I suggested that sort of thing earlier in the thread. I specifically had [[http://www.google.com/url?source=imgres&ct=img&q=http://season1.fr/images/desperate_housewives_tvguide.jpg&sa=X&ei=kLk9UIb4OsHHrQfo2YGgAQ&ved=0CAQQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNGDfG9P7cidKCq_48gTw3fWCO2Q4w this picture]] in mind. But the problem with that picture (and with similar pictures) is that those aren't fanservice characters. Those are ordinary characters dolled up a specific situation to appeal to particular fetishes.

As for FF X2, "perky, youthful," "strong, confident" and "serious, brooding" are not fanservice characters. Those are just types of women - which people find attractive. Note that none of the corresponding tropes for those characters are on the proposed index (nor should they be). The fanservice in the picture comes from displaying these perky, strong and serious women in ''skimpy outfits'' - and that fanservice applies equally no matter what sort of character wears them.

The ideal picture would show a ReluctantFanserviceGirl, a ShamelessFanserviceGirl, MsFanservice and MrFanservice. Don't know how we'd come up with a picture like that though. Heck, those pages don't even have their ''own'' pictures.
