 * Jaune Arc = Joan of Arc, who dressed as a man in the French army.


 * Nora Valkyrie = Thor, who disguised himself as a goddess to steal back his hammer Mjolnir.


 * Pyrrha Nikos = Achilles, who disguised himself as a red-haired woman named Pyrrha, so he wouldn't have to join a war.


 * Lie Ren = Mulan, who disguised herself as a man to join the Chinese army.

Also, nothing really says that the team's theme has to do with what they're based on.

CRDL's theme is that they're each named after birds. They're not based on birds, obviously, considering Cardin is based on Henry Beaufort, the Cardinal of Winchester, who presided over Joan of Arc's trial.

CFVY's theme seems to be that they're each named after sweets (Hot cocoa, fox hunter's pie, red velvet cake, yatsuhashi).

As for Glynda's and Ironwood's team(s)... It's entirely possible that their teammates are out somewhere else, doing something else. Think about Taiyang's team.


 * Yang's mother cut ties with everyone and left.


 * Summer continued doing missions around the kingdom.


 * Taiyang and Qrow became teachers.

It seems that, after graduation, the team can split up and do their own things. They don't have to stick together. This can lead to them actually being physically separated from each other. Some may become teachers, some may do missions in and out of the kingdom, some could take up some other job that makes use of their skills and/or knowledge.

It would help if we knew if Ironwood is native to Atlas, or if he just moved there sometime after graduation. Then again, we have no idea if Ironwood is even a huntsman. All we really know is that he knows a lot about robots.
