None of these fit. Tommy isn\'t always the The Leader, Harvey therefore isn\'t always The Lancer (nor does he subvert it), Kellen doesn\'t fight, Dwight isn\'t any more intelligent than the others, and Sara isn\'t the one who mediates conflicts.

** TheLeader - Tommy
** TheLancer - Harvey, although he has sometimes subverted this.
