Have her play an Enchantet if that's the class she finds attractive. Levelling in eq is so slow you don't want her playing a class she doesn't find interesting just to get her feet wet. Playing another class--especially a mellee--will not help her when she wants to switch to a chanter. At lower levels she can just buff anyway until she gets good at charming and crowd control.
Print out a copy of Xornns enchanting guide which is available on the wiki and have her read it. That guide is solid gold and if after reading it she thinks Ench sounds fun she should do that. The guide will give her the advice to gain the skills to cc and charm effectively, especially how to line up her spells.

Back on live, my girlfriend wanted to play a wizard and I convinced her to play a monk instead. One morning I woke up and she was in tears because she was trying to pull something hard and her group was giving her a bunch of shit. She never played again. Huge mistake on my part.
I'd let her play the enchanter. Don't make a big deal out of it if either of you die. If you have to CR both of you, do it. Have fun with her when she wants to play--don't expect her to min/max like a vet. If she wants to put up a shitty pet and cast nukes and fear, so be it. That's my take. | ||

I personally agree with Shiftin. Tell her that Shaman are the priest equivalent of enchanters, but they are vastly more forgiving and team better with more classes.
I'm surprised no one is laughing at you yet for complaining that your GF wants to play an enchanter (awesome class) while you want to play a ranger (horrible class). | ||

Enchanters pair amazingly with rangers. Its a fear kite heaven. At early levels, put up animation, have her get hit, then ranger tank. Once you have snare and she has fear, any outdoor zone is your playground.
It'll also be easy for her to ENC in those instances: Ranger pull, enc get hit once, pet aggros, snare, fear, kill. Rinse/repeat. You have heals, she has haste/slow/fear/clarity. And you can slowly introduce her into more involved enchanting. Get the fear kiting down (its easy), then work on getting her to charm a pet for fear kiting (which you can't do reliably until like L29 anyways). Get her to split outdoor camps like iksar bandit camps with lull + mez. Teach her new skills as she picks them up, at her pace. If she's not picking it up, go back to simple fear kiting for the night. tl;dr: RNG+ENC literally needs 1 spell from the ENC all night long - fear. Everything else is just gravy.

For a first character in EQ I would suggest a caster dps or melee dps. Tanks and healers require a certain level of attention to be affective. I'm not saying she couldn't pick one up and be great at it, but for most first timers I always suggest DPS classes. If they slack it doesn't wipe the group nearly as often as a Cleric who is too enamored by another classes pet and forgets to heal the tank lol
Necromancers make good first characters, so would a wizard, or monk, rogue, all kinds of good classes for beginners. If she has played more than one MMO and this isn't her first I wouldn't worry about it too much, just tell her what the classes do and what they get and turn her loose. | ||
