Actually, I'd say this character is pretty decent. You've got the skills they need, it seems to me, and managed to fit the spirit-related powers in. I only have one real suggestion. There's a Talent in Power-Ups 3: Talents, called Occultist. It covers Alchemy, Anthropology, Archaeology, Exorcism, Hidden Lore, History, Linguistics, Literature, Occultism, Research, Ritual Magic, and Thaumatology. It costs 10 points/level, but it's adding to a lot of the skills she already has, and would add to several others she might want to pick up (Ritual Magic, notably!). I'd buy down the ST to 11, use the 10 points saved to buy a level in the Occultist Talent, reduce Research by 2 points (which will leave it at the same level as you have it now, after the Talent bonus), and spend 1 of those points on the Hand Cannon perk from Gun-Fu, which adds +1 to ST only for purposes of wielding guns.
