and an outsider, she is still new to Earth and its customs, which serves as a recurring source of comic relief. This makes her inherently the most sensitive of the Titans. In sharp contrast to her forceful and hot-tempered counterpart, this kid-friendly version of Starfire is naive, innocent, and somewhat insecure, but it is this trait that endears her to others, especially to Robin. After winning and driving off her jailers, Starfire elects to stay on Earth with the four heroes and quickly develops genuinely pure and strong romantic feelings for Robin.Īs the show was geared towards a young demographic, her personality is changed drastically from the comics. After Robin aids her in taking off the "space cuffs" that bind her wrists, the Gordanians whom she escaped from show up looking for her and the Titans help her fight them off.

Starfire runs into Robin and the other soon-to-be Titans, but after being mistreated for so long, she is aggressive, antagonistic and does not trust the Titans or any one else for that matter. Eventually, she manages to escape and flees to the closest planet, which happens to be Earth. In the flashback episode "Go!", which tells of the founding of the Titans in their animated continuity, just before meeting the Titans, Starfire is shown being held prisoner as a "prize" by a group of Gordanian slave masters, working for an interstellar power known as the Citadel. Starfire's Titans character bears some similarities with her comic book version. She can absorb knowledge of basic spoken tongues and languages through lip contact. Sometimes her extremely strong Tamaranean abilities act beyond her control, such as releasing explosive bright green-colored energy blasts whenever she sneezes, as well as her superhuman strength accidentally bending a street light down to the ground. The animated Starfire also has the ability to travel faster-than-light without a ship, as well as the ability to survive in the vacuum of outer space for long periods of time. Unbridled joy sends her soaring among the clouds.

Boundless confidence greatly magnifies and enhances her superhuman strength while her starbolts are fueled by righteous fury. Her race is also highly resilient to radiation and the cold (though the longer she is outside, and the more exhausted she is, the more susceptible she is to sub-zero temperatures). Their feelings and emotions greatly strengthen and energize their natural abilities of faster-than-light flight (which does not produce a contrail), superhuman durability, endurance, strength, agility, reflexes, as well as Starfire's bright green-colored energy blasts called starbolts. Her race, the Tamaranians, are an emotional and feelingly alien race who see feelings and emotions as the supernatural life-force that drives their very livelihood. Starfire was born and raised on the distant planet Tamaran before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans. Elements of her storyline appear in different episodes spread across the show's five seasons, in which she deals with her archenemy and elder sister, Blackfire (also voiced by Walch), the duties and responsibilities of being a princess and future queen of her home world, and her insecurities about being an extraterrestrial being on Earth. Starfire appears in the Teen Titans animated series, voiced by Hynden Walch.
