I can imagine Neon's snarky attitude is a defense mechanism against the hecklers at Atlas. Unlike Ilia, she can't fully pass for human, her tail gives her away. Considering how hostile Atlas is towards Faunus, it's not really surprising. Thankfully Neon stayed on the side of justice, unlike many in Mantle and Atlas. Will she appear again, we'll just have to wait and see.
