Studies have shown. aka my studies with all my gaming experience that girls enjoy and stick with support classes. I would think like Cleric/Dru/ ench would suit her better . But that is up to her!

As a girl gamer, we get pigeonholed into support a lot, or rather, girls as a whole. In live I played an Inkie warrior, was main tank for my guild, and rather enjoyed the leadership role the tank played, but it's true several girls seem to get stuck into support or roles of less importance.
It seems that a lot of girls get roped into support roles simply because their significant other wants them to play with them and is often a non support role to begin with, ie the guy is a warrior and wants a healer. The sad thing is when they can't break free of that and just don't have the confidence to break out of the stereotypical support role most people feel girls are "good at" or perhaps it would be better to say "doesn't suck at."
I would say don't coddle her, you are doing her a disservice. There's nothing I hate more than getting into a group with a "tee hee" girl whose only notable skill is that she has tits. Let her learn the game, help her to explore the things that interest her, but try not to feel as if you need to hover over her telling her exactly how to do each little thing, half the fun was learning right? It's like the old saying, give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll be making fishrolls in a week
