Much closer to how I imagine Brienne in the books. Artbreeder is a tricky program.

look I like gwendolyn christie and peter dinklage a lot and I think they did a really good job on the show and everything and the issue isn't even really that they're not ugly enough. it's that they're not young enough. tyrion's cynicism and wit and sentimentality and rage all come across really differently from a guy in his forties than from a guy in his early twenties. and brienne my god in the books she's a baby. she's a teenager. when she's wandering all over westeros looking for sansa she keeps telling people she's looking for her "sister" and although yes it's because she's afraid to use sansa's name or explain why she's looking for her it's also because she saw catelyn as a mother. with renly she's a kid with her first crush and it's as silly and misguided and heartbreaking as sansa's crush on the knight of flowers. jaime is like. the first guy she has ever actually met. every time he does anything she's like "what are you doing 😠" and he's like "having a personality 😉" and she's like "well don't"

Two observations: 1. Brienne knows Jaime.
He is probably the man she knows best, of all the men she knows--better than Renly, much as she may have wished otherwise, and likely better than her father.  Jaime even remarks upon how well they know each other; the feat is greater on her part, since he is the better at hiding his true nature from the world.
She learns that his reputation as a great swordsman is not exaggerated. Even weak and in chains he's nearly able to beat her. It's one of the things that she can't help but admire about him, no matter how poorly she at first thinks of him.
They’re quite literally forced into proximity, where she must clean him and care for him. She is with him at his lowest, when he's lost that which he thinks defines him and gives him purpose, and she keeps him from succumbing to despair. She's able to say the thing he needs to hear to keep him fighting.
She’s the only person who knows the truth about why he killed Aerys. It is the secret he was never supposed to reveal and he entrusts it to her. She carries that knowledge with her, and it changes her, as knowledge is wont to do.
Brienne knows Jaime, and he’s still the one she cries out for in the delirium of her most grievous injury.  She knows him, and she still refuses to condemn him until the threat of a truly terrible injustice forces her to.
2. Jaime chooses Brienne.
True, in some cases he acts merely as any decent human would to another: he uses the oar to help her back into the boat, rather than clubbing her over the head and leaving her to drown, as he thinks he should; he counsels and lies and shouts and is beaten to protect her body and mind and honor from assault.  And early on in their acquaintance he claims no control over the way his body reacts to hers, and over the way his thoughts turn to her.
But time and again he acts to aid her.  He thinks that she is stupid and stubborn and that she deserves whatever happens to her; and he does all he can to prevent it.
It's not enough that he merely returns to Harrenhal for her. He offers Vargo Hoat gold and sapphires in exchange for her safety; when that fails Jaime jumps into the pit to protect her, with no plan and no thought for his own safety. Acting in her defense and protecting her good name becomes a habit.
He gives her what she's always wanted: a sword. But it's not just a sword; it's a priceless weapon and a quest and a chance to do what's right and good and honorable. It's his belief in her.
When Cersei pleads for his help, he burns the letter.  When Brienne tells him she knows where Sansa is, he follows her without question.

"How is it that you did not wed?" Jaime asked him.
"Why, I went to Tarth and saw her. I had six years on her, yet the wench could look me in the eye. She was a sow in silk, though most sows have bigger teats. When she tried to talk she almost chocked on her own tongue. I gave her a rose and told her it was all that she would ever have from me." Connington glanced into the pit. "The bear was less hairy than that freak, I'll----"
Jaime's golden hand cracked him across the mouth so hard the other knight went stumbling down the steps. His lantern fell and smashed, and the oil spread out, burning.
"You are speaking of a highborn lady, ser. Call her by her name. Call her Brienne."
Connington edged away from the spreading flames on his hands and knees. "Brienne. If it please my lord." He spat a glob of blood on Jaime's foot. "Brienne the Beauty."

I can't wait until I'm 83 years old and I'm sitting in the corner at Christmas dinner and I start crying and my beautiful granddaughter says, "Aw, Ma, what's wrong?", and I sniffle and say, "You don't understand, he said 'I dreamed of you,' he sees the ideal version of himself and of humanity in her"

brienne: jaime. jaime that thing you just said. it wasn't true
jaime: okay, brienne, see, sometimes you can tell people things that aren't true, and then that stops them from doing bad things you don't want them to do, because they think there will be a benefit to not doing them. this is called lying to save someone.
brienne: I have to think about this
*one year later, when someone brienne cares about is in danger*
brienne: wait! stop! I know a lie!
