1. Salem has stronger ties to Ozpin, not only diectly talking with and addressing him, but also both characters sharing a lack CNR connection. It would be unusual for Salem's inspiration to be tied more so to her lackey than someone like Ozpin.

Out of interest regardless of this debate (talk? argument?) which do you honestly think is the more likely allusion? I won't try and be a dick and treat it as a point either.

2.With Adam, i'm sure there are a lot of people with just the name Adam. He could have any number of allusion going on just namesake but Salem is a very unusual word with a unique association with its history.

3. Ironwood associated with Ozpin, Salem associated with Cinder.

Ironwood made out of metal to strengthen connection, Salem and Cinder's connection weakened by Salem's namesake not really matching Cinder's fairy godmother.

Ironwood has a wizard of Oz joke directed towards him, Salem and Cinder...

Ironwood is like I said, not the best comparison for allusion guessing as Salem.
