Koriand’r was born the crown princess of Tamaran, a radiant world fueled by solar energy and warrior tradition. As the eldest daughter of the royal family, she was raised to rule — trained in diplomacy, combat, and the fierce pride of her people.
But Tamaran’s politics were cruel.
Her younger sister Komand’r — later known as Blackfire — grew jealous of Koriand’r’s destiny. When their world came under attack by the alien empire known as the Citadel, betrayal from within sealed Koriand’r’s fate.
She was sold into slavery.
For years she endured torture and experimentation at the hands of the Citadel. These brutal experiments unlocked her species’ latent ability to channel solar radiation into destructive energy — transforming her into a living weapon.
Eventually she escaped captivity in a stolen ship that crashed on Earth.
There she encountered a group of young heroes who would become her new family:
the Teen Titans.
