Thank you for responding!

I get the idea that eccentric is used to describe people’s old habits.

(of a person or their behaviour) unconventional and slightly strange

eccentric definitely has an "odd" flavor, but it's sometimes positive as in "unique." quirky is mostly positive and more lighthearted.

Yes! there's maybe an edge to the uniqueness but it's mostly positive.
