Scripts-->Initialization-->init_characters, it's a tabbed script with init_character_maria as the only alternate tab at the moment. At the bottom you'll see the lines of code that initializes sprites. To fully add a new character, I guess what you should do is...

• Make a new constant for the character's ID (must have a different value from char_MARIA)... you could use the existing constants char_LOUISE, char_PRINCE, char_FROG and char_SUNSHINE if you'd like to, of course.
• Make a copy of init_character_maria (create a new tab and copypaste init_character_maria's code text into it) and use the search-replace feature to replace "char_MARIA" with the new character constant
• Change the sprite assignments to the new character's sprites (they're at the bottom of the script).
• Don't forget to call the script from init_characters, just how it calls init_character_maria.
• To change the active character, just assign the character ID to the variable global.playerchar based on what the player selects - it's always assigned char_MARIA by default since the demo only has 1 character. You can make the menu any way you want~

I think that's all you need to do, hopefully I didn't forget anything :) Just hit me up with more comments if there's any problems~
