I HATE it when people (some Starfire fans) argue that it's better for Kory to leave the Titans, return to Tamaran and rule it. I ABSOLUTELY disagree with this statement.

Kory is a former slave, which she became out of "the good intentions of her father for the sake of protecting the people of Tamaran as a princess." she is the second heir to the throne after the Komand'r, and since childhood she has been taught responsibility for the people, she has been taught to always sacrifice herself for the people and neglect her interests, feelings and literally her life

she has been enslaved for the people since childhood, she was forced to part with the man she loves for the people, she she married an unloved man for the sake of the people, she left her home - the Earth - for the sake of the people, and she left people who REALLY loved and appreciated her, and whom she loved and appreciated – for the sake of the people. for most of her life, she did everything for others, she was always responsible for others, even after she got out of slavery and began to live on Earth, she continued to put the priorities of her people and parents above herself and her well-being, because this is what she was always taught and required to do. she is a princess, she must protect her people and do everything for the sake of the people of Tamaran, no matter how much damage it does to herself and no matter how ungratefully she is treated

would Kory have been a good ruler? most likely

would she like that? absolutely not.

Kory is the personification of freedom and a symbol of feminine strength and independence. she went through hell and did not break down, she gained this very freedom on Earth

she loves Tamaran, it's important to her, but to bind her to it and claim that in the role of ruler of Tamaran (which is literally another of her imposed "duties" from birth, as a representative of the royal family) it would be better for her = not to respect her and not to understand her character
