🌟 What’s something small they did as a child that hinted at who they’d become?

You see, Tarre doesn't remember living without the awareness that he was different. Not always in a bad way, and not necessarily in a way that spoke of a great future, but he was different: there had been Force-sensitive Mandalorians in the past, of course there had, but many hadn't been trained and most didn't have his connection to the Force. And none before him had the chance to train as Jedi (which he had because of the moment in time he was born into, mostly: the Jedi had been at war for a long time but it hadn't been against the Mandalorians), so by the time he went to the Jedi Temple he knew he was different there too.
The first incident came when he'd been in the Temple for two weeks: a crechemate said something hurtful aimed at his origins, and Tarre punched him. Not too badly, he didn't want to hurt them, but he'd punched them. It was the way he'd been taught an insult had to be answered.
He knew immediately that it had been the wrong answer here. So, when a Jedi Master came to talk to him, what they found wasn't a child feeling guilty or feeling defiant or being aggressive. What they found was a child who knew he'd chosen the incorrect answer but had no idea which would have been appropriate and had questions.
He did not throw a punch at a crechemate again. It had never been a matter of aggression.
It was not aggression nor lust for power that led him to unite the Clans as Mand'alor, either. But he came from times of war, from serving in the Army of Light, and he knew enough of his people that if he didn't unite them, someone else would, and that someone would more than likely work with the Sith, or directly be a Sith.
And Tarre knew he was uniquely positioned to do something better than throw his people at endless battle.
