I like the idea, but I think you'd have to redo the entire character index to make it work well. ^_^;; Linking to the whole page and making people scroll through a bunch of names they're not interested in when you've visually promised them a link to the sheet of a specific character is bad webiquette (imo) and misleading. You're promising a link to a specific sheet if you go "See Calliope's sheet here!" or something to that effect.
It's possible to do it the way that the sheets stand now by using anchors, but a general alphabetical index like the one Ysabet has now is actually pretty easy to break things the moment you need to add new people. LJ has a limit on post sizes, so eventually Ysabet might have to split the index pages up differently because they've become too long and that could cause linkrot for any characters who got moved to another page due to space issues.
If Ysabet wanted to go this route, it'd actually probably be better to look into shifting the indexes to a Weebly page and split the sheets up the way we're doing with the poems and include a link to a general "These are all the characters in this overall thread!" sheet on poems by default. Ysabet could still introduce new sheets like in this poem, but there'd be a note above them going "If you need the full list, go here" or something to that effect.
