Eh, all of those things could easily hint to strong platonic feelings, such as "We used to be best friends, and I'm not used to being enemies. I still care about my ex-friend and don't feel comfortable attacking her." Nothing they did hinted very clearly in the direction of romantic feelings, but to be fair, they kinda just threw her into the mix when they were ready for her part in the plot.

If she had had more screentime before that, for example in flashbacks, they would have been able to show us actual hints about her feelings.

As for her last name, most people assumed her last name meant Rainbow because she's a chameleon Faunus who changes colors.
