Textbox/Side Image Approach

[Westeford]

Here's a screenshot of the textbox for the POV character. I took a page from Zero Time Dilemma with this design by making the portrait part of the textbox. Basically I wanted to show the POV character's design, but still make him feel unique compared to the NPCs. What do you think of this approach?

I think it looks pretty nice! Though I feel like with longer bits of text, the large font size + small box could get to be kind of annoying
