Ms. Pacman, 1981.
Others who beat Samus Aran to it were Thyra the Valkyrie from Gauntlet (1985) and Nana from Ice Climber (1985), but neither were the sole character in the game (Thyra competed with Thor the Warrior, Merlin the Wizard, and Questor the Elf, and Nana was the 2nd-player character while the 1st-player character was Popo).
