Starr was born in Pensacola, Florida to her parents Ken and Ruth Wahpecome and she is an enrolled member of the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma and is of Muscogee ancestry.

The idea of Super Indian, Starr's first comic, started in Brisbane, Australia at an Indigenous Theatre Workshop where she thought of an idea of a Native American superhero. In 2007, Arigon wrote a ten-part radio comedy series for the Native Radio Theater Project and Native Voices at the Autry. The show was directed by William Dufris, in productions of Joseph A. Dandurand, and on Aboriginal Voices radio. She then began using all the scripts and prototypes that were used in the radio show to craft the beginnings of the comic. ^[10] When Starr first started the comic, she had very little knowledge of behind comic production and had only drawn comics as a child.^[11] She worked on the unpublished "Super Indian: Origins", a 23-page comic that closely follows the first episode of the radio series. She and her editor Janet Miner created Rezium Studios where she launched the "Super Indian" as a webcomic in April 2011. Starr posted a webcomic Monday with a few new panels every week. The two and a half stories that were published online eventually made up the first edition of Super Indian. Starr created the second volume of Super Indian in 2015 and is working on a third volume to be released in 2020.^[12][13]

Assisted by his trusty sidekicks Mega Bear and Diogi, they fight crime.
