We've been told that they can stand in as a character for someone else's allusion.

Qrow, who alludes to Scarecrow, stands in as Munin for Raven's Hugin allusion.

Ozpin, who alludes to the Wizard of Oz, stands in as Odin for Raven's Hugin allusion.

I forgot about Salem's flying Beringels and how she could be the Wicked Witch of the West. It would follow the theme of Ozpin and those closely connected with him having Wizard of Oz allusions:


 * Ozpin = Oz


 * Qrow = Scarecrow


 * Glynda = Glinda the Good Witch


 * Ironwood = Tin Man


 * Lionheart = Cowardly Lion


 * Oscar = Dorothy? (Lived on a farm with his aunt, was spoken to "through" a mirror by Ozma)

But then the question is who Headmaster Theodore alludes to. In some versions, the Wicked Witch of the West is named Theodora, and thanks to Penny, we know that characters don't have to be the same sex as the character they allude to.
