Salem undoubtedly reflects the wicked witch the most. But keep in mind it is possible for characters to have certain two-fold aspects in connection to another character's basis of fairy tale.

So yes, she is undoubtedly in reference to the Wicked Witch of the West by connections and name, but for Cinder's character she also acts as her "Fairy God Mother" by granting her strength.
