What kind of game/story is she looking for?  Number 1 should drive your content and complexity.  Number 2 should drive your setup and story.  If she wants to play as a Pokemon trainer, that's easy enough to do, and plenty of reference material is available.  As an idea, let her create her own pokemon, and then you can stat them out.  If she's looking for more of a 'magical girl' story, there are plenty of options there.  Sailor Moon is a popular variant mixture of the 'magical girl' concept mixed with the Sentai show (i.e. Power Rangers).    If the game is just going to be her alone, then you could try going for something more akin to <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/reviews/display.php?id=463" target="_blank">Snow Fairy Sugar</a>, with her being or having a magical friend.  More traditional 'magical girl' shows usually have the main character as a young girl who can transform into essentially a 'fairy superhero', usually with a magic wand or the like, who doesn't really fight, but often uses her powers to help her friends out, like changing shape or granting wishes, and so forth.  If you want to go for a different feel, an older daughter might like <a href="http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?propertycode=AGL&categorycode=BMG&page=mangapreview" target="_blank">Angelic Layer</a>, where a girl joins a what is essentially a fighting league for dolls.  Essentially, the girl chooses her doll, then customizes it based on her personality, and then bonds and trains with it...it's a little bit Pokemon, a little bit Barbie and pretty good.  Another choice might be to do something like <a href="http://www.advfilms.com/favorites/princessnine/" target="_blank">Princess Nine</a>, one of my daughters favorite anime, in which an ambitious principal at a girl's school gathers a baseball team of girls to attempt to win the pennant against the boy's teams in Japan's most prestigious school tournament (think high school world series).  The main character's father was once a great pitcher, and she's inherited his devastating fastball...but learns about teamwork, friendship and family.  If you're more concerned with the tropes of the genre, you need to be more specific about the subgenre of anime.  While there are some conventions that apply broadly, many do not, and many are purely visual sight-gags that won't apply.  Still others won't mean much unless you already understand them, and some won't be appropriate.  Explaining that male virgin gets a nosebleed when he thinks lascivious thoughts is a classic example of those. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
