Also, there are canon characters with double inspirations.:

- Yang is based of Goldilocks, but her hair being used to store her semblance up was said to come from Samson.

- Torchwick's looks are from the Clockwork Orange, and he alludes to Candlewick from Pinnochio.

- Qrow is believed to be part of the group of characters based of the "Wizard of Oz" (along Glynda, Ozpin and possibly Ironwood), him beign the Scarecrow.

But together with Raven they are believed to reference the Mabinogion story, their surname making him reference Brân the Blessed and Raven reference Branwen, Daughter of Llŷr. Also, together they have been associated to Huginn and Muninn from Norse Mythology.

- Ruby references the Red Riding Hood, but also can be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

- Nora references Thor, but she has also referenced in the series twice to the Queen of Hearts.

- Junior's name means "bear", which could be for the bear from Goldilocks, but since Melanie and Militia reference "Snow White and Rose Red" he could be the bear from that story, too.
