EVALUATION SUMMARY
for
STARFIRE
The subject was one of the original five Teen Titans. In fact, I believe it was the incident of her escaping from captivity by another extra-terrestrial race which caused the formation of the team. She stands six feet tall and weighs 135 pounds. She is approximately 18 years old. There is much about her of which we cannot be absolutely certain. She professes to be a princess from the planet Tamaran in the Rigell galaxy.
This issue, her provenance, is central to this evaluation. If we do not accept her version of her origins, then she is acting out a delusion. I would have no alternative but to find that a person acting out a delusion is an imminent danger to herself and the general public. But, the authorities on such matters, S.T.A.R. Labs and the Justice League accept her version of who she is. Furthermore, her appearance and abilities buttress that case. The subject has golden skin, purple-red hair and unusually large eyes. She is almost illogically strong for her slender figure and also has the ability to fly and throw "starbolts", powerful green balls of energy.
So, for the initial determination of this evaluation, I have accepted that the subject, the Teen Titan known as "Starfire" is, in fact, an extra-terrestrial. But this initial determination necessarily calls into question how effective any further evaluation of the subject can be.
Standards of right and wrong, norms of reasonable behavior by which we judge aberrant behavior are, unavoidably, those of people from earth with our physical constitution and its relation to our minds. And, as much as our cultures vary, there are many common threads running through most every culture here on earth. Someone from another planet could quite innocently behave in a fashion deemed utterly normal on her own world but from which behavior we infer instability of mind.
That said, the subject seems to invariably behave in a fashion consistent with all our standards of propriety as well as right and wrong. A warrior code of honor is prevalent on her planet which seems quite consistent with life as a Teen Titan. The ethical standards of right and wrong inculcated in her on her planet appear to be very similar to those expected of the Titans. The subject seems to be of at least average intelligence and understands our language with no difficulty. Though she is very emotional, I found no record in either her police file or a Nexis database search of any instance of her acting rashly due to uncontrolled emotion. I find no record of her ever committing a crime or harming an innnocent person. Rather, it seems that the subject uses her emotions as a catalyst to activate her powers and respond to the danger at hand.
Subject has one known blood relative, a sister from whom she is estranged, a condition about which the subject expresses regret, again evincing a framework of ethical thought consistent with our best standards. Subject seems to feel sincere empathy for the unfortunate and downtrodden. Subject seems to have achieved mature adult perspective and subject appreciates subtle moral distinctions.
Subject's power is threefold. As explained above, she is incredibly strong, has the power of flight from a sort of levitation or mental ability, and is able to create and throw powerful balls of energy at opponents. She does not seem to have any particular weakness in the application of her powers.
Most evaluations such as this would include a physical to determine if the subject suffers from a condition that may affect his outlook or judgement. But the subject's Tamaranian physical nature is such that evaluating any of her body's systems against established earth norms simply cannot be done.
This office became aware that as part of a series of S.T.A.R. Labs evaluations of the full and auxiliary members of the Teen Titans a physical evaluation of the subject, Starfire was conducted. As part of this office's due diligence in performing evaluations, a request was made to S.T.A.R. Labs for any data that could be released regarding the subject's physical condition and any possible effect it may have upon her state of mind.
As with previous requrests for data, S.T.A.R. Labs responded with a declaration that data concerning patients would not be shared and was protected by the same doctor-client privilege as psychological information. The full and total sharing of data by S.T.A.R. Labs was the following:
"Starfire:
age: approximately 18 years old
height: six feet
weight: 135 pounds
Starfire does not suffer from any physical ailment affecting her mind."
With the caveat that a psychiatrist's standards of evaluation were not developed for application to individuals not of this earth, in my best judgement, I find that the subject, Starfire, of the Teen Titans does not constitute a danger to herself or others.
