This foot is a Greek or African foot, with a longer second toe that is even or just slightly longer than the big toe. The toes taper down from the first toe, & the foot is slightly compressible, thin and narrow width throughout. (Though I do think the picture makes her foot look wider, & caveat is it’s a child’s foot, so she wouldn’t actually be fitted for pointe shoes until much later.) This foot has a natural tendency to pronate in and the toes tend to scrunch up when standing.

With all of that information, I would suggest she start with more supportive all satin ribbons and crossed thicker elastics when she begins pointe work, but she could adapt from there and go with her preferences after establishing some strength. I think the ouch pouch jr.’s would be a good place to start unless she wants some fabric underneath the ball of the foot. Then later she could switch to lambs wool after getting more comfortable en pointe, but once she builds strength I would let her venture out from there according to what feels just enough. With her thinner feet and some spacing between the first two toes, she may want to try toe spacers and possibly box liners or Instant Wings, but this would come after fitting into the shoe with the best box for her shape. Which would be a moderately tapered box. And also include a big tip for the big toe to take some pressure off of course. If her heel really becomes a disappearing heel and encounters heels slipping, then I would also add heel grips.
