Oh really Conrad. Then tell me:

-What Dust needs to be combined to make Glass Dust?

-What kind of energy does Glass Dust has?

-What can it be used for?

-What color is it?

Also:

-They can be combined to create new kinds of Dust...which are still elemental, to different points. Combine fire and ice, you get water. Combine fire and earth, you get stone.

-What makes the most sense, is Neo's Semblance being FUCKING ILLUSION, or similar. Something that alters what you see and probably hear. Why? Because it justifies and explains EVERYTHING about her, even that example in the OP.

1-She used her Semblance so RWBY saw a fake Neo and Roman instead of the real ones, while the real Neo and Roman escaped to the ship.

2-In No Brakes, she used her Semblance before Yang hit her, so she wouldn't see Neo attack her before her hit landed.

3-When she dissapeared when Raven arrived, it can be explained 2 ways: Either she made an Ilusion to not be seen, or that particular Neo was an Ilusion itself.

3.1-If she was an Ilusion, yes she could have caused enough pain to beat Yang. Why? Because the mind controls the body. If you think you're pregnant, you'll start showing simptoms of being pregnant, even if you are not. If you think what you're grabbing is water and not sand, it will feel like water. If you think it's not being really hot, you won't feel much heat as you normally would.

And, I've already seen characters that use Ilusions of different kinds, which the characters feel their attacks and such, with pain and sometimes even injuries, but it's all fake. They feel it, but it's an Ilusion.

4-As such, Ilusion explains a lot more than just "Teleportation".

-The Dust Cinder uses in ep7 certainly looks like Fire Dust, what with the flames that appear when Cinder "forms" the weapons, not to mention that "heated" look on her clothes when she does that. The Dust she used in that episode, and in ep1 of Vol.1, neither showed anything that seemed to come from, looked, or sounded like Glass, beyond her heels.

Got anything else to add?
