     One recommendation: DON'T. Whatever you do, if
she doesn't show any interest in your hobby, don't try
to force it on her. I've seen REALLY bad results from
this . . . we're talking Gamer Girlfriends from HELL.
(Heck, the last one ended up destroying a long running
Warhammer Quest game because the players didn't want
her around, but couldn't exclude her without losing
him as well.)
     Now, if she one day shows interest, then walk her
through character creation and run a one on one
session with her before talking with your regular
group about admitting her.
