Ananova will eventually be able to make appropriate facial expressions, depending on the tenor of the stories she is reading.
Ananova's range of expression may be limited, but no more so than the TV reporters' strictly codified gestures: the earnest nods of the head, and the looks of amusement or concern.
Ananova has the characteristics she has (white, young, and presumably upper-middle-class), because those are the traits that give her authority as somebody who can be trusted to tell us the news.

Ananova looks, acts, and behaves like any human newscaster; she displays a range of emotions that includes winking, smiling, and even snarling; and she can also speak 16 different languages.
Ananova is not based on any one person (although some people say she is a cross between Kylie Minogue, Carol Vorderman, and Posh Spice).
The technical challenge for Ananova's developers initially was how to engineer a fully-animated 3D character capable of creating dynamically-generated news bulletins in a style and tone appropriate to specific pieces of content.
