Here's my personal summary of what i think about the characters thus far:

Ruby: Ruby has a grim reapers resemblance and the supposed grave is actually an altar with the writing on it "Summer Rose, Thus Kindly I Spread" being a sort of prayer. Personally I believe her appearance as Red Riding Hood is in coordination with her weapon being a scythe, as one version of the said fairy tale was written in a collection of stories by a pair of brothers knowm as the Grimm Brothers (Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm)

Weiss Schnee: Weiss is a girl of royal blood. In the song "Red Like Roses" The line regarding Weiss is directly shown in "Mirror Mirror" starting with the words "White Is Cold..." from Ruby's theme being along the same line to the lyrics "Can A Heart Be Turned To Stone", "Why Won't You Let Me Hide From Me" from "Mirror Mirror" being what "Red Like Roses" means when it says "...And Always Yearning." Lastly, the scar she recieves from battling the Armor Giant could be the reference stated in the lyrics "Burdened By A Royal Test" the scar being the burden and the battle being the royal test. It seems that throughout the series Weiss will be dealing with the most personal issues. Furthermore there has been speculation that Weiss is based off of Snow White which can be further supported based off the story of Snow White(which-possibly by coincidence- is also one of the stories that the Grimm Brothers had written in their collection) originating in Germany and Weiss Schnee literally translate from german to english as "White Snow"
