As much as I like Neo, she doesn't really have too much potential. Her main motivation right now is "Get Revenge on the people responsible for Roman's death", those people being Ruby and Cinder. Ruby has protagonist powers so she isn't gonna get that revenge part, and its ambiguous if she even blames Ruby since it was Cinder she targetted, and Cinder only assumes Neo wants to kill Ruby when it looks more like Neo is just waiting to backstab her. So the only directions she has available at the moment are:

1. Kill Cinder and go her merry way.

2. Fail to Kill Cinder and die in the process.

3. Work with Cinder to kill Ruby and either be captured or die in the process.

4. Kill Cinder then become Ruby's Adam, as in a recurring Villain that refuses to go the fuck away and is largely unimportant to the greater plot.

5. Defect to the Heroes.

Any potential beyond that would require she have an interest in remaining in the plot. Three of the options involve her leaving the plot, two via death, one via no longer being needed. One turns her into a non-yandere version of Adam. The one with the most potential, her defecting and joining the protagonists, is the least likely option, as hatred of Cinder or not, she still doesn't seem to like the Heroes, and its doubtful Yang or Ruby would be willing to give her a chance.
