Does Marvin the Paranoid Android from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy count as a literary character?
Why does it have to be literary character (I assume by "literary" you mean from the "classic" authors like Dickens, etc)? Surely you're discounting the majority of books (and nearly all the good ones) by saying that.

(In truth I think I am like Amelia from Un ballo in maschera by Verdi, but alas that is an opera, not a literary work.)

The Discworld Death, though he is a little more aspie than me. Or maybe Gearge R R Martin's Arya, from A Song of Ice and Fire.

Jubal Harshaw from Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein. It actually quite surprised me how similar we were (except for his opinion on women who get raped...).

I'm like quite a lot of literary charecters really; Othello, Desdemona, Sonya in War and Peace, Jean Valjean/Monseiur Madeline (after his transformation) in Les Miserasbles, Andrei in War and Peace.
