Just pre-emptively making a case for a few of my noms...
- Female Eru (Silmarillion): The account in the Silmarillion of the creation of the world is canonically only an interpretation; Eru could be anything at all. Also there is apparently a Finnish translation that uses female pronouns for Eru.
- The Withywindle (LOTR): A river, but arguably one with a very "female" energy (Goldberry the River-daughter lives on its banks, and there are references to a mysterious River-woman).
- Nenya (LOTR): A Ring of Power. The One Ring is depicted as almost sentient; Gandalf states in canon that none of the rings should be used lightly, which I extrapolate to mean that the Elven rings have "personalities" too. Nenya is wielded by the canonically female Galadriel, and while -ya isn't strictly a female affix, it isn't male either.
