I once heard that the members of Team JNPR are baesd off of characters that cross dressed in their stories. We know that Jaune is based off of Joan d'Arc,  who saved France from English invasion in the 100 years war (and I will go on record and say is one of my favorite historical figures), Lie Ren is based on the Ballad of Mulan, and Pyrrha who I think may be based on any number of characters from Greek myth. Nora on the other hand, has no clear refrence.

I think I've solved this one, in Norse mythology, Thor's hammer is stolen by a troll/giant (depending on the version you read or hear) and wants Freyja as his bride (as is with almost all Norse mythological villians). Thor dresses up as Freyja and gets his hammer back. This to me not only fits Nora's symbol, weapon, and gleefulness in battle, but would explain the fact that she could down all that syrup (in another myth, Thor nearly drinks the sea dry, hence the tides).
