So, I've been operating under the assumption that Ironwood completes the four-man band for Oz characters. Read as: no one else from Oz will be showing up in all of Remnant. But it has struck me as odd that two of these characters are companions of Dorothy (if Qrow is an allusion to Scarecrow and Ironwood is an allusion to the Tin Woodsman). The other two are technically minor characters despite the whole point of the story being to reach the Wizard (Ozpin) and Dorothy being scooted on her way by Glynda. I think there will be three or four more characters from Oz. Obviously, Dorothy and the Lion have to make an appearance, the latter of which I believe will be a Faunus. Dorothy could be called Dot or Dotty or may even end up a genderbend like Team JNPR, Penny, and Emerald (whom may be an allusion to Aladdin). I predict her/his name may end up being either Dart or Dorian (perhaps even Dorian Gray). I also think the real Wicked Witch will appear, not as an antagonist but as a former member of team Ozpin (Ozpin, Glynda, Witch, and... flying monkey? Toto? Locasta? Boq? Hungry Tiger? Mombi? Santa Claus? Tik-Tok? Nessarose?)

Over all, this would make Ozpin's team the JNPR as they would be comprised of characters that didn't make much of an appearance in the original story, while the RWBY would be Dorothy's team of her, Qrow, Ironwood, and the Lion. Obviously, this doesn't answer the question of how Summer Rose is connected to the group or why Cinder Fall is so... seemingly vindictive.
