Weiss is not even partially based on the Snow Queen.

Kathleen Zuelch said-- And before you guys get all "Kathleen doesn't know anything about the characters and their inspirations!!!11!1" she says in the video that she actually had a conversation with Monty about that stuff. She said that Weiss alludes to Snow White. In regards to Snow Queen, she says "Snow Queen? No."

Personally, I think that the characters themselves only allude to one thing, but their appearances can be inspired by and/or allude to other things, like Torchwick's appearance being apparently somewhat inspired by the dude from Clockwork Orange (though, his appearance also has similarities to Disney's version of Lampwick/Candlewick), and Neptune's appearance being inspired by a K-Pop star.
