I'll just have to explain to her the circumstances surroudning the char whe nwe make it. Because my biggest concern right now is giving her too much advantage in comparison to the other players. I don't want her to overshadow them because I try to avoid hitting her during encounters and such...
I guess I should just roll with it and see what happens as I try to be fair...

Thanks a lot for the answers! My outlook at this idea was very negative because I have been influenced by my other friends who...are really sticking to the rules when they can and dont use a lot of loophiles and such x)
Now I see that I can make this work...

Hi, I've been a GM in Pathfinder for about a year now, with a few campaigns on my trackrecord and it has been going well so far.
But now I have gotten a new circle of players as my old ones have grown a little tired of Pathfinder.
And my new players(we have not started yet, I'm building things and they are prepping chars) are excited as they have had one GM before in a D&D campaign that did not go well. That GM was too hardass on the rules and didn't let the players do anything they wanted. He orchestrated the whole thing.
Which gets really boring of course.

But now, everything is going smoothly except for this one thing. There is one players idea which is kinda hard to digest or to even make possible. She is the girlfriend of one of the other players who is a really good friend too, and she has expressed that she doesn't even wanna play if she doesn't get to do this.

Her idea is this; that she wants to play a goat. With a dwarven puppet on its back which is the goats cover. I've managed to talk her into a live dwarf as that is kinda easier because puppets I've got no experience with. The problem is, she doesn't wanna be a "specially engineered" goat that can talk. She wants to be a regular goat, that only talks to her boyfriends char who is a druid, but he cant talk to goats before lvl 5, and only once a day....
Which leaves us with a goat char who does nothing for the group. And then we have the problems with the dwarf. Does he leave the goat anytime? She has not played much rpg before so the conscious thing to have to keep track of two different chars in different places will eventually come up.

How do I explain how difficult this will be without sounding like a negative hater? I really wants this to work as my friend really wants his girlfriend to be a part of this as then they have something to enjoy together. I do a little bit of homebrew but not something as immersive as this.
I have a few buddies that can help with making the chars in itself, I just need help with knowing how to explain this. I mean, am I being the difficult one here? Or is there something I'm missing?
