Scope: Official DC character profile and named adaptations

Quick answer

DC identifies Starfire as Koriand’r. A single exact age is not a reliable universal fact because Starfire appears in multiple continuities and official profiles do not provide one shared numeric age.

Starfire’s confirmed name and origin

DC’s official character profile gives Starfire’s real name as Koriand’r. It describes her as heir to the throne of Tamaran, later a refugee on Earth and a Titan. DC also lists her first comic appearance as DC Comics Presents #26 (1980). These are useful core facts because they come from the character publisher rather than a copied infobox.

Spellings, styling and nicknames can vary across adaptations, but a basic profile answer should begin with Koriand’r and Tamaran. It should not add an invented civilian name, a fan calculation, or a biography detail that belongs only to one television or game version.

Why there is no single official age

Searchers often ask for a single number. DC’s character profile does not publish one universal numerical age for Starfire, and the character appears in separate comics, animation, films and live action. A number calculated from publication dates, a visual impression, or an unsourced fandom timeline is not automatically a fact for all of those versions.

The live-action Titans page, for example, presents its own gritty coming-of-age adaptation with Anna Diop in the cast. Its Kory is not a license to apply every detail from the 2003 animation or a comics issue to the same continuity. The same principle holds in reverse.

How to answer an age question responsibly

If the question names a title, look for a source tied to that title. If it does not, the accurate answer is that the publisher confirms Koriand’r’s identity and Tamaranean background but does not give one shared age. That may sound less dramatic than an exact number, but it avoids giving readers a false certainty.

How this reference is built

Primary DC sources anchor core facts. Adaptation-specific episode material is identified by title, and fan wikis are never copied as prose or artwork.
