Squee, mint with polka dots looks so great on Hayley! Nice job!
What confused me about possessive forms is that according to what I was taught, you only put apostrophe to words that end with 's', but if it's a name of an individual person, like James or Chris, the second 's' should be there, and it should be pronounced with the second 's'. University of Bristol, Faculty of Arts states that "both are acceptable. Whichever you decide to use, make sure you are consistent. The university English department's style guide recommends that proper nouns that end in -s form their possessive form by adding -'s. The exceptions to this rule are proper nouns that are Latin or Greek in origin." Grammarly.com says both options are correct. In conclusion, I'm fine with both, and prefer Character Options' without the additional 's', since that one is technically a plural.
