Need mod help! Speech file error+sprite

[Floramau]

Hi! Okay so uh I've been trying to make a mod for a bit now but I keep getting an error when trying to load the mod, I've edited the speech file to how I'd like it but it keeps saying:

That's only a lil piece of it and as well as the sprite issue, I replaced the speech file with Webbers' to see if my sprite will show up but it only shows the template character instead of my own, it doesn't crash but I want to know what I can fix. It'll be lovely if someone could help even a little bit!
