HOMM3 Modification - Sorsha the Knight

Sorsha is the next knight. Although she's hardly dressed like you're typical action-grrl; she looks more like a princess than a knight. Which is why she's kind of attractive, I suppose. Not sure why she's out mucking around with the soldiers. Major red flag, boys! Anyway, I don't think we're supposed to relate to these characters like they're PCs in an RPG; they're just pawns on a chessboard, more like. Her specialty is swordsmen, which makes her identical to Roland and Catherine... who, to be fair, weren't normally expected to be available on maps, unless you specifically alter the map specifications to allow them.

You'll probably notice that, as is often the case, there are three that are very similar to the original, and unless the original is a bad design, that's usually desirable. I think Sorsha has one of the better original designs, so I was ever going to choose from amont any other than the ensrick and the two Stable Diffusion collections. 

I actually kind of like the pleasant understated amusement on her face from Stable Diffusion 2, but the rest of that one is pretty low res and underdetailed compared to the others. Ensrick and Stable Diffusion AI are very similar, but the latter has blurred out the background, and is missing the lock of hair that Sorsha had in the original. 

WINNER: Ensrick, once again.
