Is it Galadriel? I seem to remember Gimli and Eomer's conversation about Galadriel. Gimli said that he chose Galadriel as the morning Eomer chose Arwen as the evening.
In three days, as the King had said, Eomer of Rohan came riding to the City, and with came an eored of the fairest knights of hte Mark. He was welcomed; and when they sat all at the table in Merethrond, the Great Hall of Feasts, he beheld the beauty of the ladies that he saw and was filled with great wonder. And before he went to his rest he sent for Gimle the Dwarf, and he said to him: "Gimli Gloin's son, have you your axe ready?"
"Nay, lord," said Gimli, "but I can speedily fetch it, if there be need."
"You shall judge," said Eomer. "For there are certain rash words concerning the Lady of the Golden Wood that lie still between us. And now I have seen here with my own eyes."
"Well, lord," said Gimli, "what say you now?"
"Alas!" said Eomer. "I will not say that she is the fairest lady that lives."
"Then I must go for my axe," said Gimli.
"But first I will plead this excuse," said Eomer. "Had I seen her in any other company, I would have said all that you could wish. But now I will put Queen Arwen Evenstar first, and I am ready to do battle on my own part with any who deny me. Shall I call for my sword?"
Then Gimli bowed low. "Nay, you are excused for my part, lord," he said. "You have chosen the Evening; but my love is given to the Morning. And my heart forbodes that soon it will pass away for ever."
Flogging a dead horse:
Glaurung the father of Dragons had no father either since he was the first dragon, or maybe the ents since they were created by Yavana and thus only had a mother.

I believe that Morgoth developed dragons by breeding drakes (essentially very large lizards) for size, and then when one was sufficiently large, introducing an Ainu to be its soul. So while the case is ambiguos, I believe that Glaurung had a father. The father was just not a dragon.
Please, the clue is not arbitrary. There are no doubt hundreds, if not thousands of first x's for any given x in Tolkien's works; and I am not making you play a guessing game amongst all those hundreds of things. The answer (well the two answers) when found will also be found to fit the clue exactly, and uniquely (except for the other correct answer).

Ok, cancel my last guess.
I think I have it now (how many times have I thought that?)
Imin, the first Elf to awaken at the pool.
That is correct; Imin, of course, meaning "First". I would also have accepted as equally correct Iminye (also meaning "First"), his wife who woke up beside him.
Nimloth was a great guess, but I wanted Nimroths oldest ancestor
