I can't think of specific individuals either, but that's not surprising; fame tends to go to the hero rather than the sidekick.

I can think of a male archetype that fits it, though: classical Japanese samurai. It's an aesthetic that I actually find really appealing, albeit not something I think I could ever follow myself.
