* SternTeacher: Vellum never hesitates to point out Corrin's many many mistakes. However, it's clear she is genuinely trying to make him a better enchanter. Considering that one of the times he enchanted something without getting advice from her first, it exploded, it's clear that she has a point.

* CombatPragmatist: He's a strong proponent of doing whatever you can to win a fight. Because of this, he often lets Corrin get away with things that would be considered cheating most of the time; as far as he's concerned, sneaking in the night before to change the runes of the arena is just good strategy.

* TheMentor: He proves a surprisingly good teacher for Corrin. Most adults keep warning Corrin off from doing anything reckless to enhance his power and tell him to just stick with traditional methods. Keras tells him to be careful, but is happy to help with all those reckless things, and helps him develop a unique fighting style that will fit Corrin's own abilities.

%%* GuileHero
* HatesBeingTouched: Hates contact with other people, due to a trauma in his past.
%%* ItemCrafting
* JackOfAllStats: In the second book he starts to learn basic healing and combat magic to make himself more versatile, since his attunements are primarily intended for non-combat uses that couldn't hope to stand up to a combat attunement in a fair fight.
* TheLeader: Among his team, though it's shared equally with Sera. Corrin is better at preparations, while Sera is better in social situations.
* NonActionGuy: Something he fights against. His attunements are intended to be used in non-combat situations. But because of his upbringing he constantly tries to adapt them for fighting.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: Often tries new Enchantments on himself. He nearly ends up blowing his hand off when he starts working on gauntlets.
* ProHumanTranshuman: His ultimate goal, though he's aware of how silly and unobtainable it seems. [[spoiler: Turns out it's his brother's goal, too.]]

* TheUnFavourite: His father already looked down on him because he wasn't his brother. After he gets an attunement that isn't combat-ready, he's more or less disowned.
* TrainingFromHell: Went through combat training since he was old enough to stand on two feet.
