Everyone in RWBY is based on something or someone, ranging from fairytales to sweets. But who or what is Winter's inspiration? Is it a poem like Summer Rose's inspiration? Or is it a character from some fairytale or book? Or is it just from the season itself?..... No that would be to simple!

My speculation is that it's either a poem, like Summer's, the White Witch from The Chronicles of Narnia books, or the Snow Queen from...well... The Snow Queen. But what do you guys think?
