Saint Priscilla was a Jewish tent-maker who entertained Saint Paul in Corinth and Ephesus. While she lived in Rome, her house was used as a church. She was the wife of Saint Aquila. With all that said, what was her feast day and were there any other pronunciations or spellings of her name? Also, where can you find her in the Bible?

8th July is her feast day, her name is also pronounced Prisca and she appears in Acts, II Timothy, Romans and Corinthians but always together with her husband Aquila.

She and her husband are, according to Wiki, the earliest known teachers of Christian theology after Paul (not counting Christ) and much is made of the fact that frequently in the Bible, Prisca is mentioned before her husband.

Are you putting together a calendar of saints, princess?
There is an interesting (and very old) church in Rome dedicated to this saint under the name Prisca (though it is not clear that Prisca and Priscilla were the same person) and said to have been built on the site of Priscilla's original house church. Beneath it, there is a Mithraeum, uncovered in the 1950's (and usually closed).
