I have an answer to this question.
The Christian Gospels mention Mary Magdalene a few times, with some confusion as to whether she and Mary of Bethany are the same person. Mary Magdalene is the only woman mentioned by name in all four gospels besides Mother Mary. She sinned more deeply, so she had more demons to eject. The number seven gives the clue.
Jesus healed Mary Magdalene of seven demons (Mark 16:9, Luke 8:2); Mary Magdalene came to the dinner at Simeon's house with an alabaster jar from which she anointed the head and feet of Jesus Christ (Mark 14:3-9, John 11:2, 12:3-8); and Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus Christ resurrected from the tomb (John 20, Mark 16:9, Matthew 28).

Saint Mary Magdalene was the first witness to the resurrection of Jesus. (See the 20th Chapter of the Gospel of John).
She was one of Jesus' followers during his ministry, and was present at the cross when he died.
There is some debate on whether she is the woman in Luke 7 who was a notorious sinner. Most biblical scholars believe that Mary Magdalene was not the notorious sinner.
The 8th chapter of the Gospel of Luke describes Mary Magdalene as being healed and supporting Jesus' ministry out of her means.
With love in Christ.

She was a follower of Jesus. He cast seven demons out of her, and she loved Him as many of his disciples did. She was a good and holy woman. The DaVinci Code is an attack on Christianity and the Catholic Church.

A prostitute that Jesus saved from condemnation from the priests.. They were going to stone her, but Jesus said "he who has never sinned, let him cast the first stone" and then people dropped their stones and left.. Jesus was a real witness to her by having mercy to her

She is Miriam, lover of Jesus. Interpret that any way you wish.
