Raven and Qrow's allusion to Hugin and Munin lead to them being written as people who were given the power to turn into ravens so they could gather info.

Something I've been thinking for a while, though, is that what if Raven is the one who alludes to the Scarecrow?

Main reason being, the Scarecrow "lacked a brain", and while Qrow can be said to fit that by "being a drunk", Raven can also be said to fit that as well, particularly after Yang pointed out just how short-sighted her plan to take the Relic was.

They both have Crows/Ravens as a design/motif, so Raven also has that part covered to. If anything, Raven beats Qrow in this regard by using her Bird form muuuuch more, plus having these huge bird-like eyes that just look creepy. Yeah, but when the Wizard left Emerald City, the Scarecrow took up his position and stayed in Emerald City, much like how when Ozpin died, Qrow found his cane and temporarily became leader in Oz's stead. At least until Oscar showed up being guided by Ozpin.

That in turn is why I feel Oscar is more Ozma then Dorothy. Ozma was the rightful ruler of Oz and eventually regained said title, with the Wizard serving as her Counselor. Oscar now has to take up the reigns in Ozpin's stead, with Ozpin in his head guiding him until they eventually merge. Yes, Oscar does have some similarity to Dorothy like the "Dreaming of Bigger Things" or the looking into the mirror and talking with Ozpin like how Dorothy talked with Ozma in the mirror, but couldn't that just as easily be another case of someone acting like a character for anothers allusion?
