A scooter is perfectly fine, it is superior to the 250 in two departments: storage space and low speed handling, both of which are important. However, your daughter is clearly capable of handling a sportbike that is better than a scooter in every other characteristic, looks just as adorable, and can easily cover it's disadvantages with a backpack and some riding time. Why limit her like this? Especially when she already has the gear to go with the sportbike look?

As for the silly boyish-look: The pregen 250s that share the square headlight historically have had their marketing leaning towards beginner riders and women.

Take a look at the picture of the 2008+ ninjas. Yes, the headlight is now frowning.
Take a look at the 2013+ 300 or ninja 250 or any recent sport bike, suddenly the lines are sharp and the headlights are going RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNGH PAIN I SHAVE WITH A DIE GRINDER.

Of all the motorcycles, you have picked one of the least of the evils.

If you really want to push for the bike. Don't totally discredit the scooter, make the Ninja 250 look like a ninjette and prove it is superior to the scooter for your purposes.
