We already have a Nevermore based off of 'The Raven', And I don't think Monty uses the same fairy tale related words twice and such. While I disagree that Monty would avoid using the same fairy tale as a basis for characters and Grimm etc. (why not, since we already have multiple characters sharing at least one fairy tale?) I'll grant that using Qrow would be a rather dumb way to allude to Edgar Allen Poe since Raven is a far more appropriate term. I wonder if Qrow will end up being a second (third?) self-insert of Monty (his trademark is a crow). If anyone wants an example for why Mercen says we already have characters sharing a story...

Junior and Yang. Yang is Goldilocks, and Junior (whose name is Hei Xiong, literally Black Bear), is the baby bear of the Goldilocks story.

I suspect that he's Geppeto/Gepetto however you spell it, to Penny's Pinocchio.
