Blackfire in the comic was born with some rare disease that meant she couldn't fly was and was limited in what usual Tamaranians can do. Carnage also occurred on that day and many associated Blackfire with that day.

Starfire was born and did not have the same thing her sister had and was given all rights to the throne when she turned old enough. Blackfire was enraged, her sister was clearly treated better and Starfire was portrayed a lot kinder in the Teen Titans show, in comics she wasn't malevolent at all or anything like that but still.

Now, with a little help from Wikipedia. She tried to kill Stafire during a sparring excercise, it was a custom on the planet. Blackfire was exiled, she joined the Citadel rose through the ranks, killed her family and wanted to get Starfire next.
