You can pigeonhole any character into a category if the requirements are broad enough. For instance, that list also describes the cast from Firefly:

Charming Lead- Mal
Naive Minx-Kaylee
Wise Mentor-Book
Bitch- Inara
Murderous Sociopath-Jayne

Or Order of the Stick:

Charming Lead-Roy
Naive Minx-Haley
Wise Mentor-Durkon
Bitch-Vaarsuvius (well, s/he may not have breasts, but it fits otherwise)
Murderous Sociopath-Belkar

Man, these are character archetypes. You might as well deride them for the cliché of speaking English.
