History Characters / StarWarsTheMandalorianCharacterSheet

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Early on it's established that Din is a hard-core, orthodox, niqabi Mandalorian. He ''does not'' remove his helmet in front of others -- doing so would be to renounce being a Mandalorian. But as the show goes on, this line gets pushed again and again, his devotion to that principle rubbing up against his newfound devotion to his son.

** To [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Bo-Katan]]. They are both a part of Mandalorian culture, but he was adopted into it, while she was born a part of it, and while he wholeheartedly embraced the ancient past of his people, she rejected a peaceful future in favor of trying to force Mandalore to reclaim its warrior heritage by joining Death Watch. Moreover, he is very much an anti-hero who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, but still lives by a strict code of honor, while she was a formerly unambiguous villain who underwent a HeelFaceTurn and tried to rectify her mistakes by working with the Republic to get rid of Maul, only to have to fight against the Empire to reclaim her homeworld not once, but twice, each time taking more drastic measures to ensure her goals. He is also a very staunch traditionalist who views the slightest violations of "The Way" with great disdain (who eventually becomes more liberal to other Mandalorian beliefs), while she only values Mandalore's heritage as warriors first and foremost, giving little care to the ancient past beyond that (who would ironically be welcomed by the same group of people she dismissed after her own forces deserted her).

** To [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Sabine Wren]]. Din was adopted into Mandalorian culture, and wholeheartedly embraced it, while she was born into Mandalorian culture, but ended up running away from it. He fought against what remained of the Empire, while she lived under it for years, and fought against after it became clear just how evil they were. Both of them took time struggling to open up to their respective families (the Child for Din, the Ghost Crew for Sabine), yet the irony of it all is that Mando is very much the epitome of his people and considered one of its finest warriors, yet she was initially deemed an outcast for betraying the Empire, after Mandalore had resigned itself to Imperial rule. They both share a personal sigil with an adopted family, but while Sabine is famous for constantly repainting her armor in a riot of colors, Din prefers an unpainted set of uncovered Beskar.[[spoiler: Sabine and Din have also obtained ownership of the Darksaber, giving them the title of Mand'alor. Both have no interest in it and have tried to giving it to Bo-Katan instead. However, Sabine was able to give it to Katan, who kept it until Gideon carpet-bombed Mandalore and left her name a cautionary tale among her people, while Din failed to give it to her, and has used it (albeit with some difficulty) in his work.]]

Born on the remote world of Aq Vetina during the Clone Wars, Din Djarin watched as his parents were slaughtered by Separatist battle droids before his very eyes. Rescued by a [[Characters/StarWarsMandalorians Mandalorian]] warrior from the Children of the Watch and adopted into their clan, he was reared to uphold the ancient tenets of Mandalorian religion above all else, and spent most of his life working as a lone BountyHunter to provide for their hidden covert. Everything changed when he took a job for the Imperial Remnant to track down a 50-year-old target they were after -- and from there, he took his first step into a larger world.

* GutturalGrowler: He speaks with a tough-sounding rasp. It usually seems due to his helmet distorting his voice, but he still sounds hoarse even without it.

* MidLifeCrisisCar: His new starfighter, a modified N-1, is given a subtle treatment as this; while Peli Moto has to talk him into buying and helping her rebuild it since he wanted another [[BoringButPractical Razor Crest]], the rebuilding montage and his first test flight are treated as a therapeutic expression of some youthful enthusiasm to counter his melancholy as what amounts to an "empty nester" without Grogu.

* NamingConventions: End of Season 3 revealed that Din is his family name. This would seem to go against established Mandalorian naming conventions but obviously he had his name before he was Mandalorian.

* NoPeripheralVision

* LoopholeAbuse: His clan traditions forbid him from either removing his helmet or showing his face (it's deliberately vague which). [[spoiler:He bends the rule by putting on a stormtrooper helmet to infiltrate an enemy base, causing Mayfeld to point out that he's deliberately interpreting the rule the latter way for his loved one's benefit.]] Later, he learns he accidentally won the Darksaber in combat, and though [[TheChainsOfCommanding he has no desire to wield it]], Bo-Katan won't accept it from him and won't challenge him to a battle for it. [[spoiler:So when he's captured by a monster in the mines and she slays the beast, he waits until she's in front of her old squad before pointing out that technically she defeated the enemy who defeated him (even if that defeat ''was'' an ambush and not honorable open combat), and therefore she's the rightful owner of it.]]

** As of season 3, he seems to have struck up a quasi-romantic partnership with Bo-Katan: she [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend kills a cyborg-vampire creature]] that captures him, then [[RescueRomance saves his life]] ''again'' [[SuperDrowningSkills when he accidentally steps off a ledge and sinks like a stone due to]] TwentyFourHourArmor, he takes her [[MeetTheInLaws back to his covert]] and they essentially become attached at the hip, and then [[spoiler:joins her on her quest to reunite the Mandalorians scattered throughout the galaxy, ultimately pledging to serve her "until her song is written" in a speech that's staged ''exactly'' like a love confession even if he doesn't say the word.]]
*** Chapter 22 contains rather little in the way of suspiciously flirtatious behavior or dialogue, but the blocking of the story beats suggest a foreshadowing of their future, with not one but ''two'' couples in loving but highly irregular relationships, not unlike an orphaned foundling and a princess, one of which rules a domed city just like the ones on Mandalore before the purge.
