She was meant to show that she could beat the best Huntsmen-in-training from around the world. I don't think the Aura transfer stuff mentioned by Ironwood was a coincidence. Penny being able to generate an Aura means she most likely has an actual Aura from someone. There are many who thought Penny was a replacement for a daughter her "father" lost, but the Aura transfer technology created another explanation. As I suggested once before, it could mean that Penny actually is his daughter, or at least her Aura belonged to his daughter. One can imagine Penny's father having had a daughter who was dying from some horrific illness or something to that effect, and created a new robot body for her and transfered the Aura. She may not be remember him because something went wrong with the transfer.

It can go further than that: If things get desparete enough, the Schnees could supply Atlas with their workers for aura harvesting.
