Newbie with Question on AU Background

I am a complete newbie to the game and I have a question. I'm planning on apping this girl here, Starfire from DC Comics (80's version). However, I was wondering what other people had done for alien characters since she is by no means human (just humanoid). So I was wondering what possibilities there are for her AU background that fit in the setting. If anyone wants her canon bio for more information about her specifically, just let me know.

Cecil here is from the Moon. Well, half from the moon. Although I don't think she quite has the look of a Moonfolk. Being an Alien of some sort is definitely viable if you want to go that route, or she can be from an exotic locale in the main setting. I'm not particularly familiar with the character so what are her general traits/abilities?

Waka-mun here, yeah there's a group of Moonfolks, though I took the Okami route where the majority of them had been killed by monsters centuries ago, leaving only a small amount free.

Alternative to the moon would be from the Fae Courts. I used to play an Eldar here, which are totally aliens that look like humans. Starfire could be from one of those.

Also worth thinking of is just not AUing Starfire. Have her be a space alien that landed in Dagaria, if the mods will let you. I was considering the Blue Beetle ages ago and was going to use that for the source of the scarab.

(I don't know Starfire very well but DC represent *brofist*)
