Ficha ......Ella es una fichita. (She's quite a wh...)

OR

Ella está fichada. - something like - She's a marked (by police) woman.

Not a good word to be........

I guess the origin is from years ago when women in bars and dance halls would have chips or tokens ... I don't quite know if they were paid depending on the tokens they "earned" in the course of the night or what.. anyone know?
