The question is, if the partial inspiration is just for aesthetics or if it goes into the actual design of the character. I mean, Roman looks and acts pretty much like the guy from Clockwork Orange, but one can argue that he also alludes to another character from Pinochio. Meanwhile, Nora's "allusions" to the Queen of Hearts seem to be only regarding her visual design, and not the character herself. I mean, other than her clothing choice and a few hearts here and there, she has no real reference or allusion to the Queen.

I really doubt Pyrrha is meant to allude or was inspired by anyone other than Achilles himself. She is meant to be The Ace, and is considered practically invincible, and so was Achilles. Her name, "Pyrrha", is the name Achilles used while pretending to be a woman to avoid going to war and dying. And Nikos means victory, which is the only thing you expect from an invincible Ace.

She's pretty much 100% Achilles, and not really anything else.
