==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 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.

[[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 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 Cor's reappearance. As the boys grow up together, Corin and Cor have many brotherly quarrels, usually resulting in Corin knocking 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.
