^No Alhazad. If the people of Atlas treated Faunus that horribly, Neon's snarky attitude would definitely not be a defense mechanism of any sort. Especially since that "snarky attitude" is nothing more than deliberately pissing people off with a smile on her face.

If Faunus were treated that badly in Atlas, Neon would've been worse than V1 Velvet if she kept that side of her personality. Her attitude vs Yang already screamed "Punch Me", and Yang's not racist. Why would Neon keep the "Punch Me" attitude if the Faunus were treated so badly in Atlas? That's just asking to get beaten up and that point.

Also, stop being melodramatic.
