Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that we wouldn't know Ren was Mulan at all; my brother and I had it figured out based on JNPR's theme. We knew it was a cross-dressing female warrior, and concluded based on his name and outfit that she must be Chinese, which pretty much narrowed it down to Mulan. But you make a good point.

Qrow seems to allude to the Scarecrow, and possibly some dude named Branwen I haven't googled yet. Raven apparently might be Bran, which I also haven't googled. Or maybe I have that backwards. Taiyang seems to be the Cowardly Lion. Aside from that, we don't really know; but we haven't really seen them much yet.
