Are new and newer RWBY characters still based on fairy tale characters or literary characters, or have the RWBY writers quit doing that? I ask because some newer characters don't seem to have any fairy tale/literary analogue, like Tyrion and Ilia. MAYBE Tyrion is based on the Scorpion King, or the scorpion crossing the river in the old fable, and Ilia could be the Frog Prince(ess)? I only say that because Ilia is a chameleon Faunus and frogs are (loosely) related to chameleons, and I can't think of any other stories that could fit, even though my wild guesses sound pretty dumb to me, lol...
