Warwick is pretty drain-tanky and is a jungler just like Briar is (both lifesteal oriented) so it could be good having both those characters in case either gets banned or taken by the enemy
other champions that fulfill the a "Im going in and will beat on you until either of us die" type of vibe are Olaf (can jungle or top lane), Illaoi (top lane), Tryndamere (jg, top) and perhaps volibear (jg and top) or renekton (top). Out of these, for a newer player, I would probably recommend Illaoi as she is pretty straight forward, doesn't have any intrinsic mechanics to learn past reading your ability descriptions and then playing her until she feels good. Not able to come up with a good hero that she is similar to though.
If you go to the collection tab in the client you can check all of the champions I named out and see what their abilities do. if you dont already know you can find them like this
