I hope we do see Neo again but as for her joining team RNJR I'm not too sure. About Neo doing something to make us hate her I would think that not showing up again would definitely be able to do that but I hope that that isn't the case. Her and Roman are my favorite RWBY villains so far. If we do see her again I would imagine that it would be after RNJR arrives in Mistral since it's practically the central hub of the criminal underworld in Remnant so it would make sense for that to be where she is for now. Maybe also using Roman's connections to try and find info on Ruby since she was the last person to see Roman alive.

As for Roman I would assume that he is most definitely dead for all of the reasons that other people have mentioned above. If we do see him again I would think it would be in a backstory episode for Neo or a flashback of hers.

I don't think Neo would want revenge on Cinder as Neo would blame Ruby to some extent at the very least. I could see Neo wanting to find out what happened to Roman from Ruby as Neo would probably find it very hard to believe that Ruby beat Roman and either directly or indirectly killed him. After all he did a good job fighting against Blake and Sun. And if we look at the rest of the people who work under Cinder (Adam, Mercury and Emerald ) they are all highly skilled so we could assume the same of Roman. He even almost verbally threatened Mercury and Emerald but only stopped because of Cinder.

So I would imagine that Neo would be more or less doing her own thing as she had loyalty to Roman, not Cinder. After all Neo and Roman had a type of father daughter relationship and Cinder was threatening them just like Adam and the White Fang so she probably wouldn't willingly go back to her. Also considering her semblance she could hide from them if need be.

I would also imagine that like RT said that she would be a lot more dangerous now. Roman probably helped reign in some of Neo's sadistic side so now she would be without restraints and have a vendetta. I guess Ruby could somehow convince Neo that it wasn't her fault but I have no idea how Neo would react with that kind of information or if she'd even believe it. After all she'd want her revenge. Also Neo would have some of advantages over RNJR considering her septima and the fact that only Ruby knows what she really (?) looks like. So a fight would sure be interesting.

By the way we know that Neo's semblance is some type of illusion and we sort of saw her teleport but if she can teleport then why didn't she teleport back onto the Bullhead when she was knocked off. But if she can't teleport then after Raven left the train she could have simply showed up again. But then again if she could teleport than she could do the same. On the topic of semblances isn't it weird how Ren hasn't shown his yet. Maybe it's a passive one.

Also and this is more or less head cannon. It would be interesting if Neo knew Jaune as he could have got his faked transcripts from Roman. She would have probably been in disguise at the time though. Or maybe not considering she wasn't at the White Fang meeting. I personally like that idea but I'd bet against that being the case.

So what do you think?
