Are there any other RWBY characters that were based on other stories? A lot of the RWBY characters are based on or made similar to popular storybook characters. eg:


Ruby Rose - Red Riding Hood
Weiss Schnee - Snow White
Cinder Fall &amp; Salem - Cinderella &amp; her Fairy God Mother
Sun - from Journey to the West.


Are there any other characters that were based on other stories?
