Mass Sprite Sheet Expansion Battle & NPC

Wouldn't have to use any part of the sprite sheet to make a "portrait" sprite, portraits are an entirely seperate (even if your using a custom sprite as a portrait).

The real problem there is how the palettes are handled, for all normal intentions, every portrait has its own full palette. Not sure if thats possible for 100+ portraits. Still not sure how they read/load that data. Worst case, all of the upper sprites might have to have a shadowed siloette as a portrait to not seem out of place.
