Corrin (Japanese: カムイ Kamui) is the player character in Fire Emblem Fates. Like Robin from Fire Emblem: Awakening, Corrin's appearance, name, and gender can all be determined by the player. Corrin has strong Manakete blood, allowing them to turn into a dragon at will; and their dragon appearance will stay consistent even should the player change their appearance.
Corrin was born into the royal family of Hoshido, but was kidnapped and brought to the kingdom of Nohr as an infant, where they have spent much of their life as the prince or princess of the kingdom.
Personality
Corrin is a kind person who doesn't like to make mistakes, often firing off rapid-fire apologies should they mess up in any kind of way. They are frequently hesitant to make any kind of decisions because of this, which is the crux of Fire Emblem Fates as a whole; Fates is split because of their inability to make a solid decision without help from a outsider.
While they were sheltered throughout their childhood, Corrin is actually quite a social person and reaches out to their enemies to ask for them to join them. While sometimes naive and too trusting of others, this in turns makes them trustworthy to others like Ryoma and Xander. While their naive personality is their greatest weakness, it also what keeps them loyal and kind to others.
Both versions of Corrin are good leaders in skirmishes and discerning an immediate opponent's strengths and weaknesses, they lack ability to handle large scale battles. Any attempt by Corrin to scale a large-scale attack and seizing what should be gold opportunities usually is squandered and Corrin and their army usually retreat with a hair length's of life left.
They have a host of talents outside of leading battle, such as poetry and reading philosophy. They are also great at playing the piano. They are not good at cooking, however.
Additionally, the two genders of Corrin feature somewhat distinct takes on their personalities. The male Corrin is laidback and sweet, while the female Corrin is peppier and more teasing. In Birthright, Corrin becomes more aggressive to the Nohrians as the route progresses, but does not become overtly bloodthirsty, only killing if they need to. In Conquest, they become regretful of their choice, having to watch the Nohrians' atrocities and killing of Hoshidans, and suffers nightmares as a result.
Familial Connections
Corrin is actually the product of Mikoto and the human manifestation of Anankos's benevolent soul. They are not actually part of the Hoshido blood line but this was kept a secret by the family members. In actuality, Corrin is related to Lilith, who was also a product of Anankos.
Because Mikoto is only the stepmother of the Hoshido children, this means that Corrin's relationship to the family line is only tangential at best. However, because Mikoto married into it, Corrin is grandfathered in.
Alternate Versions
Female Corrin (Nohrian Summer)
Female Corrin has a "Nohrian Summer" variation in Fire Emblem Heroes. This Corrin uses water-based spells, with clown fish and blue-tang fish appearing in her special attacks. She also rides a Wyvern. The backstory for this version of Corrin is that she won tickets to a island with Xander, Leo, and Elise and is now forced to fight by contract.

Trivia
- If the player decides to make their avatar male, there will be a equal amount of male and female siblings. However, if the player decides to make their avatar female, the majority of the royal siblings will be female.
- Both versions of Corrin are barefoot. Kozaki, who does the designs for Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates, designed them like this because of the animalistic impression he had after hearing of their strong ties to dragons.
- Female Corrin has 89 support conversations, the highest in the franchise.
- Corrin's hair was almost black during development to tie them to their mother more. It was changed back to white, which was the original color they had decided at the beginning of development.
- Male Corrin can have an S-Support with Niles, while Female Corrin can S-Support with Rhajat. This makes them the first Fire Emblem leads able to have same sex relationships explicitly.
- These same sex relationships have identical support conversations in English regardless of gender, although the Japanese version has different conversations.
