Corrin Personality

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 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.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.

According to Gunter, Corrin was much more quiet and shy in their childhood and became much more outspoken once Gunter showed them kindness by acting as a father figure for them while at the Northern Fortress. Due to his constant visits to the Fortress, Corrinholds a particularly strong bond with Xander who was not only Corrin's main sparring partner, but the person they wished to surpass in combat.

Corrin's most notable quirk noted by a number of members in their army is that they are quick to trust individuals, even when they are advised not to. This applies to Zola in Birthright and Anthony in Revelation, both of whom were tasked with killing them. However, they do express some level of caution, both in the case of Iago in Birthright and the manifestation of Mikoto in Revelation, where they do not fall for their deception. While both Ryoma and Xander have stated that this could be a very fatal trait, they have conceded that this unwavering sense of trust makes them more trustworthy themselves, leading to many members of their army placing their faith in Corrin's cause and leadership. Ryoma has stated that this has been their main trait since they were young, having a honest and kind mindset and, in his mind, makes them worthy of being a ruler. While their charisma makes them an excellent leader in skirmishes and the Male Corrin's support with Shiro show he's good at discerning an immediate opponent's strengths and weaknesses, both genders lack the vision to handle large-scale battles. Their supports with Leo showcase Corrin being upset at their inability to command large forces while Leo is upset as his inability to command small ones.Corrin reveals in their supports with Leo that they feel ashamed of their inexperience and often feel unworthy of leading because they feel they aren't as strong and wise as they should be and claims they are envious of his strategic mind claiming they would trade with him.

Corrin has strong familial attachment to both the Nohrian and Hoshdidan royal siblings. Regardless of their choice, they are reluctant to fight against either family whenever they are forced to face them. This also leads them to be extremely merciful and will always try to end a battle against them and their forces with a little casualties as possible, and will always spare their sibling. Even in the instance where Corrin refuses to pick a side, the thought of both families fighting each other are equally bad and they hope that one day, the two families will see eye to eye and become friends. Corrin is also shown to be a very loving and protective parent, shown when they achieve an S-Support with an opposite-sex character. When Kana is attacked by Invaders, they display nothing but righteous fury, stating that they will stain the fields of the Deeprealm with the Invaders' blood in retaliation for trying to harm Kana. Lastly, Azura becomes Corrin's closest ally in the army as they share the same circumstances of their lives, almost becoming akin to siblings.

Corrin has shown a wide variety of talents. Kaze's Private Quarter invite quote reveals that they are a great piano player. Some supports notes that they enjoy writing poetry and reading about philosophy. However, they have trouble cooking as they manage to burn tea in their support with Jakob and barely manages to bake palatable cookies with Dwyer this is due to the fact that they were constantlly pampered by their retainers which caused them to lack the skills.

Corrin also displays three distinct traits in Birthright, Conquest and Revelation:

Birthright
As a result of Mikoto's murder they display aggression towards Nohr, though they dislike the idea of having to fight their former Nohrian siblings. As many unavoidable deaths occur during this route, Corrin grows increasingly hostile towards King Garon, Hans, and Iago for their disregard for human lives. Corrin also has adopted Mikoto's way of thinking, usually trying to end conflicts with as little casualties as possible and only resorting to violence when absolutely necessary.

Conquest
Corrin displays some regret of choosing their adoptive siblings over their blood family, especially since they are forced to appease Garon in order to gain his trust and learn more about the truth. As the route progresses, they are forced to watch as many atrocities occur to the innocent Hoshidans while they are unable to save them, lest they receive Garon's wrath. However, they are pleased to see that their siblings display similar frustrations with Garon's brutal methods and hope that the conflict can end with as little casualties as they can manage to do. To this end, Corrin still tries to spare as many Hoshidan lives that they can get away with, earning the trust of Kaze, and trying to end the war their own way. In their supports with Azura in Conquest, Corrin also suffers from nightmares from having killed Hoshidans when they are presented no choice in the matter.

Revelation
Due to the circumstances of the Vallite curse, Corrin struggles to unify the Hoshidan and Nohrian forces to combat the true antagonist of the events of Fates. Despite not being able to outwardly reveal their intentions, their trusting nature will shine much more than in the other two routes, leading every ally into joining their cause even though they do not fully understand the situation Corrin is facing. This has enabled more forgiving, if not kinder, characters to trust Corrin as they have either seen their kind-hearted nature knowing that they aren't traitors (e.g. Rinkah and Kaze), they can see that they are desperately asking for trust (e.g. Sakura and Ryoma) or through other means of proof that they mean well and are telling the truth (e.g. Leo and Xander).
