reason + logic+ impact constallation

First of all: Sorry for my poor english:
I read a lot about dramatica theory and I am planning an all age story (novel) using some points of it.
In the story the love interest of the main character/protagonist (in one character) is the impact character, too. She is very emotional and sensitive and often uncertain but hides this behind a wall of logic and short-tempered aggressiveness. So she takes the role of "reason" but with the short-tempered attribute of "emotion"). Normaly i would need to have the counterpart "calm but emotional".
That would fit best to the main/prot, but i am not sure if it is ok to let the prot take this role or if i am in need to construct one more character to have a good dramatic constellation (i would prefer not to do so). (There are also sidekick, skeptic, guardian, antagonist and contagonist atm).
