Could also replace Russet with Auburn, if you wish, but whatever. Since russet sounds close to rust, I thought it would go well with the bloody imagery (a sword rusts if you don't clean the blood off of it). It just seems...off that way, heh. Though...Sword Menace Russet Fire (that kanji says fire, not flame...though they may seem like they would mean the same thing, it's not necessarily the case) does kind of make sense when I think about it a bit more.

"Sword Menace" being the fact that she's got the blessing of the (Demi)God of Swords...and "Russet Fire" being allegory for her Blood Lord abilities and/or her blessing of the (Demi)God of Blood.

However, russet is actually brown (with a reddish tinge) usually...so...I dunno. Rusty Fire may be better in such a case. Dried blood can have that sort of color, after all...especially since it's got iron in it and all that jazz, heh.

It may be best to try and ask the author, I guess, heh.
