Solitude & Isolation — Character Suggestions

I'm gathering suggestions from real people and fictional characters who have experienced, represented, or embodied particular forms of loneliness, isolation, estrangement, or difficulty feeling part of the world.

The subject doesn't necessarily have to be commonly associated with loneliness. Cases where this dimension emerges in less obvious or conventional ways are particularly interesting.
