Context: 月見坂桐葉 works as a 声優 who has recently dubbed for a heroine named 朱莉 in
an anime. But her performance has been criticized by her teacher called 姫子,
who is the author of a light novel from which the anime is adapted. The
protagnist 寿季 is helping 桐葉 understand the act of 朱莉 in the novel. And, after
reaching his conclusion, 寿季 arranges to meet 姫子 somewhere at the school to
check his answer with the teacher.

Could you translate the bold part? I'm not sure how I should understand it,
especially the 乗せる. (桐葉 decided to overlap 朱莉?)

And what is the subject of 大人らしい回りくどいやり方をする? Is it 先生? The な doesn't mean
"don't", right?

question
word-usage
Help understanding 自分自身すらも朱莉に乗せる判断をした?
A literal translation is "to put/load even herself (桐葉) onto 朱莉", and this is
basically just a paraphrase of キャラクターに自分を重ね合わせる (although キャラクターに自分を乗せる sounds
less common to me). As an actress, 桐葉 may be able to put something like
energy/emotion/spirit into the voice of 朱莉, but 寿季 and 先生 are thinking that's
not enough. The point is that 桐葉 should not hide the existence of herself even
when she is playing the role of someone else. The audience should be able to
always feel not only 朱莉 but also 桐葉.

That な doesn't mean "don't". It's a friend of よ/ね/わ.
