Bullfighter's girl? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veronica

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'bullfighter's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'girl?' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for veronica that I've seen before include "Girl" , "There's a strange vain core to this plant?" , "Saint who wiped Christ's face on the Via Dolorosa" , "Plant of the foxglove family in a cover, oddly" , "Plant with spikes of blue or purple" .)
