My opinion: Cyrus and Will are allusions, but Ana and Alice are not. Alice isn't close to being Jasmine besides age. Ana is more alluded to being Cinderella's step sister than to Jasmine. Ana is a bit of a stretch to be Jasmine, because she sort of did the reverse of what Jasmine did. Yes, thank you for highlighting. Here's my take: Alice and Ana are both similar to Jasmine in that they love Cyrus and Will (who most everyone agrees are allusions to Aladdin) and that they have conflicts with Jafar. Other things that are similar include Alice having conflicts with her father, despite loving him; and Ana living a life of wealth and power, yet loving someone of a lower social status. To me those things are enough (especially with the way Once works) to say they are alluding to Jasmine. Obviously, that does not mean that I don't think Alice is still Alice, and the Red Queen is still the Red Queen and an Ugly Stepsister, because I see clear things to those as well (like Cyrus is also the Genie and Will is also Will Scarlet and the Knave of Hearts, besides both alluding to Aladdin). I also believe that characters actually named Aladdin and Jasmine will show up on the main show at some point, but that's a discussion for another day.
