I appreciate the both of you linking resources, and no, I am not whoever was here a few weeks ago
looking at the commit history and how the KRTW portraits (among others) were implemented only served to confuse me even more
the groundwork has clearly already been laid in Patche's char ERB file to have alts (compare with the extensive changes made recently to Wakasagihime's so that she could have her new alts made functional) but notably, since the original 7/2024 commit of the KRTW portraits, they have been removed from the Add_Image.ERB yet still function in-game, with that original addition being the only non-image/csv file modified when they were implemented
I finally managed to get my sprites to appear in-game by commenting out the paths in Koucha's Patche and changing the 別顔 # in my csv from 4 to 3 to replace it
my sprites are unoptimized WIP slop made (gen'd) to my tastes so I don't want to waste anybody else's time trying to get them working, at least not until all the variants are completed
this has been mind-boggling
