Hope your idea gets traction, honestly. One of my biggest gripest with BIA is those horrible horrible 3D portraits. But I don't know if CTX is what you need. Here's what the master BIA modder, svobovyc, says:

https://github.com/sbobovyc/JA-BiA-Tools/wiki/Getting-started

File formats

pak - custom archive format being used by JABiA
pak.crypt - encrypted pak files
ctx - compiled text, stores most in game text, supports multiple languages
deg - stores dynamic decal information
cui - compiled user interface file, definitions of in game GUI and its layout
crf - compiled resource file, 3D models used by JABiA
caf - compiled animation file

So you should be looking either at CRF/CAF or CUI files if you want to replace the anims. But if you're looking just to edit their bios, svobovyc already made a tool for CTX files (check the above github):
ctx_magick.exe - decompiles/compiles .ctx files
