Scarlet alludes to Peter Pan, specifically from the sequel novel Peter Pan in Scarlet, and his appearance is based on the appearance that G-Dragon had in Big Bang's music video for Fantastic Baby.

So, the characters can definitely have their appearances be based on something else, but we don't know if the character allusion itself can be more than one thing. I fail to see the distinction. Take Yang for example... her name, backstory, and personality all have absolutely nothing to do with the character, but she's got long blonde hair and Word of God says that the character alludes to Goldilocks.

Weiss Schnee's name translates to "white snow," clearly a reference to Snow White (even if WoG didn't confirm), but her personality and backstory have nothing in common with the character.

Sun Wukong matches his allusion in name, appearance, weapon, semblance, and arguably personality.

Neptune has the name and weapon of his allusion, but he's ironically afraid of water, and as you said his appearance is directly based on TOP.

Lei Ren, as we all know, alludes to Mulan. But his name doesn't suggest this... His weapons don't suggest this... His appearance doesn't suggest this... there's an obvious Chinese quality about him, but that doesn't really narrow it down to Mulan. WoG is the only thing we have to go on here.

Each character draws bits and pieces from their inspiration where ever it fits, and some draw inspiration from more than one source. And some of them are completely original charcters.
