From the Old Testament, also known as Debbora. She is mentioned as a prophetess and Israelite judge in the Book of Judges 4:4-14. She is referred to in 212-Margarita as being the saint "of defeat and depression" because she prophesised that the Isrealites would not achieve victory over the Canaanite general Sisera.

Patron saints of depression include St. Dymphna, St. Hermes, and St. Christina the Astonishing.
