Evidence in support of this is the fact that she's not an independent Hunttess, but a Specialist in the Atlesian military, an organization with close ties to the SDC (in V2E3, Ironwood said that the Kingdom amd military of Atlas worked closly with the SDC on the development of the AK-200s and the Paladins). The rest of your theory, especially the part aboit Winter being in trouble with daddy due to the Ironwood fiasco is good; I hadn't thought of that part.

On another note: just to clarify, what does DGAS stand for?

-He who is AWESOME I think SYUTK covered Winter's current situation with her father. Though while Papa Schnee cannot act against her directly without butting heads with Ironwood, he can keep her away from Weiss, thus removing a "problematic presence" from his youngest daughter's life. Thus he can continue to mold her into the perfect heiress without risking Winter fouling up his plans in any way.

Thus, seeing herself essentially shut out of Weiss' life, Winter makes a risky journey to Vale to try and find Ruby to gain her assistance in "rescuing" her imprisoned sister. Of course she's much too late, seeing Ruby is well en route to Haven at this point. And the only other option she finds there (Yang) doesn't instill her with a lot of confidence. But hey, this could be how Yang gets to Atlas to finally get that robotic arm, but we'll see in time.

And to answer your last question, DGAS stands for Don't Give A S***, which perfectly reflects Yang's current frame of mind. Hope this helps.
