Character design help

[Lasca]

Hey guys. I'm working on a character design and I'm having some trouble. I like the face forward, put for some reason I really can't get the profile version to match the forward one. I just doesn't feel like the same person. Here you have 'em:



It feels like it's the nose. And the cheeks. And the hair. The ear. Oh my.
Anyways, this was the best of too many resketches and I need some new input. Feel free to redraw, reposition, whatever. But remeber it's the one on the right I want to change, I like the look of the left one (although feel free to comment on it).
Thanks a bunch!

It's really not my style, so pardon for the crude edit 

- a rounder head
- exaggerated the puffy cheeks
- made animuh side-mouth less obvious

Maybe you can use some o'that...

Thanks Ghost! Most of it makes perfect sense!
Thanks a lot!
