For what? Perhaps as a counterbalance to Yang, so that Yang doesn't act as some kind of trump card for Team RWBY against Roman when Cinder and co aren't around.

If I'm right, then... Neo was made to be Yang's rival. Jeezus. I just glanced back at this thread for funsies, and prophetic Chishio happened.
