>Even Jacques was given some backstory through World of Remnant Neo has literally no backstory. All we know about her is what has been shown in real time. Backstory is defined as events that occured before we first saw them on the show. And we don't know anything about her that predates her first appearance on the show.

The irony is that we actually do have backstory for Cinder, as the events detailing her recruitment of Emerald, Mercury, and Adam qualify as backstory. It may not be much, but it is technically backstory.

So, if anything, Neo is the only villain on this show with literally no backstory.
