Q: What comes first, Apple ID or iCloud email address?

It's such a basic question, I'm embarrassed to even ask it, but...

My wife finally graduated to needing her own Apple ID. We didn't share mine, she just didn't need one before. She always had her own user account on the Mac.

 

When I go to set up an Apple ID for her, the first field is asking for her email / ID, which should be her new-to-be-set up @iCloud.com email address.

When I go to Internet Accounts, however, it's asking for her Apple ID and password when I try to set up the @iCloud.com email account.

 

Which comes first, or am I missing something completely obvious?
