Starfire
Princess Koriand'r

Mid to late twenties

Female

Kori is a very attractive young woman. She has classic facial features and padding in all the right places. She stands tall at six foot one. She has the orange skin tone common to Tamarans. She also has bright green eyes with no pupils. When she is exceptionally emotional or using her powers, her eyes glow. She has very, very long red hair. When she uses her powers it appears trails off into flames. However this is merely an illusion.

Tamaraneans have different physiology from Terrans. Due to her race she has certain powers:

• Energy Absorption: Tameraneans can absorb solar energy from birth. The ultraviolet radiation is what powers their other natural abilities. Kori can also absorb the ultraviolet radiation from other life forms. This energy subsitutes all need for air, water, food and sleep. Though Kori does enjoy all of those things.
• Flight: Tameraneans convert their ultraviolet radiation into pure energy which they use to fly. Their flight leaves behind a distinctive trail, much like a comet. Kori's trail emanates from her red hair.
• Superhuman Durability
• Superhuman Strength
• Space Travel: Tameraneans, Kori included, can also use their power to fly through space not just on their planet. Kori's speed in space is extremely fast. Almost as fast as a Green Lantern can travel.
• Lingustic Assimilation: Through physical contact a Tameranean is able to absorb the language of the touched individual.

Kori also received powers from her time as a prisoner of the Psions

• Starbolts: While in the hands of the Psions they preformed experiments upon her. A result of one of them are her Starbolts. The ability to channel her absorbed energy into highly concentrated solar energy blasts. She can also releases all her energy at once in a quasi-nova blast but it's uncontrollable so she has never resorted to it.

Other than her extraordinary abilities Kori is a a skilled warrior due to her own natural abilities

• Hand-to-Hand Combat: Kori was trained by the Warlords of Okaara, the best fighters in the Vegan System.

Kori was the middle child of the royal family. Her older sister, Komand'r, was the successor of the Tameran throne. Or would have been had she not been plagued by a disease. A disease so terrible it had no name but robbed the unfortunate soul of their natural ability to convert ultraviolet radiation into energy. Komand'r was flightless. And so it was decided that Komand'r could not be a successor and the title passed to Kori. This created the tension and hatred between the two sisters. Komand'r resented her sister for being what she could not. When the two young girls were sent to the Warlords of Okaara to learn the art of War and the Humanities Komand'r's resentment grew and grew.

Kori took the the training very well. She absorbed it like a sponge. Unlike her sister who struggled. Then one day Komand'r was no where to be found. Kori worried for her sister but continued her training with the Okaara. She had her duty to her people. A while passed until she was recalled by her father to Tameran. He didn't tell her what for and Kori hoped with all her heart that nothing was wrong.

Upon arrival at the palace Kori learned the terrible truth. Tameran had been attacked by the Citadel! The Citadel were conquerors. They had enslaved twenty one planets in the Vega system and now they had apparently subdued beautiful Tameran. In exchange for the Citael for not enslaving the defeated Tameran they handed over Kori to them. It was only then she learned of her sister's involvement. How Komand'r had betrayed Tameran to the Citadel because of Kori. And they both paid the price dearly.

For six years Kori and Komand'r were tormented and tortured by the Citadel. When they finally released them it was only to give her over to the Psions. The Psions were cruel scientists who reveled in pain and unethical experiments. They wanted to see how much energy the Tameraneans could absorb until they blew up, amongst other tests and experiments. One of the last experiments the Psions ever preformed on Kori was the one where they gifted her with her Starbolts. With her new powerful weapon Kori broke free and killed her Psion captors.

Kori was tempted after her escape not to free her sister also, but her love and mercy couldn't let her. She set Komand'r free from her torture. But instead of being grateful Komand'r used her new abilities to nearly kill Kori and restrained her for execution. But Kori wasn't helpless. She took the first opportunity she could to escape. That escape lead her to Earth and Dick Grayson.

The two fell into a whirlwind romance after the young woman kissed him to learn his language. Kori knew in her heart that Dick would be her true love. She also grew to know that Dick didn't seem to feel the same. Her fears came true after their almost wedding where they broke off their relationship. Kori was devastated but she loved Dick enough that she would let him go.

Without Dick Kori's mind turned more and more to the planet of her birth. Earth was a nice place, but it was no Tameran. People were so uptight. They hid their feelings and didn't follow their passions. She felt constrained here and the feeling wasn't pleasant after years of captivity. But she didn't feel safe returning to Tameran. Her sister was out there somewhere searching for her, of that she had no doubt. And her family wouldn't protect her. They'd proven that before when she was only a young girl.

Yet Tameran called to her. She tried to push the pull away but with her denial of her feelings came guilt. She was acting more like a human ignoring her feelings. With that realization Kori returned to Tameran. Upon arrival she realized Tameran was at peace. Her sister was ruler of Tameran and while her initial rise to power had been barbaric the young woman had changed her ways and was now a just ruler. Even her mother and father supported her as Queen.

Kori was beyond thrilled that her family was back together. There was even a new addition in the form of a little brother, Ryand'r. Kori had no plans to return to Earth. She was home and things were finally okay. She even feel in love and married Ph'yzzon, a general. Then the worst came again. Not even a year later Tameran was attacked by the Psions. Both Kori and Ph'yzzon lead the armies against the scientists. But to no avail. Ph'yzzon died. Tameran was imploded. What was left of her people scattered to the stars.

Kori was adrift, literally and figuratively, she had no home and her love left her again. As she floated in the void of space she came to realize she did have someone to return to. Earth.

After returning to Earth Kori quickly learned the news of the League's disappearance. They were a major force in stopping her re-abduction after her escape all those years ago. Seeing the loss resonated deeply in the Tameran who had just lost her world. She couldn't let this one fall either.

Kori is a heavy hitter. She also is a skilled leader and tactician who has both formal training and real life experience.

Kori is bi-sexual.
Currently she is crashing at Donna's place because she hasn't reestablished herself on Earth.
