Positive portrayals of fictional characters with touch aversion

[sqbr]

So! I just made this anxiety related icon, and would like a similarly cheerful icon about being touch averse (and specifically, not liking hugs)

Thinking about it, while I had a number of sympathetic anxious characters to choose from I can't think of any positive portrayals of people being being touch averse in a good natured "this is just how I am" way, it's all grumpy messed up people like Fenris. Can anyone else think of any examples? Closest I can think of is Rogue, who is polite about telling people not to touch her or they'll die, but I'd rather someone less wracked with angst.

Yeah, this post is old, but Tory/Toui from the Deoxys Pokemon movie initially seems to hate/fear Pokemon, but he actually cares for them, he just can't stand touching them because he was caught in the middle of a stampede as a little kid.

... yeah, slightly dark backstory, but he's not angsty. He's sweet, very shy, but cheerful and kind. He bakes cookies and stuff! ;3;

Thanks, that sounds cool, I'll look into him!
