Corrin (FE) (F)

Corrin, also known as Avatar and Kamui, is one of the main protagonists from the Fire Emblem series.
== Charactah Account ==
A youth born into the Hoshidan royal family, but raised by the Nohrian royal family: she become the key to the interaction between both kingdoms, and their decisions will shape the plot as a whole.
Oddly charismatic and easily attracts others. Conceals elusive power. The one with the most hidden potential in the army.
Corrin is a kind person who cares deeply for the people they love and will come to the aid of anyone who should ask them for it, rapid-firing apologies if they do something to upset others, likely inheriting this habit from their father. Despite having been sheltered throughout all of their childhood, they are quite social and conversational, as well as persuasive to the point of convincing some enemy soldiers to join their cause. Aside from being unusually charismatic and attracting people to them, Corrin is also mentioned to have a way with animals, as it is said the horses in the stables like them. As they spent the majority of their time growing up within the walls of the Northern Fortress, Corrin is very curious about the outside world, and quite eager to come across new sights. As proven by their support conversations with Silas, however, this trait of theirs has somewhat diminished over time. Corrin is often shown to be very curious and nosy about the members of their army and desires to make friends with their allies, even if they attempt to push them away (such as Beruka, who they still desire to befriend despite her threats, Hana, who despises them for thinking they caused Sakura's sadness and Rinkah, who chooses to isolate herself from the rest of her allies, preferring to be in her own company in that of being in others, despite Corrin saving her life). For the most part, the gender of Corrin does not impact their personality as a whole, however, the male is more laid-back and sweet in his unique supports, while the female is peppier and feisty in hers. Corrin is also shown to have a tendency to oversleep unintentionally.

== Trivia ==
* Both Corrin's official artwork depicts them wielding Yato.
* In the English and Japanese versions of the game, Corrin shares their voices with other characters.
** Male Corrin shares his English voice with Arthur, Hinata, and Anankos's human form and Yuri Lowenthal with Ricken from Awakening, Kiragi and Marth.
** Female Corrin shares her English voice actresses Marcella Lentz-Pope with Scarlet, Danielle Judovits with Mitama, Female Kana, and Lilith and Stephanie Lemelin with Rinkah and Reina.
** Both Corrins share their Japanese voice actors, Nobunaga Shimazaki and Satomi Sato, with both genders of Kana.
* If Corrin is male, there will be an equal amount of male and female royal siblings (5 males and 5 females). However, if Corrin is female, the majority amount of royal siblings will be female (4 males and 6 females).
* Corrin is the series' first non-human protagonist.
* Corrin's dragon form may be based off of the Qilin, a Chinese dragon that has deer-like antlers and the body/hooves of a deer, ox or horse.
* Male Corrin in Fates is the second male unit in the series capable of wielding Dragonstones, after Bantu.
** Both genders of Corrin are the only Avatar characters as well as Lord characters that are able to use Dragonstones.
* While Female Corrin can freely reclass into all non-special classes in Revelation using nothing but Friendship Seals, Male Corrin does not have this ability as the Oni Savage and Apothecary classes are not available to them without having to marry a character who has the classes or have the classes as their secondary class.
* Rhajat implies in her Japanese support with Corrin that they are Robin's previous incarnation, and that she is a previous incarnation of Tharja and so she promised to fall for them at first sight and love them eternally.
* Corrin's default name in the Japanese version is shared with Kamui from Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
* The original official artwork of Female Corrin shows her having two left feet. This is most likely an overlooked error. The artwork on the official website was later modified to show the correct feet.
* According to Kozaki, Corrin was given bare feet due to the animalistic impression he had after hearing of their strong ties to dragons, along with creating a "hook" for players equivalent to other characters in the game.
* Depictions of Male Corrin in marketing and other media typically depict him as a Hoshido Noble while Female Corrin is a Nohr Noble. This holds true for the box art of Fire Emblem Fates Birthright (featuring Male Corrin) and Conquest (featuring Female Corrin). These depictions are carried over into Fire Emblem Heroes and Fire Emblem Warriors as well, where Male and Female Corrin bear default classes aligning them respectively with Hoshido and Nohr.
** In the Cipher trading card game, Male Corrin is often shown as a Hoshido Noble, while Female Corrin is often shown as a Nohr Noble. In third series of the trading card game, the master cards of Male Corrin depict him as a Nohr Noble and Female Corrin is depicted as a Hoshido Noble.
*** In both the second and third series of Fates' characters in the Cipher trading card game, Male Corrin is always shown with his Hoshido siblings, and Female Corrin is always with her Nohr siblings. This alignment holds true even for cards that depict the siblings as classes otherwise exclusive to their rival nation.
** In Fire Emblem Warriors, Female Corrin promotes into a Nohr Noble while Male Corrin promotes into a Hoshido Noble. Both versions have DLC costumes that swap their respective national representation.
** This alignment also holds true for both genders of Kana in the Heirs of Fate DLC - Female Kana (Male Corrin's daughter) follows Hoshidan characters, uses Noble/Blazing Yato and is a Hoshido Noble in later parts, while Male Kana (Female Corrin's son) follows Nohrian characters, uses Grim/Shadow Yato and is a Nohr Noble in later parts.
** In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the Male Corrin Amiibo unlocks Alight (Storm), a Hoshidan-aligned music, while the Female Corrin Amiibo unlocks A Dark Fall (Fire), a Nohrian-aligned music.
* Corrin is the first Lord character and Avatar in the series to have a branching promotion from their base class, though only in the Revelation route.
* Female Corrin came in 1st in the Nintendo Official Popularity Poll for females while Male Corrin came in 5th for males.
** Corrin came 3rd in the character popularity poll issued by Nintendo Dream.
** Female Corrin of Fates is the only Avatar in the series to place first in an official popularity poll.
** Female Corrin came in 5th for females in the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends popularity poll. She had 19,599 total votes. Male Corrin came in 21st place for males and had 7,691 total votes.
* In The Making of Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Book early concept art show that Corrin at one point was going to have the Nohrian royal color scheme but was scrapped for the black and silver color scheme instead. This early concept also depicted Corrin with longer ears similar in length to Tiki's.
** The designer and development team apparently had trouble deciding Corrin's hair color; white hair was their first choice but was changed to black (which they likely inherited from their mother Mikoto) before reverting back to the original default hair color.
* With 89 in-game support conversations (69 normal/romantic supports and 20 children supports), Female Corrin has the highest number of unique conversations out of all characters in Fates and the Fire Emblemfranchise as a whole.
* Corrin is the only first-party DLC Newcomer in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
** They are also the only DLC character with gender variants.
** They are the only Fire Emblem representative to not enter a stage via a Warp circle.
** While Fates was released in Japan prior to Corrin's release, Corrin is one of the few characters to debut in Smash internationally prior to their flagship game's release; Marth, Roy, and Lucas are the others.
** Female Corrin's tights were altered in Smash 4 to cover her inner thighs, likely to maintain Smash 4'sESRB rating of E10+.
*** Despite her change in Smash 4, her Fates' official artwork is still unchanged in Ultimate. This is most likely an oversight.
* Male Corrin can have an S-Support with the also Male Niles, while Female Corrin can S-Support the also Female Rhajat. This makes them the first lead characters of the series who can potentially marry characters of the same gender.
** Unlike the Japanese version, the English version supports between both genders are identical to one another.
* Corrin has three unique critical quotes depending on which route you take.
** This makes Corrin the only character in Fates with more than 4 critical quotes.
*** This also makes them the only Avatar units and Lord units with more than 4 critical quotes.
* Corrin has the most retainers out of both royal families, having 5. They are Felicia, Flora, Jakob, Gunter and Kaze (if an A-Support is achieved.)
** Due to the passing of some of these characters, Corrin can have at most three retainers as Gunter does not appear at all in Birthright, Flora will not join the Hoshidan Army and commits suicide in Birthright and Kaze will sacrifice himself if A support (at least) is not obtained in Birthright. So in Birthright, Corrin can have Jakob, Felicia, and possibly Kaze. And in Conquest and Revelation, they can have Jakob, Felicia, Kaze, Gunter and Flora as retainers.
* The eyebrows of both Male and Female Corrin will always be black regardless of what hair color the player chooses.
* Despite their aversion towards intense violence and killing due to them being pacifist, Corrin has occasionally had to kill their enemies due to not having any others options to safely contain them at the time. However, Hans, Iago and Garon are the only ones that Corrin is willing to kill without remorse or hesitation.
* The Fire Emblem Fates Drama CD reveals that Female Corrin is afraid of bugs.
* Super Smash Bros. amiibo figures for both genders of Corrin were announced on December 15, 2015 but didn't release to retail until July 21, 2017. The Corrin amiibo, as well as the Bayonetta and Cloud amiibo, hold the current record for the the longest period between an amiibo figure's initial announcement and subsequent retail release.
* The female version of Corrin (Nohrian Summer) is the winner of the fifth Voting Gauntlet (Battle at the Beach) in Fire Emblem Heroes. This victory also made her the first Avatar unit to have won the Voting Gauntlet.
* Unlike the other royal siblings, Corrin shares a critical quote, "This ends now!", with only one of their retainers, that being Gunter. They also shares that quote with Kana.
** Furthermore, Corrin also shares the phrase "You won't stop me!" and "I won't surrender!" with Kana, due to being parent and child. However, regardless of path chosen, Kana does not use any phrases such as "For Hoshido!", "For Nohr!", and "I make my own fate!".
* In Heroes, both Corrin are the only Avatar units, as well as the only Lord units, to not appear in any of the main story chapters. However, this is no longer the case as of May 10th 2019, as the Wailing Soul Female Corrin is an enemy in Book 3.
* In Warriors, Female Corrin is the only Avatar unit to have a Gleamstone, as well as the only female member of the roster to bear one in general.
