Posted this earlier and thought it relevent:

"I've been thinking that the common theme for inspiration for Team RWBY is that each is inspired by one of the Grimms' Fairy Tales. Both "Little Red Cap" and "Little Snow White" from their compilation of Germanic fairy tales. Haven't found anything too solid for Blake, but "The Thief and His Master" could be promising. The same with Yellow, with "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin", and "Mary's Child" being possibles."

@PuffDragon: True, but it's confirmed that they it's unrelated to the other two. On an interesting note, "Snow White and Rose Red" is in the second volume of te Grimms' work, while "Little Red Cap" and "Little Snow White" are in the first.
