1. Monty said they had around 10 years worth of story planned. That has probably been elevated to 11, since their Volume 2 plans overflowed into Volume 3.

2. All of the significant characters are based on classic stories, not just fairy tales. There are


 * Fairy tales - Team RWBY, and more.


 * Classic novels - Ozpin, Glynda, Ironwood (The Wizard of Oz - Oz, Glenda, Tin Man), Sun Wukong (Journey to the West), and more.


 * Children's books - Bartholomew Oobleck (Bartholomew and the Oobleck, by Dr. Seuss) and Velvet (The Velveteen Rabbit), and probably more.


 * Mythology - Neptune (Neptune, the Roman equivalent of Poseidon), Mercury (Mercury, the Roman equivalent of Hermes), and more.


 * Real life historical events - Jaune (Joan of Arc), Ren (Mulan), and probably more.
