I mean, mayyyybe there was some inspiration taken from the queen of hearts, when it comes to design, and possibly even personality, but there's... A lot wrong with what you just said. I'll tackle it piece by piece.

"i know jnper members are suppose to be based on gender swap characters but it think nora is an exception"

Monty Oum  explicitly  said that ALL members of JNPR were based on characters that disguised themselves as the opposite gender. If there were an exception, he would have said so.

"she always says she is queen of the castle and how in the foodfight she yelled off with there heads"

Ruby once said "I am not a crook", it doesn't mean her character is inspired by Richard Nixon. The things the characters do and say aren't necesarily indicative of who they're based on. Yes, Nora said "Off with their heads" during the food fight scene, but Ruby posed like Phoenix Wright, and shouted something along the lines of "Justice will be swift, painful, and delicious!!". It was a moment when they were acting like people other than themselves. What sense does it make to present it as an idication that a character is based off of the queen of hearts, in a scene where they were acting out of character?

 "her hammer shoots heart things and has a heart on her shirt" 

Velvet and Yang have hearts as emblems, does that mean they're the queen of hearts too? Of course not. Sure, emblems can be indicative of a character's inspiration, personality, or even their name, but while Nora has a heart shaped hole in her clothing, that isn't her emblem. ''her emblem is a hammer with lightning going through it (Mjolnir). It's even bigger than the heart.''

"it seems like there is more proof for her to be queen of hearts then being thor"

There is NO proof of her being the queen of hearts. You presented weak speculation that you think is firm evidence, and you're calling it proof, but it's not proof. I'll humor you though, lets count the points you made toward your queen theory:

1. Her lines about being a "queen", and saying "off with their heads "

2. the heart themed gear and the heart themed ammunition.

Now lets count how many points there are toward the Thor theory:

1. Her hammer/lightning emblem, and use of a hammer as a weapon

2. Monty confirming that all  of the characters that inspired the members of team JNPR had disguised themselves as the opposite gender, a description that fits Thor

3. Her last and the name of her weapon are both norse in origin, and Thor is a norse god.

So, without even counting the points against the queen theory, that's queen-2, thor-3.

I rest my case.
