Emerald seems to be finding a moral code, while Neo now despises Cinder and prioritizes her over the heroes. Emerald is the obvious redemption case. I kind of called that back a ways. Beginning of Volume 3 at least I was singling her out. Part of that is because she had a certain "doth protest too much" attitude about how cozy and friendly RWBY were with them. Neo is not someone I see being "redeemed" in part because she doesn't have much need for being redeemed. She personally hasn't done a whole lot other than help someone to whom she was loyal and, unlike with Emerald, Roman was just a generic criminal before he got in with Cinder. Based off "One Thing" she has a similar kind of story to Emerald in that respect.
