LIVE POLL: IMDb Poll Board Favorite Introverts
Which of the following famously shy introverts (from movies or TV*) as chosen by our esteemed members of the IMDb Poll Board is your favorite?
LIST: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls568039821/
POLL: https://www.imdb.com/poll/yPxgQRPBOvY/
Must be a fictional main character and definitely not a cameo character. If you want to submit a side/supporting character, give me a decent/quick explanation and I'd likely allow it. Characters from live action and animated works allowed. For now, two characters per board member.

I haven't watched one single episode of Big Bang Theory, but it seems to me that the whole cast may fit, from what I've heard people talk about the show...

I'm something of an introvert myself (in the face-to-face context), but I cannot find a quick easy answer to this question.

@Tsarstepan ,
For your consideration:
Walter Mitty (Danny Kaye) from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039808/mediaviewer/rm960423168?ft0=name&fv0=nm0001414&ft1=image_type&fv1=still_frame&ref_=tt_ch

Introverts in films tend to hit my sensible string. The introverts that I have named have little redeeming qualities, they are not cute/likeable introverts like the ones already listed. You will not see a Breakfast Club or She's All That type of character in my list. The lifes of the character below are strewn with despair. And often, the films give them little hope for a better future. I guess the list below reflects what I think of myself 😢.
La belle et la bête may seem a odd inclusion. But, I have always seen its ending (especially Cocteau's ending) as an irony. It looked like the fantasm of a dysfunctional introvert. It is doubly saddening because it is too surreal to be true.
I have put in bold my favorites.

Hmm, I know I'm forgetting several so I'll have to go over my list of films. I did think of Cait in 'The Quiet Girl' but nazmi already chose her.
The two others that came to my mind:
James from 'The Wonder Boys' but although he's a recluse, at least for as long as he's allowed to be, I wouldn't call him shy so I don't think he really fits.
Edee from 'Land' is definitely very introverted and reclusive but I don't think she's exactly shy so it's up to you if you want to include her.
I'll go over my list of films, though, which will definitely jog my memory.
