When everyone refers to her as Black Swan are you simply giving her that nickname because of her last name or do you believe she will be based on the actual Black Swan Odile, as in the one from Swan Lake and the titular movie? The creators have said several times that Emma is not based on any fairytale character. She is an original character They say that, but she clearly is an allusion to The Ugly Duckling, if nothing else. I supose an allusion is not the same thing as directly being a character however.
