 * Hairbrained Idea Alert*

What if, instead of being the titular girls from their various fairytales, the RWBY crew are actually representations of other characters from the stories? This is mostly stemming from the "Black the Beast" line, but there are other reasons to think it's possible.

Weiss is burdened by a "royal test". The easy assumption is that she is Snow White in conflict with the queen, but what if she is in fact the Huntsman, burdened by the task of taking Snow White's heart? Heck, maybe she's a more sympathetic interpretation of the queen trying to reclaim/unthaw her icy heart?

So in this case:

Ruby/Red = Grandmother or Wolf

Weiss/White = Huntsman

Black (assuming Beauty and the Beast) = Beast

Yellow = [insert idea from whatever fairlytale she's really from]

Yes this is stupid, and yes there's plenty of contradictory evidence (like the utter lack of evidence for Ruby fitting this mold), but it's something to think about.
