On the contrary, the hoodie and the blonde hair and the naivitie suggest he is from Vale, sort of the good neighborhood suburb sort of thing, fitting with his sheltered life.

I think that Jaune probably comes from an upper-middle-class background; his parents might even be lawyers or politicians. So, it would make sense that they are ambitious on his behalf, even if he would be happier doing something else. Jaune strikes me as the sort of personality who would want to please them out of a sense of familial love.

I can imagine that Jaune's mother used to give him his school lunch disassembled into bits so he could put everything together in the cafeteria and the bread wouldn't get soggy or anything. She probably also almost always has her PDA in one hand and is wearing a business suit.

I suspect that the first time she meets Pyrrha, she'll be a dragon ("So! You're the one who thinks she's good enough for my son!"). After she gets used to the JNPR kids, Pyrrha and, to a lesser extent, Nora will find themselves suddenly her surrogate daughters with her trying to 'arrange' things for them ("The Hendersons are the loveliest people! You'll really enjoy their scones!").

[edit]

So, as an upper middle-class kid, I think that Jaune probably lived in the outer suburbs in a nice twin-level town house, probably with a large garage and a large garden at the back with a decked patio. His mother and father probably also have an apartment in the city where they stay during the week.

I've got a mental image of Weiss muttering scornfully about 'Neuvo Riche' and a genuinely puzzled Blake asking how anyone could need that much space in a house.

YANG: "WOOOAAAHHH! Is that a TV screen or a home movie theatre?" Awesome idea. I think that would be pretty cool
