'White is...burdened by a royal test' <= I think the burdened by a royal test part is kind of like how Snow White constantly gets poisoned by the queen. Another interpretation I thought about was the Little Mermaid, coming from 'always yearning'? and 'burdened by a royal test', but Snow White seems to be a bit more prominent.

'Black the beast descends from shadows' <= This may refer to how Belle in Beauty and the Beast is from the Beast's household, therefore descending from shadows. Another thought of mine would be Alice Liddell from Alice in Wonderland because of the descending of shadows part and beast can refer to multiple things in Wonderland, but again, Belle would be the first thought that would come to mind.

Not really sure about Yellow,? since the meaning is a bit vague and only has four words to begin with, but it? could be the Miller's daughter from Rumpelstiltskin, from how she needs to make the thread into gold. However, there are more fairy tales than Rumpelstiltskin that have to do with 'Yellow' and 'gold'.

As for Red, it's quite obvious that Ruby is based off of Little Red Riding Hood.

Those are just my interpretations.
