Why is it masculine?

Personaje is masculine because it derives from Latin "personagium," a noun formed from "persona" (mask, character) with the masculine suffix "-agium," which typically produced masculine nouns in Medieval Latin and carried that gender into Spanish. The suffix pattern established the word as inherently masculine regardless of whether it refers to male or female characters.
