Well, I think there are 3 main categories for women, or maybe 4 if you count those with no character and interpretation at all.
1) beautiful, lyrical, classical (and chaste)
2) sexy
3) perky
With subsets of each.
And then there's everything else, as listed in this thread, of which there are too few examples of each to count as whole categories. Maybe female skaters taking on masculine hero-style characters (like Witt's Robin Hood or Leonova's pirate) would be a small category of its own.
For men, over the last 30+ years that I've seen videos from, I can come up with a few more categories. Shall I start a new thread?
There also might be a category called 'intense & dramatic' which would include Mao's Bells and Yuna's Danse Macabre amongst others.
