Something like 99% of tortoiseshell cats are female, and other the 1% tend to be intersex and/or sterile. Roughly 80% of orange cats are male. The "clingy but a-little-too-adventurous himbo" traits associated with orange cats are pretty common across male cats, while the "little miss attitude" traits associated with torties (and torbies) are very common among all female cats.
That said, my orange girl absolutely fits the orange cat stereotype. She tries to get on top of doors and is surprised when she can't. The dog is so afraid of her that he will refuse to go near the stairs if she is on them. I've had to pull her out from under the dresser and/or night stand because she got stuck. My wife regularly ends up slimed by Churu splash because this cat will grab her wrist and try to steal the entire Churu pouch during treat time with the other cats.
I have a boy black cat that fits the exact description of your orange girl. We joke about him being an orange that baked a little too long.
