Game Portfolio-final colors for Dre9 & Inyuji

Like my previous post, I'm putting my concept designs here and on some other sites as well.
A little bit of backstory for these characters. In the near future, the world became altered and now there are pockets or zones that act like literal video game worlds. To live and survive in these "cyber" zones (looking for other names), P.A.V. Pals (Personal Anti-Virus) are created or assigned to fight against living "Viruses."

Dre9 wasn't designed by Inyuji. He was someone else's PAV Pal, until that owner passed away, leaving Dre9 in storage. And since Inyuji was initially broke & couldn't afford creating her own, she resorted to random selection.

For Dre9, I've chosen 5 color palettes that I really liked. So far my favorites are 3, & 5.
With Dre9 being a carefree, friendly, yet pragmatic A.I, a cool color scheme seemed to match well. But since he was originally someone ele's PAVPal, the color palette wouldn't necessarily match with Inyuji, unless it was coincidence.
 
Now for Inyuji (haha how egotistical of me), I was torn between having her color palette match closely to Dre9, or if I wanted some bit of contrast. 
  • Palette A: I didn't intend to swap her colors to pink and purple. It did wonders contrasting her from Dre9, but it didn't seem to fit her personality. Inyuji doesn't seem like a girl who likes pink and would be annoyed by it.
  • Palette B: the lower half would contrast with most of Dre9's color palettes. I can also write it off as an excuse for her having weird fashion tastes, & not having enough money to scrounge for the right outfit she wanted. After all, she tries her hardest to concentrate on her bare necessities.
  • Palette C: This is her initial, original design. The only way she'd contrast is if Dre9 wore palettes 1,2, & 4. On the other hand, Inyuji might prefer to have an PAV Pal that has a slightly matching color scheme as her. 
So now that begs the question, which one looks best on Dre9? Should he match with Inyuji? Or should they contrast? Which color pairing looks best?
