Yeah, Taiyang Xiao Long was on TVTropes. Qrow Branwen was here on the wiki.

The history of Taiyang's name is kinda funny.

Something to the nature of "Their father's name is Taiyang Xiao Long" showed up on TVTropes' WMG, and people were like "Lol that's such bullshit, really? It's basically the same thing as Yang Xiao Long."

Later on, Monty tweeted a photo of his computer screen, which showed folders with the names of RWBY characters. Taiyang Xiao Long was among those names. Fans: "Well then... I guess it really was legit?"

Later, we get the episode where Yang reads a letter from her and Ruby's father, and it's signed Taiyang.

Boom.

Branwen only has two parts to its story so far.

November 2013, the Qrow page here on the wiki was edited to say Qrow Branwen.

Late 2014, the credits of Breach reveal Raven Branwen's name.
