Maybe the argument goes that making Penny as lifelike as possible was necessary to insure effective generation of an Aura, though perhaps it was just a rationalization. It is also possible that Penny was originally designed to be a surrogate daughter, but the government came in and forced her creator to use his work towards a military purpose after recognizing its potential.

Regarding the other android, I am talking about this sandy-haired girl:



and the fact she looks identical to the sandy-haired girl in this picture:



Yet the color of their eyes are completely different, which does not make a whole lot of sense unless they are two separate individuals who are not related. Plus, the Schnee operator acts kind of odd when you think about it. Not only is it the way she speaks, but the fact that a human would probably question why Weiss is requesting sensitive files more seriously and express greater concern about her behavior, especially a human with the ability to transfer such files. On the other hand, an android who is not designed to ask tough questions of authority figures, even ones as young as Weiss, would be more likely to just politely hand over the files without batting an eye. It also might do a better job explaining the behavior Weiss exhibited while talking to her. Weiss did not try very hard to trick the operator so this is either one seriously incompetent employee or an android Weiss knew only needed a minimal effort to persude.
