Note: Neco-Arc lacks seriousness

Neco-Arc is the most widely known version of Arcueid Brunestud. In Tsukihime, she is found "assisting" Ciel-sensei in giving the player information. She has a bigger role in Kagetsu Tohya where she fights Ciel in a boxing match. She also has a role in the upcoming "Neco-Arc: THE MOVIE". She appears in Melty Blood and claims to come from the garden of cats-nya~.

Now for the serious version

Neco-Arc is the mascot of Type-Moon and is a pint-size cat girl parody of Arcueid, the main heroine of. The name is written as "neco" because it is the romanization that has been used from the start by French Bread, even though the more used romanization of the Japanese word for "cat" should be "neko". She appears as playable character in Melty Blood, appears in Ciel's Lesson, and cameos in Kagetsu Tohya in one rather strange fight scene.

Though Neko-Arc could be considered to be a completely different entity from Acrueid, there have been moments where Neko-Arc transforms into Arcrueid and visa-versa. Also, during conversations between Neko-Arc and Ciel-sensei, Ciel often refer to Neko-Arc as if she were Arcrueid herself. Of course, all of these moments only happens during joke stories and scenes and Neko-Arc herself is just a joke and does not likely exist in the canon storyline.

In Melty Blood Act Cadenza, Blue says that "Neko Arc is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorgs work"

Cameos
Neco-Arc makes a small, almost unnoticeable cameo in the English version of the Fate/Stay Night visual novel. In the Status section, under Caster, if one looks at Caster's Skills, on her first page (High-Speed Divine Language), Neco-Arc can be faintly seen at the bottom of the text box explaining the skill. The 'subliminal' Neco-Arc was added by a member of mirror moon unbeknownst to the rest of the translation team, and remained undiscovered until after the release. 

Neco-Arc makes appearances in the stop-motion extras at the start of the Kara no Kyoukai movies.

Neco-Arc is a playable character in the "Fate/Tiger Colosseum: Upper" for PSP

TYPE-MOON has created two fake films as April Fools' Day jokes. The first was Neco-Arc The Movie and the second was Neco-Arc Evolution. Evolution was produced by "Twentieth Century Cats" and its theme song was "Neco Illusion 2009."
