Well, there is the fact that Salem's followers appear to have an allusion theme just like Teams RWBY and JNPR, with the theme being X character without a character who is important to them.

We were told in an episode of RWBY Rewind that Hazel is Hansel if he lost Gretel.

Lindsay accidentally showed us on Twitter that the Official Companion says that Watts alludes to Watson if he "connected with Moriarty" instead of Sherlock Holmes.

We just need to find out who Cinder is missing. Perhaps Cinder is a Cinderella who ended up following her wicked "step-mother". We know that characters can stand in for someone in another character's allusion, as Qrow alludes to Scarecrow but stands in as Munin to Raven's Hugin. Ozpin alludes to the Wizard of Oz but stands in as Odin to Raven's Hugin, as well.

Or she could just be Cinderella whose Fairy Godmother never came, and she finally cracked and had to find a way to get out of the abuse herself.
