I mean, there's always the possibility for it to be related to Toto, even if Dorothy would probably be the best choice for what we have going already. I also do like the idea of having a female Headmistress too, since having all 4 Headmasters be men seems a little bit much in a show that tries to stress the problems with a lack of diversity (and falls flat usually). I don't think having both at the same time would necessarily be good, since if both were the case and the Headmistress was a bit of a hard-case, then you could make the joke about her being a bitch, and it just wouldn't sit well in people's minds.

We can make a pretty good assumption that if you can survive Vacuo, you're welcome to be there, so a Faunus leader or a woman would be possible, and would make the scales balanced between man and Faunus, two on two, and slightly less imbalanced gender-wise. Leo, (our other Faunus) was on the villain's side out of fear, and so it'd be nice to see his polar opposite in the way that the other Headmaster/mistress would take charge and hit Salem's forces hard providing they can be convinced to enter the war and turn the tides.

As it was the combined efforts of Vale and Vacuo which drove back Mantle and Mistral in the Great War, (and in this case Vale would be our heroes and Vacuo their allies), they could do some neat tie-ins for it. Considering Qrow can't really describe Vacuo, (pertaining them to be Vacuo, i.e they do their own thing)nand knowing that they tried to stay out of the Great War as long as they could until they felt threatened enough to join, it might be a hard sale to get Vacuo to enter the war against Salem, but if they do victory is almost certain.

As for other potential allusions that are untaken, there's not really much, given that the rest are very minor characters. Flying monkeys, Munchkins, and then Toto since he doesn't do too much except follow Dorothy around. And I seriously doubt we're getting a winged monkey or a Munchkin.
