'''Corrin''' ({{ja|カムイ|Kamui}}, ''Kamui'') is a character from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series. As the playable {{s|fireemblemwiki|avatar}} in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'', Corrin is created by the player and can be customized in a variety of ways, including name, appearance, and gender. Corrin is also the main protagonist of ''Fates'', and seeks to stop the conflict between their surrogate homes of {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Nohr}} and {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Hoshido}}.

Corrin debuted in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' via [[downloadable content]], and returns as an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Like [[fireemblemwiki:Tactician (Blazing Sword)|Mark]] in ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|game}}'', [[fireemblemwiki:Avatar (New Mystery of the Emblem)|Kris]] in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow}}'', and [[Robin]] in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Awakening}}'', Corrin is the customizable avatar character in ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}''. Their gender, physical appearance, voice, stat builds, and secondary class are customizable by the player before starting a new game. Corrin starts the game as a Nohr prince/princess. Corrin and their royal families carry the blood of {{iw|fireemblemwiki|dragons}}, being able to transform themselves or parts of their body to that of a dragon using their {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Dragonstone}}. They can also use Dragon Veins to alter the surrounding terrain in various ways, a power granted from the ancestral First Dragons.

''Fire Emblem Fates'' is set on the territories of {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Hoshido}} and {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Nohr}}. Their royalty share a similar line of descent from the First Dragons, but they worship different deities: the Dawn Dragon and the Dusk Dragon, respectively. Corrin was born in Hoshido but kidnapped to Nohr at a young age, being isolated in the Northern Fortress during their childhood. Once they become of age and best their older brother, {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Xander}}, in a practice match, King {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Garon}} deems them worthy, providing them with the sword {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Ganglari}} to be used on the Hoshidan prisoners {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Kaze}} and {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Rinkah}}, among others. Corrin succeeds in defeating the prisoners but, out of compassion, refuses to kill them. Enraged, Garon has Xander kill the prisoners instead, but Corrin briefly clashes with Xander until {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Leo|Fates}} steps in to dispatch them (secretly leaving them alive) and convince Garon to lessen Corrin's punishment.

Garon sends Corrin to inspect a Hoshidan fortress above the Bottomless Canyon to pardon their crime. However, one of Garon's men, {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Hans}}, provokes the Hoshidans into battle and knocks {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Gunter}}, one of Corrin's companions, into the abyss of the canyon. Hoshidan soldiers later find and capture Corrin, who eventually recognizes them as the long-lost member of the Hoshidan royal family. Corrin meets their blood relatives and the songstress {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Azura}}, a former Nohrian Princess raised in Hoshido, in Hoshido's capital city. However, a hooded assassin attempts to kill Corrin, with Corrin's mother, Queen {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Mikoto}}, shielding them at the cost of her life. Out of distress, Corrin's dragon blood is awakened, transforming them into a Feral Dragon and causing them to rampage. Their rampage routs the hooded assassin as well as other mysterious soldiers in pursuit of Hoshido. Corrin is calmed down by Azura, who sings {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Lost in Thoughts All Alone}} to revert them to their human form. Afterwards, Corrin is given a dragonstone to control their dragon form at will, and claims the legendary Yato blade, which is said to belong to the one who will save the world. The Hoshidan and Nohrian royal families, now aware of Corrin's heritage, declare war on each other and eventually meet in battle for both conquest of their respective lands and custody of Corrin. Upon witnessing this great struggle, Corrin is forced to make a choice over who to side with.

 

 

Since ''Fates'', both the default male and female versions of Corrin have appeared in other ''Fire Emblem'' games. Both versions of Corrin can be summoned as illusory allies in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}'' using the matching ''Smash'' [[amiibo]], and both versions appear as units the player can recruit in the crossover game ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}''. Female Corrin also appears prominently as a playable character in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Warriors}}'', with the male version of Corrin available as well outside of story mode. Most recently, ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Engage}}'' features female Corrin as one of the game's numerous Emblems, ethereal clones of protagonists from various other ''Fire Emblem'' games who dwell within special rings.

Corrin is placed currently at 13th place out of 55 total characters on the ''SSB4'' [[tier list]], ranking them at the top of the B tier. Corrin's reach is their strongest positive, with their forward smash being notable as the longest reaching in the game. Their range is also complimented well with their overall decent frame data, and, much like {{SSB4|Marth}}, they possess a tipper that deals significantly more knockback. Yet, just like Marth, Corrin does have issues scoring KOs from up close, as the launch power in their non-tipper hits have relatively little knockback. They also suffer from overall mediocre mobility in both the air and on the ground. Currently, Corrin has fairly solid tournament representation and results to their name.

|desc-ntsc=Corrin joins the battle from Fire Emblem Fates. Born in Hoshido but kidnapped by Nohr at a young age, Corrin was brought up by Nohrian royalty. Descended from the First Dragons, Corrin has the power to transform into a dragon. In Smash, Corrin can change parts of the body into lance-like hands and feet that have a long reach that deal more damage at the tips.

|desc-pal=Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates was born a Hoshido royal but kidnapped as a child and raised by the Nohr royal family. Descended from the First Dragons, Corrin has the power to transform into a dragon. In Smash this means lance-like hands and feet with a long reach whose tips deal the most damage. Use this reach to inflict high damage at a distance!

 

|desc-ntsc=Corrin's side special, Dragon Lunge, is no normal attack—skewer a surface with a lance-like arm, and it will suspend you in the air. Pin an enemy while doing this, and you can keep them in place and then follow up with a flying kick forward or back or just jump up. You can only thrust the lance once before landing.

<!--Do not add how Corrin is the first LQBTQ+ character to appear in Smash, as it is not particularly relevant to their appearance in the Smash series, nor has this status been officially confirmed.-->

*Corrin is the second character in the series to be added before the worldwide releases of their game (after ''Fire Emblem'' fighter [[Roy]]). However, Roy's game wasn't released anywhere at the time of his debut in ''Smash'', while Corrin's had by then been released in Japan.

*Male Corrin's artwork in ''SSB4'' is similar to his official art in ''Fates'', albeit with his left hand in a different position and his sword being angled more downwards. Female Corrin's artwork, however, is identical to her official art in ''Fates'', but she now wears black stockings covering her inner thighs. Both artworks also feature the two wielding the Omega Yato instead of the standard Yato.

*With a debut on June 2015, Corrin was the most recently debuted playable character following their release as [[DLC]] for ''SSB4''.

*Though Corrin appears as male by default in ''Smash'', most media released after ''Fates'' more prominently features female Corrin, such as ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' (where female Corrin is used as the icon for ''Fates''), ''Fire Emblem Warriors'', and ''Fire Emblem Engage''. This is also reflected in ''Ultimate'', as female Corrin is present on the difficulty selection banner for {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}.

*Corrin, [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], [[Snake]], and [[Joker]] are the only fighters to have featured material from upcoming games in ''Smash'', whether by means of their universe's content or moveset—in Corrin's case, their inclusion as DLC marked the debut of the English version of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone", two weeks before the American launch of ''Fire Emblem Fates''.

*Corrin is the only ''Fire Emblem'' character whose onscreen appearance does not involve teleportation onto the stage using warp magic.

*As with the other fighters with male and female variants, the male and female variants of Corrin are established as separate entities in at least one instance. In ''Fire Emblem Warriors'', one gendered variant of Corrin can encounter the other as an enemy in a bonus mission. Both can also be seen separately in {{SSBU|Sora}}'s trailer.
