There is a pious fiction according to which Theodora, a beautiful Christian girl of Alexandria, was sentenced to a brothel during the persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian when she refused to sacrifice to the gods. She fell dead when she was rescued by Didymus; when Didymus' act was discovered, he was beheaded. Her feast day is April 28th.

I think you mean St. Rose of Lima. She was very pretty and people began to call her 'Rose' instead of her real name which was isabel because of it. She was very upset about this so she put pepper in her face and cut her hair in the hope that people wouldnt think she was beautiful...

Who is the female saint who refused to marry because she devoted her life to God? She was also very beautiful, and she disfigured her face. I don't think it's St. Lucy.
