@WC-83 Yeah, I don't think he's sexist. I see Jacques as somebody who tries to be as practical as possible. Winter was no longer an option after joining the military, Weiss became too much of a problem so it became Whitley. Him being sexist could be a possibility. The family painting is often used as evidence for that with the three females being miserable, whilst the two males were happy. Of course it could also simply be that Whitley was more open to his father's teachings and thus obviously got spared more than Winter, Weiss and Willow.

If Whitley didn't rebel then there is also no reason to punish or in the worst case abuse him. Personality is unique to a person and in a family with multiple children there will always be a child you will get along with more and one you will get along with less. Parental favoritism always exist, the trick to good parenting is not letting it show through. Unless there was a clause into place that prevented him from skipping Weiss, he gave her a chance.

As for Nicholas it could be possible. Thanks to this discussion I have honestly become quite interested in what Jacques relationship with Nicholas was. Did Jacques hate Nicholas? Did he like him? Did they love each other (there's an idea for shippers, I don't think that ship has a name yet or any ship with Nicholas.)? Perhaps he does what he does because Nicholas entrusted the SDC and the Schnee name to him and because he liked the guy so much he goes to any lenght to 'please' or honor Nicholas.

Willow didn't agree with his ways of 'honoring' Nicholas and was thus labelled an 'enemy.' Later Winter and Weiss followed suit and also became 'enemies.' Whitley follows his father's thinking or at least humors him and is thus considered an 'ally.'

Before this discussion I barely thought about Nicholas. Now it's one of the subjects I want to know more about.

Jacques 'obsession' with the Schnee name in my eyes point to either a great will to honor Nicholas or to a sort of protection of his own accomplishment (from being a nobody to being a member of the wealthiest or one of the wealthiest families on Remnant).
