I don't understand people who app from the books but keep the show's age/appearance. As someone who watched the show before reading the books, I was actually shocked at how different some of the situations were due to age. Especially Dany's. I just don't understand why you would app book Dany (a child) but have her portrayed by show Dany (an adult). Book Dany's experience is far more shocking and tragic because of her young age. She was a little girl forced to be with a grown man, not an adult forced to be with another adult like in the show. There's a huge difference in how that psychologically affects someone, and I'd argue that adult Dany's mental state is not the same as child Dany because she had time to mature and grow before being forced into her situation. She's not an innocent child. Why not just app from the show if you want to play adult Dany? Trying to consolidate the two seems like an attempt to gloss over the serious issues that come with her age and situation, in which case the person isn't truly apping the book version at all, but rather an AU one where they pick and choose traits from two noticeably different versions of the character.

I don't get A) why people do this and B) why it's even allowed in games without an AU specification, tbh.
