If we're talking about comics Cassidy, he ran away from home at 16 to join the voluntary rebel army against the English in the Easter Uprising of 1916. He lied about his age and was a shit soldier, even shittier with a rifle, but he thought he was fighting for a good cause. His older brother had to come fetch him and bring him home. Except Cassidy never made it home, because he was attacked by a bog vampire. (If the TV version ups his age to 19 as I suspect they will, it won't be much of a childhood decision. But there ya go.)

Pam also had a turning point as a 16-year-old human. She defied her aristocrat parents for what was the last time before they disowned her and kicked her out.

Floki decided to be a boatbuilder like his father. Well, it was fated anyway, but he accepted it and did his best in his young life to fulfill it.

Emcee had always rolled with the punches, so he didn't really have the luxury of choice during his childhood. I would say that when the ladies of the brothel opened their home to him, of course he decided to stay. He spent his formative years with them, and would never have had a safer and loving environment than that at the time.
