Are there books with characters like these? Does this trope have a name? Why are they so likeable?

Snufkin is from a series of books.

Cursed. And I mean good literature, not children's stories, light novels or manga.

Hesse's Demian was very likeable for me. Knulp too.

Like a lone, neutral, stoic, point of view wanderer? I guess novels might focus too much on interiority to have many characters like that? Or a lack of real world situations where people behave like that? I guess Ishmael in Moby Dick a bit? Or various "memoir of kooky people I have met" nonfiction like James Herriot

Oh my lord... this all makes sense now...

I had a legit schizophrenic episode in 2023 and started dressing like a full-blown nazi. Not like "skinhead stormfag" but would wear black leather jackboots and a brown shirt in public. I still have now idea WTF I was thinking at the time.

And yet, it was the most attention I had ever had from women in my life.

Walter Scott's "The Antiquary" has Edie Ochiltree, a very likable vagabond in this same mold of character.
