There are many elements that make up who someone is, including:

Religion Cultural belief Values and Skills and abilities Physical attribu

However, they varies from person to person.

Every single event in someone's life has an impact on their identity.

Explanation:

Let's take examples of two great religious leaders, Buddha and Jesus. What made Buddha different from the rest of us? Although born in a royal family, he decided to live a poor life but full of love and teach everyone about the impermanence in life. Is that because he saw the contrast between the life of a prince and the one of a poor person on street? In the other part of the globe, Jesus also dedicated his life for teaching about unconditional love. "Love even your enemies", said Jesus. Unlike Buddha, Jesus was born in poverty, but both shared the same values and those last up to now. What made up Jesus is something innate, something that God blew into his soul for him to spread God's messages.
