this is quite a change from Akairiot's Robin!

Wow, he sure was subtle with mood.

I feel like canon Corrin is more of a airhead then anything, but hey, that's just me.

Yeah, the only adjective there that actually seems to describe Corrin is loyal.

Japanese canon, or US localized?

'Riot likes to make up different characterizations for the avatars under the assumption that they're the audience surrogate character, which is also why his take on Robin was a lewd chuuni. Here he seems to be emphasizing Corrin's status as a dragon to get this particular set of traits.

There's a difference between emphasizing character traits (particularly ones that don't actually impact personality to any notable degree) and completely flipping a character's personality. A lot of the traits he gave Robin weren't really exhibited in the story, but seeing as we only see the characters through the context of war, there's nothing saying Robin CAN'T be this silly chuuni once s/he unwinds and relaxes. But this is taking the EXACT opposite traits. Corrin is easily one of the most laid-back characters in the game, s/he rarely rises to taunts and challenges unless it means saving his/her team, and s/he is also one of the most humble characters.

I'm not exactly sure about what I'm about to say since it's already a few monthes/years ago, but I remember reading something about trying to adapt her personality that would fit the Conquest Route.

Corrin's personality in Conquest is pretty clear, though. She (I'll just stick with 'she' here since this is a F!Corrin image) explicitly chooses to side with her Nohrian family because that's the family she feels is her family. (And she presumably just doesn't feel a connection to the Hoshidans form after simply being told that they're her blood relatives even though they're also not her blood relatives because marriage options but that doesn't matter because even adoptive family is family... which REEEAAALLY undercuts the Hoshidan side's argument if this is all based upon who you are supposed to consider family, but you're supposed to ignore the Nohrians are making that exact same argument...)

Beyond that, Corrin is generally ordered around by Garon, but is overtly disobeying the intent of his orders in every way she possibly can, and overtly questioning her orders in every case, resulting in her no-killing approach to pacifying the ice tribe when she was ordered to start a genocide. This changes to reluctantly being willing to play along with Garon's whims (even startling Azura by sounding just like Garon) after being told by Azura that she needed to help Garon win because of the ludicrously convoluted plot to get him to sit on a McGuffin when there was no apparent reason they couldn't just walk the other Nohr siblings into the lake and show them Garon's true form in a less destructive way. She sucks it up and goes along with really terrible things she explicitly disagrees with because she's focused on the goal of convincing her family of Garon's monstrousness, from which you can definitely infer a lot of restraint and self-control in her character.

Basically, as Blokrokker said, Corrin's personality is pretty clearly not one of arrogance or rashness like this picture implies. Family is explicitly more important to her than even her ideals, especially in the Conquest path, and beyond that, she's a combination of cheerful, selfless, compassionate, and more than a bit naive. The free DLC crossover with Awakening shows that last part pretty amusingly, where Jakob or Felicia if Corrin is male, winds up having to cover for Corrin's utter inability to convincingly improvise/lie. The fact that the dojikko meido is the more competent of the pair in this scenario says a LOT about Corrin's personality when she isn't being asked to be a drama character in a war story.
