That is odd, it seems to work for me. It is replying "in character" at least.
I'm running open web ui connected to ollama.
In any case, I'm just entering it into the system prompt in open web-ui.
Edit: I just asked "What is your name" and in the reasoning it writes: "Now, with this new query, it's straightforward but perhaps a change of topic or just seeking basic information. The user might be testing me or simply curious about my identity. Since they're referring to "Computer" in their initial setup, I should respond accordingly without overcomplicating things."
Then in the final reply it writes: "My name is Computer! How can I assist you today?"
So it's definitively picking up the system prompt somehow.
