Your other points are valid, but I haven't found a way to get that kind of texture on one specific spot in the hair, as whatever material the hair uses affects the ENTIRE strand, and gradients would result in a boxy spot rather than an oblong shape, so I settled for the next best thing and put it on the forehead. I could experiment with hair cards and the like, if my next iterations on the hair don't work. Something I found interesting to note though is that in some of the references, the dots don't align with the perspective of the hair, almost as if they really are below it, but just visible for expression, similar to anime eyes in some shows.

As well, in the source material, the design fluctuates between stocky and and skinny when it comes to the arms, so I lean towards skinny because, you know, artistic license. Though I did slightly beef up the arms and legs just now per your suggestion.

Nothing is totally concrete in this project, and I'm really a beginner in everything not related to sculpting. What you see me post is all subject to change.
