      Her leafs are beginning to look as though they are sunburned but falling apart like she is over watered

    What's the lighting like? Do you have a picture?

      This is a new plant for me and I fear it may be a bit too finicky, because it started doing this as soon as it was repotted

    It's in a west facing window, unfortunately I do not have a picture and I am not home to take one. Are you able to trim Sword plants down for new growth like fishbone prayer plants?

    Sounds like it went into transplant shock if it happened right after you repotted. That's extremely common and you generally just gotta wait it out. You can trim off the yellowing leaves.

    No they don't but I did read that they are subject to root rot so they have to dry out completely before watering again
