We hear of Red Scharron in a bar during Eric, where the adventuresses Herrena the Henna-Haired Harridan, Red Scharron and Diome, Witch of the Night, were meeting for some girl talk and a game of canasta.
She is clearly a parody of Red Sonja - a badly-spelt version of a normal name associated with a crimson colour. Red Sonja herself was a swords and sorcery-type adventuress written by Robert Howard and played on-screen by the very much larger-than-life Brigitte Nielsen opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger as Kalidor.
Henna-Haired also means red-headed, so is Herrena herself just another parody?
