It's all in the appearance of the head. Her head is somewhat wide and child-like in its demeanor, which better fits on a body that's not as adult-looking. Hence, why she looks like someone took a child's head and stuck it on an adult body. Plus, the angle of the head plus its size relative to the neck and the shading give her that "man jaw" appearance that further plays havoc with her cutesy face. It's not necessarily in the proper body proportions (hell, everyone has no issue with the "heroic proportions" despite the fact that you wouldn't see an actual person with such a build), it's in how good it looks in art.

The enlargement fixes below basically solve the issue by making her head look just right for her body.

Note how her head proportions aren't much changed in her damaged art, and yet she has none of the problems that her normal art has, simply because the combination of pose and shading removes the aforementioned issues.
