Angered at Lord Trogaar's promise of destruction, she yelled at Robin, reminding him that she told him to leave her alone. Having been tracked by the Titans, she reunited with them and fought off the wave of Gordanians sent to recapture her. Once fully released, she sought out food in the form of popcorn and candy at the local video store. (This falls in line with how Tamaraneans learn a spoken language through lip contact with another life form.) And then Cyborg said that she knows how to leave a mark. She grabbed and kissed him to learn the English language, and warned him to leave her alone if they do not wish to be destroyed. Carefully, he talked the mysterious girl down and took off the handcuffs. Raven suggested that fighting may not be the answer, and only then did Robin notice the handcuffs. While attempting to free herself of the handcuffs with which she had been laden, she ended up both destroying buildings and cars, and running into four young teenagers with whom she would later fight crime. Through the use of her innate Tamaraneansuperhuman strength and incredible agility, she broke free from the brig aboard a Gordanian ship and landed in Jump City. Starfire came to Earth as Koriand'r, a Tamaranean princess being transported by Gordanians, in exile as a slave to the Citadel. Starfire's only family of which we know in the series is her evil big sister Blackfire. Starfire was cared for as a child by Galfore, who first appeared in Betrothed. Because of this, Starfire is inherently the most sensitive member of the Titans. In fact, it's their emotions that further increase their natural abilities of flight, and projection of pure ultraviolet energy. The Tamaraneans are an emotional race who see feelings and sensations as the force that drives their very livelihood and strengthens their abilities. Starfire was born and raised on the distant planet Tamaran before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans. Starfire is particularly indignant to the point of snubbing her teammates when she believes they do not care for her friendship or company. She takes friendship very seriously, and is easily distressed when others, especially her friends, argue or fight. (For example, she did not understand what a boy meant when he asked if she was "diggin' the scene" when she was at a party, and stated, confused, "I did not know we were supposed to bring shovels.") This leads to much confusion for her and others, such as the awkwardness in casually drinking mustard as a beverage, and thinking cotton candy and cotton balls are the same thing. An alien and an outsider, she is still rather new to Earth and its customs. Despite her beauty, Starfire is cheerful, sweet, naive, and somewhat insecure, but her naivete is not to be mistaken for stupidity.
