It sounds like you really want more of an RPG co-op experience on the PC, especially since Fate is an action RPG. I suggest to look up the Wiki list of co-op games. Maybe a girl would be interested in Titan Quest. I'm not sure if she'd care for Neverwinter Nights or Baldur's Gate but those are solid kid-friendly RPG series with co-op play. Many girls really seem to like the Final Fantasy series of RPGs but they lack co-op with a few exceptions like Final Fantasy IX for PSX.
The real story-driven adventure game genre slowed to a crawl more than a decade ago around the release of critically acclaimed Grim Fandango, which bombed commercially. Many of the adventure games released since are remakes or some attempt at episodic content.
If you're looking for good stories, then the Longest Journey and Syberia are fun PC adventure games with strong female protagonists that might appeal more to a 10 year old girl.
While I was growing up, I knew some girls who enjoyed the classic Monkey Island series of adventure games. Another classic is Tim Schafer's Grim Fandango for originality in art design and storytelling, plus a great soundtrack that supposedly sells on eBay for more than $100.
