There is one tortie in my menagerie, Tiara, although she is a lap cat, and loves to be held and cuddled, she doesn't fight among the others. In fact, she is one of the few that does not cause problems with any newcomers, but appears to accept them right away. I have had torties in the past who conform to your description of this coat color of DSH cat.
(Edited) One of the latest additions to the menagerie is also a tortie kitten (Tippee). Her personality is more befitting of those already described on this forum. She hisses at the others, and generally wants to be by herself. She caused a lot of trouble at her first introduction to the pride. In fact, she got so worked up, she began to hiss at her littermate Tabbie (Tabitha).
If it wasn't for Tiara, I'd say that, Yes, Torties have "tortitude", however, Tiara doesn't fit the mold.
