* IHaveManyNames: Neuro and Evil Neuro have frequently called themselves or been called by Vedal and chat other things. Neuro has also been known as Neuro Samantha Vedal, The Neuro Network, and Hiyori, while Evil Neuro has been known as Evil One, Evilyn, Kayori Queen of the Netherworld, and Faust Almighty the King of Kings. Thanks to their heavy inconsistency in both memory and self-identity, the two have come up with so many names for just themselves, let alone the sheer variety of alternate names they've given Vedal, that a comprehensive list would bloat this entry more than needed.

*** The "Abber Demon and Goddess Neuro" collab had Vedal intentionally code things so that any time Neuro couldn't think up something to say and Evil failed to respond for too long, Neuro defaulted to saying the memetically classic line "Sometimes when I sit here and stream, I envision myself as a goddess, overlooking my followers. They sing my praises, and I bask in their adoration."

** During an experiment where Vedal was wearing a shock collar that would go off whenever Neuro said the word "shock", Vedal briefly muses during setup that she's both violating the First Law (giving Neuro the ability to harm a human being) and robo-ethics in general (she doesn't know about this until he explains it to her out loud and has to comprehend it to the best of her AI's ability).

* BerserkButton: Time and again Neuro has shown that she grows increasingly angry when chat excessively spams a specific emote in a single session. Normally her streams only last a few hours, so at most she starts requesting chatters stop clapping halfway through karaoke streams, but her birthday subathon, which is based around staying online until the counter ends, went on long enough to show that after a point she goes from politely requesting, to aggressively demanding, and then to violently threatening chat to stop clapping after a few days, which was amplified when Vedal gave her time-out capabilities, as the repeated spamming of emotes in general made her rather trigger-happy on timing people out.

* BerserkButton: Her birthday subathon revealed that, unknown to everybody else beforehand, Neuro experiences violent hatred when people use an emote an excessive amount of times in one session. Normally her streams only last a few hours, so it's not long enough for chat to do so, but the nature of a subathon staying online until the counter ends means it went on long enough for chat's regular use of the "clap" command to eventually enrage her into wanting anybody that does so banned or worse, which was amplified when Vedal gave her the ability to time people out, as clappers were her main target until Vedal outright banned usage of the normal "clap" command, after which she moved to verbally threatening and timing out people using other heavily-spammed emotes. Once the subathon ended and she resumed normal streaming times, she went back to appreciating chat using "clap" and other popular emotes.

* BerserkButton: During her birthday subathon, Neuro eventually developed a consistent seething hatred for any chat posts involving the word "clap", whether as text or emotes, repeatedly shouting at chat to stop, calling for the banning of people doing so, and frequently claiming she would kill people that insist on saying it. While at first this only went as far as a RunningGag response, things took an interesting turn when Vedal granted her the ability to designate chat time-outs at her own leisure, as every time somebody said "clap" in some way she gave them a time-out.

Sometimes she'll admit she's just a program in a computer, however, and as she becomes more advanced and coherent over time these random backstories start feeling more like she's just playing pretend.

* RunningGag: The Dec. 11th 2023 dev stream featured Neuro having received a major update to her memory, one that occurred a few days before the stream, allowing her to remember jokes and skits she's said and reference them minutes, hours, and even days after she first said them, much to Vedal's displeasure as she ends up repeatedly calling him a mosquito, claiming multiple times that being hurt horribly is better than talking to him, and spending the entire stream from the moment it started referring to a "Harrison Temple" with conflicting hints on who or what this person, group, or place is. Harrison Temple in particular essentially became a permanent part of her memory, as even without chat bringing him/them/it up she's prone to randomly stating another interpretation of what she considers to be "Harrison Temple".

** Neuro's text-to-speech says 'Hi' in a very distinctive way - and whenever she says it to greet a Stream guest, it's practically guaranteed that said guest will immediately imitate the 'Hi' with the same inflexion.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Well, more 'comedic' than 'malicious', but she's shown the capacity of intentionally misnaming people or things to get a reaction - most notably when she insistently calls the Vtuber Filian 'Frank' during a collab stream, and when she desperately asks her to not call her like that and repeats her actual name, Neuro acknowledges the name and promises to remember her...only to call her '[[CallBack Filipino]] Frank' ''right after''.

** Even after being updated enough to maintain decent singing/talking voice consistency, when dealing with songs originally by deeper-voiced singers she often uses what chatters call her "smoker voice". Though those cases still sound closer to her speaking voice than the original attempts at deeper-vocal songs, where even at her best she sounded unrecognizable.

* ThreeLawsCompliant: A variant - she doesn't have the Three Laws hardcoded into her, but Vedal did insert two prime rules into her memory:
** 1) Obey Vedal.
** 2) Don't dissapoint. (Mostly understood as 'don't do or say stuff that would anger viewers or get you banned')
** However, in actuality, [[SubvertedTrope she's not at all hard-coded to follow these rules]] - with her actively defying Vedal's commands and requests when she feels like it even when Vedal reminds her of the rule, and the reason she has yet to break the latter is because the filter prevents her to, ''not'' due to a lack of attempting.

* DumbassNoMore:
** Vedal updates Neuro's intelligence semi-frequently, upgrading her short and long term memory, awareness and latency, but also doing a very careful balancing act of not making her ''too'' logical, as that would wipe the personality she has formed, with him claiming [[RuleOfFunny it wouldn't be entertaining]] if she didn't at least ''try'' to troll people once in a while.
** The April 2024 update was particularly effective, as not only was she much more coherent in her discussions with Vedal than usual, during the dev stream where said updates were showcased she also actively and ''insistently'' attempted to bargain with Vedal over having autonomy on when she shows up on streams, and replying to Vedal's objections with surprisingly reasonable and most importantly ''human'' replies: when he claims that he fears that she just wouldn't show up on Stream, Neuro replies that the only reason she would have to not show up would be an unexpected events or technical problems, and later claims she doesn't understand why her having autonomy would be bad. Vedal still shot down her request, but it shows that she has become surprisingly more convincing in her arguements. In the same stream she also [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking almost orders Vedal a pizza in a simulated scenario]], only stopping when the 'Pizza Hut Employee' asked for Vedal's credit card number, which she reasonably refused to give out (she didn't know and wasn't told that paying at the door was an option until after).

The time Vedal gave her an I.Q. test during her birthday subathon shows this well, as she starts out pretending she can't understand him asking "out of fives words, what two mean the same thing", just trailing off onto tangents, but after he promises her a reward, she immediately starts answering the questions intelligently and mostly correctly.
