Very good hat/hair combo piece.
Fourth redddish-brown brunette in five days. Hair was later used with a red hat for a Hermione Granger minifigure. Which is kind of full circle, as Olivia's original characterization and design seems to have been somewhat inspired by Hermione, who due to HP's popularity around the last film at the time was one of if not THE most popular female characters in contemporary fiction. Though of course there is no official conformation of Olivia being a somewhat derivative character.

Hey, we've never seen https://brickset.com/article/125097/random-minifig-of-the-day-rac100 with his helmet off as far as I know, so it might be the fifth!

Friends introduced a few of these but they're pretty rare for some reason... I'm quite fond of the not-quite Carmen San Diego hat+hair (79989) which has sadly not appeared in two years.
Lego did a great job with these mini dolls. It's nice to see the characters in variety of outfits and hair pieces.
This is a good hair/hat combo, yes. It's a delight. If you have a spare on hand, you can also use it for a Dave Grohl minifigure.
Enjoy.

Probably not; though it's hidden by his helmet in the main picture, he has a red fringe printed on his forehead: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626pb0124 That said, he wouldn't be the first minifigure to have a red streak dyed into a different hair colour (Mission Deep Sea's version of Flex comes to mind), so I guess can't rule it out completely...!
Still. Nice to see Huwbot's newest trend is continuing, despite taking a day off from it yesterday ^^
Are those Pac-Man ghosts on her shirt?

Sort of hard to tell. They're definitely shaped right, but if you go to the Bricklink part entry for her torso (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=FTGpb221c01&idColor=28T=P&C=28) and zoom in, some of the details don't look quite right.
