Sleeping beauty works in the literal sense sure, but the elements seem stronger for Snow White. She's good natured and comfortable living in the woods, doing good deeds; the apple shows itself when she tries giving it to mini Em, the poison is taking her down/suppressing her/stealing her power; she had to be killed/suppressed more than once (aura, maiden power, and now aura transfer); she's in a glass case rather than a bed, and has the chance to come back once Pyrrha goes along with the transfer. The evil queen (black queen/Cinder) asking her mirror who is best wants to steal her powers and take them for herself or make it so she can't be out done.

Sleeping beauty was more about a witch cursing her at a young age (maiden powers), living in the woods doing good deeds to avoid the curse (again, maiden powers), pricking her finger with wood from a cloth maker (connection to the glove?), sleeping in a bed in the castle (cryo chamber in the Beacon Basement) to wither away until a prince with true love (Pyrrha) wakes her with a kiss (transfer).

Both work I guess if you really look for the similarities, but the visuals point more towards Snow White to me. You also notice the more mythological part of the story seems to correlate more directly with the tales than the characters based off of the fairy tales.
