I only had a brief scan of the link the other day but it looks like a complex system that would have taken a lot of thought and organisation and, yes, I see what you mean now and can understand that it would be heaps of fun trying to position already-established characters within the wheel rather than making them up and then just assigning them a place.
Complex characters would be extremely difficult, trying to place them within various combinations, and I expect it would be an easier task to place literary characters, rather than those on movies/TV etc, as you'd know more about them through the text? I'm not sure. Are you having trouble with Rarity becasue she's complex, or you don't know enough about her?
Knowing me, I would get so involved that I'd start categorising people in my everyday life into a colour...! Have you found yourself doing that, Albertosaurus Rex, or hasn't the game hooked you that much yet?
Actually, it's (at a stretch?) kind of like an expansion of the de Bono Hats system but more about all attributes of a person than just 'thinking'. I remember the first time a complete stranger told me that I was "a wonderfully green-hatted person". About a week later someone told me to take off my black hat and try to be more white!
