I can't give you five but here are a couple:

Calpurnia is wise about race and culture:

It's right hard to say," she said. "Suppose you and Scout talked colored-folks' talk at home it'd be out of place, wouldn't it? Now what if I talked white-folks' talk at church, and with my neighbors? They'd think I was puttin' on airs to beat Moses." ch 12

Cal is a parental figure to Scout. Here she teaches Scout a lesson about manners when Scout rudely comments on Walter's eating:

There's some folks who don't eat like us," she whispered fiercely, "but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't. That boy's yo' comp'ny and if he wants to eat up the table cloth you let him, you hear?" ch 3
