* TheLancer: See the list of GirlsWithGuns movies in her bio above, where she stars alongside players like Moon or Oshima? She usually plays second fiddle to the protagonist, although she's also a HyperCompetentSidekick who is almost as good (if not better) in kicking ass and taking names.

* ActionGirl
* BoyishShortHair: In her movies made after 1989. It's almost impossible to find a film featuring Sharon with hair past her shoulders by that point.
* {{Contortionist}}: And how! Check her out in [[https://twitter.com/Stargazer_KEA/status/959109859433242624 this screenshot]] from ''Story of the Drunken Master''. She did similar stunts in ''Deadly Target''.
* GirlsWithGuns: Most of her 90s' movies.
* LightningBruiser: She's noticeably bigger in size than Moon or Oshima, and yet she can move and fight as swiftly as either of the two.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's usually the Tomboy.
