Cool characters. Grok looks very cinematic, like a movie still. The other two look like a capture from a video game; the character is more vivid and more separated from the background.

I think image 1 is the best. But to be honest: I have no clue who Arya Stark is 🤣😅

All are great. I'd go with 3, being the closest to my own imaging of Arya. Though long time since I read the books. 1 is great just not how I imagine her, can't recall which chracter she might be a better likeness of. Would love to re-read the series, if and when the annoying Martin can ever focus and finish, rather than working on all the side projects.

Noice😉👌#1 has better armour details, I like that she is aged up too, maybe revisiting the North after adventuring through Westeros.
