Fictional characters cannot have personality rights, for obvious reasons.

That falls under copyright, trademarks, ...

Yes, but not the fictional character. Scarlett Johansson's character in her, credited only as "voice", is a fictional character.

No one claimed the fictional character's personality rights were infringed.

People who want to use an actor's likeness can't get around likeness rights by saying they impersonated a specific performance actually.
