Hey there,
coming back to our little Starfire rant
:
Me too, I like her TV-design - and trying to combine the two of her designs gives me lotta fun! I just like to redesign a lot.
I can't agree with you on the TV-version's personality being bad and "borderline retarded" though. It's a cartoon for children and cartoon heroes need to be over-the-top for the convention's sake. TT GO! was never meant to be the second Justice League I think.
That said, I loved Star's personality in the cartoon. It was that cartoon that brought me to the comic version of TT so yeah. Can't say a bad word here.
About the hair being the source of her nickname, I don't know. I remember Donna or someone saying that they've named her after her starbolts. But I'm not sure :>
See ya~
