You are late to the party bro. Her update is the same one that introduced the puzzle quest to unlock Nita. She is designed as a foil to her.
She is colder, seeks power for greater good, even at the expense of it slowly killing her. The entire thing with Nerida is that while Nita fears the power she already has and how those flames can burn everyone around her, Nerida keeps trying to amass more and more power in different shapes like the titagen turning her into someone capable of felling Hela-type titans solo but which would kill her, the knowledge undersea and the prospects of how it could build a robot army to protect the people even though Edda is proof of an AI going rogue and even Adjutant himself.
The core of it all is that Nerida knows of the risks and still walks through them for her good ideals. Her first appearance establishes her character as someone that goes around saving people disregarding her bad reputation as a non-issue even though that is making her a lonely existence.
