Corinne is the main protagonist in Barbie and The Three Musketeers. She is voiced by Kelly Sheridan. Corinne is a 17-year-old country girl from Gascony, France who travels to Paris to become a musketeer.
Plot[]
Corinne is the daughter of the late brave musketeer D'Artagnan, and she spends most of her time practicing her skills at her farm because she and Miette, her cute kitten, want to become musketeers (Miette calls it "Mus-CAT-teer").
She is 17 now, and her mother Marie lets her go to Paris. Her mother gives her a letter for Monsieur Treville, the commander of the musketeers and a friend of D'Artagnan's, and some money if she needs anything. She goes to Paris on her father's horse, Alexander, who knows the way. When she arrives in the city, she heads straight up to Treville to talk, but he refuses to let her be a musketeer because he thinks she is not ready yet, which makes her a little bit disappointed. A dog named Brutus chases Miette and she goes after them, bumping into three girls named Viveca, a designer; Renée, a musician; and Aramina, a romantic dancer, along the way.
The chase ends at the palace where Corinne sees Madame de Bossé firing a maid (who is later revealed to be named Constance). Madame de Bossé takes Corinne inside the palace where she laughs off her dream of becoming a musketeer when she mentions it and offers her a job opening as a maid. Corinne accepts it to avoid two musketeers that arrived for presumably whoever was in the chase. Unfortunately, she finds out that her new co-workers are the three girls she bumped into, and they are all mad at her. After she tells the girls how she can make it up to them, Renée makes Corinne clean the ballroom floor with a toothbrush. That night, Corinne doesn't have a place to stay, but Aramina invites her to stay with the girls at their sleeping quarters. Viveca doubts it at until she sees Miette and reveals that the three girls have an extra bed since Constance left. Corinne gives her money to Renée, who allows her to stay for one week. She sees Renée's violin bow on top of the fountain and leaves to get it back for her. When she returns with the bow, Viveca, Renée and Aramina silently forgive Corinne after she goes straight to bed with Miette.
The next day, a chandelier falls down and nearly kills Prince Louis, who bumps into Corinne during a successful test on a prototype of a flying contraption he is working on. The girls use their musketeer skills to protect themselves from broken chandelier pieces that fly to their direction. While cleaning up the mess with her friends, Corinne finds a small red gem nearby and notices a rope connected to the chandelier that seems to have been cut manually. She discovers that the three girls have been training to be musketeers as well with the same dream she has. Hélène, an elderly maid who secretly saw the girls with their skills, brings them through a secret passageway to the old musketeers' training room. After revealing herself to be professionally skilled as a musketeer regardless of her age, she tells the girls that she'll train them to become musketeers, but they will have to do what she says and work together. They spend the entire day training until they are exhausted when Hélène leaves.
The next morning while cleaning some turret windows, Corinne spots Prince Louis in danger, hanging from the rope ladder of his flying contraption, a hot air balloon, as it flies towards one of the palace turrets. She quickly takes action by hopping into the balloon and steering it away from the turret’s sharp point. They head to some trees, but Corinne manages to turn up the heat to make the balloon go higher. After bringing Louis back into the balloon to safety, Corinne notices one of the balloon’s ropes have been manually cut just like the chandelier rope. She and Louis take a romantic flight in the balloon together, in which they share each other's dreams. Louis reveals to Corinne his dream of flying despite his upcoming ascension to the throne as king. When Corinne tells him her dream, he merely laughs at her and says girls can’t be musketeers, offending Corinne in the process. After crash-landing on the ground, Corinne storms off. She returns to the training room where the other girls are sparring with Hélène and recounts the chandelier that nearly harmed Louis. Hélène believes that there is a secret plot against the prince, warning the girls to remain silent and vigilant without trusting anyone until they find proof.
Corinne and her friends spend the next few days training with Hélène, even during their work shifts, until Corinne eventually defeats their mentor in a duel. The following night, the girls leave the palace to celebrate Corinne's success in their training. They suddenly find the Regent and some men in a dark alley where they are transporting swords disguised as pretend ones to the upcoming masquerade ball where Prince Louis's evil cousin Philippe will kill him and take the throne for himself. Corinne notices that the red gem she found the other day matches the gem on the Regent’s knife pommel, realizing that he was the one who cut the chandelier and the balloon ropes as attempts to kill Prince Louis. The girls quickly return to the palace to warn Treville about the plot they discovered, but he doesn’t believe them and has them kicked out of the palace.
The girls return to their sleeping quarters, dejected by what happened. Just then, Corinne encourages her friends to take action since they are the only ones who know about the plot against the prince and can save him. They come up with the idea to infiltrate the palace with masked costumes on during the masquerade ball where no one will be able to recognize them. While Viveca and Renée work on making the costumes and weapons disguised as accessories for the girls, Aramina teaches Corinne how to dance.
The day of the masquerade ball arrives, and the girls are fully prepared to save the prince. When night finally falls, the girls infiltrate the palace through one of its secret passageways, unaware that Philippe and his men are also sneaking in with real swords on hand. Corinne and her friends enter the palace without getting recognized by Treville, who kindly directs them to the ballroom. When they arrive at the ballroom entrance, Corinne calls herself "Lady Barb E. Cue" (a pun on both Barbie and barbecue) to avoid further recognition. She and the girls begin scouting the area quietly, staying vigilant for signs of danger. Hélène passes by Corinne to secretly check if she is doing so. The announcer suddenly declares the commencement of Prince Louis’s ceremonial sword dance, in which he selects Corinne to be his dance partner. During the dance, Corinne tries to keep her identity a secret from Louis despite the latter finding her familiar from somewhere. The fireworks then go off as the sword dance ends. While everyone is distracted by the fireworks, Corinne spots a masked man coming right behind Louis, armed with his pretend sword that is actually a real one. She fends the man off in time, but he escapes while the Regent and his men surround the girls. They quickly take action, shifting into their musketeer gear and fighting off their opponents. Corinne uses her sword to fight off a few of the Regent’s men before many more surround the girls.
As she notices the prince is missing, she spots Louis’s mask by the passageway entrance. Viveca distracts the Regent and his men before the girls quickly head inside the passageway where Corinne saw the mask. While the girls are searching in the passageways, they stumble upon Treville and three musketeers, who are tied up by the Regent and his men. Viveca, Renée and Aramina stay behind to untie them all, leaving Corinne to go after the prince on her own. She runs around the palace and finally spots Louis being chased to the palace rooftop by the masked man that turns out to be Philippe. Corinne makes it to the top in time to save Louis from being killed. She and Philippe fight in a duel, but the latter easily beats her, knocking her sword away. While he is mocking her, Louis retrieves her sword for her and she successfully defeats Philippe, who clings on the rooftop’s edge. When she checks on Louis with her back turned, Philippe climbs back up to the rooftop and attempts a final attack on Corinne using a dagger, but Louis manages to help her react in time and knock the dagger away with her. Unarmed, Philippe makes his escape until Treville arrives as he and the musketeers arrest him, the Regent and his men. Corinne reunites with her friends and they share a group hug.
After Philippe and his accomplices have been apprehended, Louis requests the girls to reveal their identities as his thanks for rescuing him. He is shocked upon seeing that “Lady Barb E. Cue” turns out to be Corinne but decides to make her and her friends official musketeers upon his ascension to the throne. The citizens all celebrate the girls' ceremony and Corinne returns a wave she receives from Hélène. She reunites with her mother, who is proud of her daughter becoming a musketeer. Louis invites Corinne to take another balloon ride with him to celebrate his coronation. She is about to give him her answer when Treville informs the girls of another plot against Louis the other musketeers have just heard about. Corinne tells Louis they can take the balloon ride later. The girls declare, “All for one, and one for all!” as they ride off into the sunset.
Physical Appearance[]
Corinne is a 17-year-old girl with fair skin, light blue eyes, and light honey blonde hair with bangs on one side tied into a bun. A braided part of her hair secures the bun.
Casual outfit[]
Corinne wears a dark red vest over a white long-sleeved blouse with frilled cut edges on the collar, hem, and sleeve cuffs. She has dark red pants and long brown boots that reach her knees. She is sometimes shown wearing a brown musketeer hat when she practices her skills.
Maid Uniform[]
Corinne wears a pink knee-high jumper dress with a ruffled edge on the waistline over a white blouse, puffed sleeves going down her elbows, and a pink band tied around the bottom. She has white tights and pink flats.
Masquerade Wear[]
Corinne's gown was made by Viveca. She wears a bright pink floor-length gown with a bow-shaped band on the chest with a pink dot and small shoulder puffs. The skirt has three parts: Two parts of it are the covering, and the third part is the real skirt. She wears a pink hairpin, a matching tiara, white tights and pink high heel shoes. Her hairstyle has changed to a half bun with a braid around her bun securing it and some curls at the bottom of her hair.
Musketeer Outfit[]
Corinne wears a knee-high version of her masquerade gown that reveals her tights, and long pink boots similar to her brown ones. She has a pink cape on her back and the hairpin disappeared. Her hair is styled in a high bun just like the one Viveca, Renée and Aramina wear in their masquerade gowns. In the finale, Corinne keeps her dress, tights and boots on and wears a deep blue cape on her back with a golden symbol at the bottom of the cape, and a deep blue musketeer hat. She retains her hairstyle from her masquerade gown, but without the half bun.
Personality[]
Corinne is a brave, independent, and stubborn teenager who is an aspired musketeer. She isn’t like other girls of that time who stick to jobs that are normally offered to them. When things get tough, she gets tougher and never lets anyone bring her down. She’s attracted to romance, intelligence, and deep, dreamy eyes. Corinne would like someone who understands and appreciates her. Doing musketeer training is her hobby, and she possesses unbelievable talent. Corinne follows her dreams even though she is a maid because she can archive with her mindset into it no matter what others think about her. She always gets mad when she hears people say that girls can’t be musketeers.
Quotes[]

Trivia[]
- Corinne shares her first name with Corinne from Barbie in Princess Power.

Similarities to D'Artagnan[]
Corinne's story is very similar to the original counterpart of her father D'Artagnan's in the original story of The Three Musketeers. He received three presents from his father (money, a horse, and advice), and so does Corinne, but she receives hers from her mother. They both go from Gascony to Paris in the hopes of becoming a musketeer. When they got to Paris, they both had letters to show to Monsieur Treville, but they lost their letters.
D'Artagnan met three men named Athos, Porthos, and Aramis in Paris who wanted to be musketeers like him. Corinne met three girls named Renée, Viveca, and Aramina, who wanted to be musketeers. Viveca and Porthos were both interested in fashion. Like Corinne, D'Artagnan upset the three people he met.
