That Megan girl suggested something interesting: Cinder's boss being based off the Fairy Godmother. Certainly fits, but I am not sure if I am big on the idea. Perhaps it is just the jarring contrast between what I think of the Big Bad and my image of the Fairy Godmother from the Disney film about the story. However, it may just be that I don't think it does the Big Bad justice to base her off that kind of character. Given the position of the Black Dragon continent where I tend to think of the Big Bad being present, I like to imagine that her character is inspired by the Wicked Witch of the West as that makes her a more suitable foil to Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood. Just imagine the Fairy Godmother but taking into account that in the live action remake Disney had her played by Bellatrix.

Imagine Bellatrix as a Fairy Godmother and I think the image is fixed. Another thing to take into consideration, the "Fair Folk" have longer been notorious tricksters often portrayed as foils to heroes.
