I'd consider The Wizard of Oz to be more of a novel than a fairy tale, personally. All the significant characters in RWBY are based on classic tales, rather than just fairy tales. There are


 * Classic novels (The Wizard of Oz, Journey to the West)


 * Classic children's books (Bartholomew and the Oobleck, The Velveteen Rabbit)


 * Mythology (Neptune, Mercury)


 * Actual events (Joan of Arc)
