What I expected to happen:
To look like as my sprite when she talks.

What actually happened:
She looks like as my Rank sprite when talks.

No, this is more of a principal and technical thing. To assign a sprite to an NPC (the NPC "wears" a specific sprite), it needs to pass over the filename of the sprite.
The downloaded sprites only exist in the RAM of the computer though and don't have any file attached to them.

So it's impossible?

It's impossible to achieve using the current system.
It's not impossible to visually represent the skin on an entity (as you can see on your own player), but those occurrences are hardcoded.
Also, the player sprites are not supposed to be used by anybody else other than the player itself.
You just need to accept that the copycat isn't perfect all the time

Last line is pretty sad.
