Duo Recs with a Newbie

[fauxreigner]

My girlfriend and I recently got an IP exemption and now I'm showing her how to play the game. I'm trying to come up with a race/class for her to play so that I can start a character to duo with her.

She's totally new to the game and 3D games in general, so I'd like to avoid anything that might be difficult for her (mostly Bard and Enchanter). She also wants her character to be "pretty," which by her judgment eliminates Ogres, Trolls, Iksar(s?), Gnomes, and Dwarfs.

I've been trying to figure out her play style to find a class she would enjoy that would fit these restrictions. So far, it sounds like she doesn't want to be strictly a healer or purely offensive. It seems like Necromancer, Druid, Shaman, and Magician might be good choices, but I'd like to field some others' opinions.

I'm open to playing whatever class complements hers nicely (exception: Bard). I'm mostly interested in finding a good race/class for her and then coming up with a duo.

It would be nice for the duo to be self-sufficient, although we're not averse to pickup groups. I would like for us to be able to go to some dungeons and do some crawls, although I'm not sure that a duo would be capable of that without additional players.

So - what are some good duos that will fit her criteria and still work together well?
