What if we took it even farther than that? There are theories going around associating eye color with aura and semblances (just look at Yang's eyes when she's pissed, or Cinder's as she is about to use her half of the Fall Maiden powers). So, what if Neo's eye heterochromia has to do with her having more than one aura/soul? There is already circumstantial evidence that Atlas has been playing around in a moral gray area when it comes to aura/soul transmission. It is entirely possible that Neo was an attempt to create a better huntress by using someone's body (probably a young, impressionable Atlas recruit) as a receptacle for multiple souls (which would mean multiple semblances, and maybe even a stronger passive protection granted by numerous auras).

It would not only explain her weird eye color changes, it would allow RT to give her the two (apparently) unrelated powers she seems to have: teleportation and illusions. It makes her all the more dangerous as a supersoldier gone rogue, and explains her association with Roman, who may have a soft spot, and certainly a use, for Atlas military outcasts. Her role as an enemy of RWBY would also be enhanced; it gives her a motive (revenge) against a target we know the rest of the villians already have in their crosshairs (Atlas), as well as providing a cool foil to Penny, who would have been her successor as "expiremental superhuntress."
