As I said above in my previous message, that wouldn't work. Categorization of articles is meant to be inclusive, and either it works for all articles or a set group (Characters, Actors, Events, Items...), or it works for none.

All characters can be classified by their Affiliation, Appearance, Gender, Occupation and Media (they appear in). And those are the categories that currently exist. Not all characters can be classified by their sexual preference or religious beliefs (to cite two examples that have been proposed and denied) so, even if some characters can be notably identified by this, not all of them can, a category is out of the question because of that.

For these kind of things is where the whole body of the article is used. It's not that we don't acknowledge it or something...
