Probably Jerome, from Three Men in a Boat. I wish I could be perfectly eloquent and poetic without losing my childish sense of humour.
Mine is hard. Ben Sisko, Chido Anagonye, Janets, Margaery Tyrell
The fact that Chidi is one of the ones and you can’t decide is quite poetic
Tough call, but I’m going to go with Wayne from Brandon Sanderson’s Wax and Wayne trilogy.
Wax and Wayne is now four books. Wayne is probably my favorite of his characters. I love Mat and Nynaeve, too- Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time (for those who may not know).

Yeah you’re right. I have read the most recent one, I just miscounted.
I quite like Mat too, but never could get behind Nynaeve as a character. All the Aes Sedai, even the young ones, seem to have this attitude of “I know everything so I’m closed off to new information” which is infuriating to me. Egwene and Elayne outgrow that somewhat by the end, but less so Nynaeve.
Sam Vimes or Granny Weatherwax.
