| + | ===Origin=== | ||
| + | '''Koriand'r''' was a female Tamaranean who was born to the '''House of Tykayl''' of the planet [[Tamaran]]. A daughter of King '''Myand'r''', she was noted for being a Princess of her her home planet and set to rule it. (New Teen Titans v1 #3) She was said to had born at dawn where she had an older sister named '''Komand'r''' who hated Koriand'r and despised her existence. Whilst growing up, her pet Dror was found dead with Koriand'r believing that her sister had killed the animal but she claimed it was already deceased when she found it. This saw tensions between the two sisters over the years with this only magnifying as Starfire enjoyed the use of her powers whilst her sister lacked the typical abilities of a Tamaranean. The growing conflict between the sisters was not noticed as Tamaran was engaged in a war against the invading [[Citadel (DC)|Citadel]] but during one celebration they found Koriand'r to have injuries inflicted on her by Komand'r. For years afterwards, the two acted as strangers to one another despite living in the same palace where during this time they gained a younger brother named [[Darkfire (DC)|Ryand'r]]. By this point, the threat of the Citadel meant that the royal family believed that their daughters would benefit from combat training to fight against the enemy. Thus, they were sent to study amongst the [[Warlords of Okaara]] where they travelled to the planet [[Okaara]]. (Tales of the New Teen Titans v1 #4) | ||

| + | |||
| + | It was then that her powers went out of control leading to her causing havoc on the streets. She would later learn that this was because of the machinations of the Gordanians who had returned to Earth to capture Koriand'r on behalf of their employer Blackfire. They came to succeed despite the intervention of the Teen Titans who then planned to retrieve Starfire. Meanwhile, Komand'r tortured her sister and had the defences of the Gordanian ship deal with the Teen Titans who were seemingly killed as they were spaced through an airlock in an effort to further torture Koriand'r.

| + | At Titan’s Tower Nightwing and Starfire met in the hot tub, discussing how the Titans was their only outlet to be themselves. They also discussed the Sons of Trigon nudging them to sleep together, and Nightwing had a hope they’d resume being lovers. Starfire told him she was tired of them cycling back and forth between lovers and friends, and asked if he unconditionally loved her, and wanted to be with her. Nightwing honestly answered no, and after she kissed him, she told him they had to stay just friends. Beast Boy told the Titans that the Sons of Trigon had taken Raven, and that she’d been recruited to her father’s cause. Troia told the Titans that Raven had always planned for the worst, and given her a Ramat Stone that could locate magic-users. Beast Boy wanted to know why Troia was chosen to keep Raven’s secrets, and she replied that in addition to being the most magically adept Titan, she’d also proved that she’d never judge Raven. The Titans concentrated on the stone and Raven, and were transported to Trigon’s dimension. They met the rest of the Sons of Trigon, Greed, Gluttony, and Sloth, and were defeated. Raven turned against her brothers, proclaiming herself Pride, the sin from which all others sprung. She wanted to rule the Earth, but with the Titans at her side, and began imbuing them with the powers of the Seven Deadly Sins. This activated the Ramat Stone, Raven had given it a sliver of her pure essence, and the Raven that was loyal to the Titans emerged and merged herself with her demonic counterpart and returned the team to Titan’s Tower. Raven was starting to feel more like herself, ut told the Titans that the Ramat Stone wouldn’t work twice, and that she might me evil to the core. She presented her teammates with a set of magic talismans capable of ending her life if she wet to the dark side, and demanded that they learn to master them if she was to be comfortable on the team. Titan’s Tower security was breached, and the team responded, only to find that Superboy’s clone Match had broken in. The villain revealed that he was Jericho, trapped inside Match’s body.
