Risk of Rain 2? If I recall right, most characters are female or ambiguous. Noita is another flawless gem.
Are games where gender isn't explicitly defined okay?

Old but gold, the Longest Journey, since you seem to want something story centered.
We love Knights on Bikes for our girls to play.
Sayonara Wildhearts. I bet she could play it herself
- Breath of the Wild with the Linkle mod
- Final Fantasy 13
- Maybe Genshin Impact
- Life is Strange
- Little Witch in the Woods
Someone else posted a Wind Waker mod. Can't believe there's one for BOTW too. How awesome

Ōkami.
Well, she's a wolf, but she's the Sun Goddess too.
Oh! For a solid coop experience check out any of the little big planets. Lots of cute costumes for character customization.
For a gender neutral character I can recommend Toem! It’s incredibly cute and charming.

Celeste. It's tough as nails, but it's so rewarding and the story is.....gah!
I think Tchia may be just what you're looking for!
Giana Sisters as female C64 clone of Mario Bros.
There's that Disney dream light game or something like that, definitely seems child friendly.
Very child friendly and lots of fun, at least last I played, and I can’t imagine Disney of all people really changing that to much.
Excellent suggestion. It's basically Animal Crossing with Disney characters.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
It's very wholesome and relaxing. She can probably play this herself.

The Longest Journey / Dreamfall / Dreamfall Chapters. Absolutely magical games.
Ms. Pac-Man, but of course!
There's always Animal Crossing and its many sequels... you're not obligated to play as a female, but it's at least an option. Metroid has a female lead, but those games are probably a little beyond your daughter's grasp at the moment.

Contrast on Xbox market was awesome. Really fun platformer that has an amazing soundtrack too
Hey!
It's not coop, but I recently played "The Big Con" (with Gamepass) and it's more of a fun ride with an easy control scheme and decent puzzles. While the FeMC isn't the classic "strong female lead", she is a teenager growing up and develops throughout the game and it's story.
I found it very funny (your daughter might not get every joke, tough), depicts some good topics (trust, family and responsibility) in a very lighthearted way with a cute art style. :)
