Which design?

I’m working on a story revolving around two brothers visiting their uncle. The older brother, Alex, is cautious and kind while the younger, Georgie, is wild and naive. Which head design do you think fits these personalities best?
Wonderful drawings :) For alex I like the one in the middle the most. He has such a gentle vibe. For Georgie I'd like the left face with the hair from the right. The left face gives this cheeky jet smart impression :) But would make the hair wilter because on the left he looks a little bit to well-behaved.
Hi Terence,
I think the middle one for both. For Alex, I think the middle one also has the most distinct 'character' to it as well, comes across as a thoughtful guy. For George, perhaps even the hair of the third one on the face of the second, as the third one's hair is a bit more 'wild' and lends to your description, though the face is more serious.
Hey Terrence, I really enjoy these designs. I think that my favourite just by feel would be the center one of Alex. That hair + face shape is just fantastic. What pops into my mind is that he'd be completely at home in my favourite video game series, The Legend of Zelda.
As for which designs work for those personalities. My personal pick for Alex is still the center one. I think that the smooth gentle curves make him seem really kind and inviting. The one on the left would be my second choice, it just doesn't seem as unique/interesting as the center. I'm not sure whether you were planning to keep the pairs together (center Alex with center Georgie), in which case I would still go with the middle ones, or if you wanted to mix and match.
For Georgie, I'm leaning towards either the center one or the one on the right. I think they are both just more interesting than the one on the left even though it still captures the character pretty well. I think the one on the very right gives you an interesting visual contrast between the brothers that coincides with the difference in their personalities. But the middle one also works for the character if you want them to look more alike. Additionally, my gut reaction is that the middle one looks slightly more naive, while the one on the right captures the wild aspect better.
I hope some of these thoughts prove helpful. Just the designs alone make me want to read the story and learn more about these characters. I'm excited to see the final product!
