==Bio Info== '''Title:''' Prince Corin Thunder-Fist '''Age:''' 14 '''Species:''' Son of Adam, Archenlander '''Home:''' Castle of Anvard, Archenland '''Physical Description:''' Fairhaired and light-skinned '''Tools:''' His fists '''First Appearance:''' ''The Horse and His Boy'', Ch. 5 (1954) ==Appearances== ===~ The Horse and His Boy ~ (1954)=== [[File:3773.jpg|left]]Corin first makes an appearance as a scruffy young man pulling himself astride a windowsill with [[Shasta]] staring at him from within. Corin had been out defending [[Susan Pevensie|Queen Susan]]'s honor with his fists among the low-life crowd of Tashbaan. After making his escape from Tashbaan with the other Narnians, Corin rides from Cair Paravel with the war party to Anvard. They run into [[Shasta]] along the way. During a short halt, Corin gets into a tussle with [[Thornbut]], a Narnian dwarf charged with attending the young prince, resulting in [[Thornbut]]'s injury. Corin then convinces [[Shasta]] to wear the dwarf's armor so that he could take part in the coming battle. Though Corin fights well, he is reprimanded by his father, [[King Lune]], because he had been strictly forbidden to ride into battle. He attends the luncheon during which his father and the Narnian rulers discuss [[Rabadash]]'s fate, causing general amusement when he asks to box [[Rabadash]]. When [[Aslan]] arrives, Corin and the others watch as [[Rabadash]] is turned into a donkey. Corin is ecstatic when he discovers that he will not have to be king because of his twin [[Shasta|Cor]]'s reappearance. As the boys grow up together, Corin and [[Shasta|Cor]] have many brotherly quarrels, usually resulting in Corin knocking [[Shasta|Cor]] down. Corin eventually becomes a famous boxer and is remembered for boxing the Lapsed Bear of Stormness for thirty-three rounds without a timekeeper. ===~ The Last Battle ~ (1956)=== [[File:3774.jpg|left]]Corin is there to welcome the friends of Narnia at the final reunion. ==About Corin== Corin is a happy-go-lucky princeling who does not often think about the consequences of his actions. He is impulsive, brave, and lighthearted, and believes that any issues can be resolved by boxing. Corin has a taste for adventure and his mischievous escapades are well known among the Archenlanders and Narnians. Corin is not afraid to take risks. He is intensely loyal and unselfish, and rejoices when he learns that his twin [[Shasta|Cor]] is the heir to the throne, because "it's princes have all the fun." Corin's fun-loving nature makes him a lovable character and a good counterpart to his more serious brother. ==Quotes== *"I say: we ought to be able to get some fun out of this being mistaken for one another."
