I think she’s meant to be LCF herself (who says the Devil has to be male)? She guides Corso through all nine gates because he is her Chosen One, not the arrogant Boris Balkan.
Shortly after Corso first contempates the signature "LCF", he meets the girl in the corridor and asks her name. Answer: "GUESS!" When Balkan is rambling about how "the Master" will never appear to the Satanist coven because they are just buffoons, the camera cuts to the Girl who is watching from the balcony. Her smile seems ironic. So maybe the Master has indeed appeared, just in a form neither Balkan nor the others could recognize. According to the script, the Girl would at one point be seen reading a book called "The Devil in Love", which is interesting given her seeming affections for Corso, but Polanski apparently decided that this was too in-your-face and instead gave her the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
They all have the same book but you can’t tell which one is the original. A theme that is repeated over and over and why you are doing sequels. Why use old code for something new? It’s Pierre’s concept of Me-too, knowing the girls would fight.
An added character that never existed in the book as it was written, because the girl in the book was not a witch or an angel, or a demonic character in the end, and whom got the part because it was the director's wife...
I wonder if this has an association with the ninth circle. Possibly a disclosure remember, they have to show signs.

Yes. She is Lucifer, Satan.
I don't think she's the Harlot but a NPC in a game that gets started by his journey through the 9 gates.
Very interesting!

Emanuelle definitely got that role being married to Roman
In the book the girl is the Devil himself. Or a hallucination created by the Devil. So Corso opens the nine gates of Hell.
She stole the movie.
