===Personality===
Compared to the original Neco-Arc, her morals have been updated from the Jurassic period to the Permian. She often speaks in non-sensical, sometimes disturbing references and meta jokes. Like her original counterpart, she enjoys tormenting Miyako Arima. However, she is not used to dealing with someone who's pure-hearted yet serious, like Mash Kyrielight.
==Role==
===Tsukihime===
Neco-Arc accompanies Miss Ciel during the "Teach Me, Miss Ciel!" segments after the player reaches a bad end.
===Melty Blood: Type Lumina===
Neco-Arc accompanies Miyako in the story of the boss rush mode. She creates a what-if scenario where Miyako is the protagonist of Tsukihime, the "Miyako Route".
She also secretly creates a what-if scenario where Noel is the protagonist of Tsukihime, the "Noel Route", similar to "Ciel Route", but has her tragic fate that led her into a Dead Apostle being retconned where "A mysterious boy in a school uniform with a knife" saved her from Vlov Arkhangel's vampire bite on time.
In her own story mode, Neco-Arc teams up with Mash Kyrielight, who she somehow dragged along from her own world.
After working with Mash, Neco-Arc decides she wants more Servants, so summons Ushiwakamaru and Edmond Dantès in their respective story modes.
Neco-Arc is also revealed to be responsible for summoning Saber version of Artoria Pendragon, as well as being the main antagonist of the first two seasons which depicts four Boss Rush storyline involving a crossover where characters from the Tsukihime and Fate timelines fighting against each other.
Finally, she split Shiki into 17 crystal statues, each corresponding to a parallel version of him who fell in love with a different heroine, and arranged for the heroines to fight each other over the statues. As Miyako threatens to foil her plan, Neco-Arc summons the original Miyako Arima to fight her. Miyako defeats original Miyako, only to fall asleep because it was ten o' clock at night. Neco-Arc plans to sell the crystal statues for money. However, Shiki recombines himself into one through sheer willpower and cuts Neco-Arc into 108 pieces, banishing her back to Great Cat's Village.
Following her banishment, Neco-Arc remarks that even she needs time to regenerate from such an attack. However, a shadowy figure, apparently her superior, silently condemns her for her failure and strikes her down.
===Fate/Grand Order===
Neco-Arc appears in Ciel's Second Ascension animations.
==Abilities==
The old Neco-Arc having a 0:10 battle ratio compared to other characters was just too unorthodox. Now, her specs have been updated to have a 5:5 ratio when up against the same character (in other words, nothing has changed). Also, her catchphrase when firing her eye beams has been updated to reflect modern naming conventions.
By jumping left and right rapidly, she can activate a version of Luminous Body called .
In battle, she can summon various copies of herself through numerous apps on her smartphone, the . Using the Fate/Grand Order app, she can summon Black Keys, mapo tofu, curry rice, and Artoria Pendragon. In addition, she can also summon Eco-Arc.
According to Ushiwakamaru, she can regrow her head even after being decapitated. Also, even after being split into 108 pieces by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, she simply reappears in Great Cat's Village, apparently unharmed (though she remarks that she needed time to regenerate after being subjected to such an attack).
==Development==
===Comment from illustrator===
Takashi Takeuchi states that Neco-Arc's design changed a lot to match the changes in Arc, but its bratty childhood friend attitude really makes you feel like it has been like that.
