Winter fought first to get out of that life, and encouraged Weiss to do the same, but it seems to really have stopped at Weiss.
Either she focused too much on getting herself out, or at the time Weiss was training to get herself out, Jacques focused onto Whitley to make him into the perfect child so he wouldnt try to leave.
Him not having a semblance, Jacques wouldnt allow that, so he makes Whitley believe that it's a lowly career. Him being so focused on doing whatever Jacques says, just as Jacques wants.
He even says to Weiss 'It's foolish to not do as what Father says'. (or something along those lines). And if that doesnt sound like a kid who is manipulated then Idk what does.
Whitley getting so much focus from Jacques, Weiss wouldnt be able to do anything about helping him see the error of his fathers ways, he's manipulated into thinking his fathers ways are the correct ways, that his sisters are in the total wrong, and that's why he doesnt like them.
Whitley is meant to represent what Weiss was terrified of becoming, me thinks. Someone controlled totally by Jacques.
