* Adam Taurus is based on allusions found in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''. He is supposed to be initially seen as the Beast to Blake's Beauty. As the show digs a little deeper into him, he's supposed to raise the question of whether he might be Gaston instead of the Beast. His weapon, Wilt & Blush, references the cursed rose. Adam is also apparently the real name of the Beast in [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Disney's version]].

Amity Arena offers more context in his bio, describing him as a version of the Beast who wasn't redeemed by his love for Beauty and is forever cursed to remain a beast. His weapon, Wilt & Blush, references the cursed rose. Adam is also apparently the real name of the Beast in [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Disney's version]].

* Blake Belladonna's inspiration comes from Belle in Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast. Her surname means "beautiful woman" and Blake shares a love of reading with Belle. Both characters are associated with a "beast" (Adam, in Blake's case, which is also the real name of Disney's version of the Beast). Blake is also a "beast" in her own right, being a cat-Faunus who initially starts following Adam down the wrong path when the White Fang turns from peaceful equal rights protesting to violence and terrorism. Her process of moving away from that path involves her learning to become a noble Huntress and to overcome her moody isolation and mistrust of others and her instinct for running away from her problems.

* Weiss Schnee is inspired by ''Literature/SnowWhite''. The translation of her name from German to English is "White Snow", and the song she sings in the introductory "White" trailer heavily alludes to the Magic Mirror in the original fairytale. She is the heiress to the wealthy Schnee Dust Company, akin to being a princess, and has an abusive father, similar to Snow White's stepmother, who tried to kill her. In Volume 2, she is seen eating an apple.
