Honestly, if being "taken seriously" is her goal, why doesn't she just go for an immersion lifestyle? Nobody knows you're Barbie in the matrix (unless you pick that as your avatar, which probably a lot of folks do).
This. Something good can come of this. Consider this:

She basically wants a tragedy - an ex-stripper/hooker with a body that absolutely CANNOT be taken seriously or seen as anything but a sex-object, trying desperately to get people to deal with her as a human being.
She wants to add Day Job (still stripping/doing escort, because at least she knows what to expect and doesn't have to expect anything more) and Bi-polar (up when "performing", down when having to go out in public and deal with people *staring* at her) to her Negative Qualities.
Zonga, you should consider giving your dryad player College Education/Technical school educations - or letting her work for it in-game.(instruction tests/karma for the quality)
because.... people don't care what you look like on the matrix, and thats a plus for this character. There are almost -certainly- online classes and college degrees available in the sixth world. Running jobs on the side to pay for schooling is a classic way to start in the shadows, and get involved with problems trying to make more. In fact, I'd bet there are universities(or even shadow-schools) who, like docwagon, don't care where the money comes from - only that they get it.
Also, "Hey. I have a degree in that. Let me try" is a very good way to force the issue of "I know useful things! Take me seriously, and stop staring!" for her teammates to deal with.
Just some thoughts. That first session sounded hilarious.
