I can get on board with that. The question is, who would she be? Did she know Johnny before the event that put him in a coma? If so, what was their relation? To be in layer 3 she would have to originate from layer 3, but which layer does she first contact Johnny in? And how does she tie into the plot?
We could probably make her a programmer from layer 3. Hell, they don't all have to be programmers. She could be an artist, or handle sound effects, or work with the machines that plug you in. If she's a key character I'd like to have her developed as much as possible.
I'm thinking that, possibly, if no one minds me making up some history, this could have happened: Early after Kevin found Johnny, he wasn't sure who Johnny was, but wanted to keep an eye on him. Back then, the virtual reality was a bit more dangerous. The focus was on realism, which meant that crime, accidents, danger, were all very much possible. Kevin was worried that something could happen, so he'd plug into the game and try to keep Johnny out of trouble. One night he'd had enough, and went to see the lead programmer to make the world safer, but he needed someone to watch Johnny. He asked one of his colleagues and she eventually accepted, but only because Kevin said this Johnny was similar to their Johnny (at this point they don't know that Johnny was hooked up to the game). While watching Johnny through the monitors, she eventually got curious and plugged in to meet him in person. The two of them got along really well, but she knew that she shouldn't get too attached, after all, he's just a virtual construct. Still, every now and then she'd try and visit him.
During the course of the game they can get closer, but this is how we're introduced to them. They're acquaintances who see each other every now and again and get along well. She may also have a L1 character.
