English term or phrase: at heart
"I am a warrior at heart."

"Mi estas militisto..."

"...c^e koro"?
"...al koro"?
"...je koro"?

I'm thinking "c^e koro", but I'm not entirely sure.

Many thanks!!

Explanation:
'Mi estas, je koro, militisto' would be the best of the options using 'koro' I think.

However, I'd be very tempted to get away from the 'heart' metaphor as it's not a universal one and to say 'mi estas fundamente militisto'.

Hope this helps.
