I'm not sure if it's the start of a solution, but you could maybe change the #$36 or the value it reference in the $C2B4BE table? I'm not sure what this table value (#$0F18) does exactly but it points to something.. Looking at the animation script, there is nothing about character ID so the answer is probably in bank $C1..
