* ''Literature/TheChangeRoom'': Shar's very beautiful, with her breasts, buttocks and legs described at length. Further, she's the most open and unabashed of the characters about her sexuality. She and Eliza have several explicit sex scenes, which mostly focus on describing Shar since they're from Eliza's perspective.



* ''Literature/WeCanRememberItForYouWholesale'': Shirley the receptionist is a blonde and decently articulated woman who showcases her bare and ample breasts that bounce around at work.



* ''Literature/ZeroSight'': Rei Acerba Bathory is a ProudBeauty with RavenHairIvorySkin that [[VaporWear doesn't wear bras]] and is frequently out her clothes, [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl without any regard for modesty]], enjoying doing scandalous things such as going SkinnyDipping at the academy pool. Dieter experiences this side of her shortly after their meeting her and {{Fainting}} after a bloody fight; he wakes up to find himself in a shower, with Rei casually [[ShowerScene showering in a stall right beside him]], having finished [[UndressingTheUnconscious undressing and washing him herself]]. His mind short circuits between [[EatingTheEyeCandy staring]] at her [[ToplessnessFromTheBack bare back]] and worrying about the fact she likely just gave him a sponge bath.

* ''Literature/YumiAndTheNightmarePainter'': Design's body was made to specification by Hoid, combined with the fact that she doesn't really understand shame, so she doesn't know that she shouldn't let people stare at her.
-->'''Design:''' Make me pretty so they'll be extra disturbed if my face ever unravels. And give me voluptuous curves, because they remind me of a graphed cosign. And also because boobs look fun.

* ''Literature/HalfwayToTheGraveNightHuntress1'': Cat calls Bones's spy Francesca "without a doubt the most gorgeous female I had ever seen. In person ''or'' on television." She spends a full paragraph describing Francesca's impossibly voluptuous figure and the [[{{Stripperific}} extremely tight and minimalist dress she is wearing]].

These are all misuse. Fleur is supernaturally beautiful but she is not stated to dress provocatively or seek attention. And this is a trope about someone's overall characterisation, not individual moments.


* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'' there are some instances of this trope, despite a female and vocally feminist author. Of course the main characters [[HormoneAddledTeenager are teenagers]] in most of the books so both characters [[TruthInTelevision changing in appearance and finding one another attractive]] throughout the series should be expected.
** Fleur Delacour is descended from a Veela who are [[OurSirensAreDifferent siren-like]] creatures with an LivingAphrodisiac effect that attract man and women alike. As a result she is not just very pretty, but is magically, unnaturally beautiful and appealing to pretty much every male student who sees her.
** Hermione Granger isn't described as particularly attractive in the early books, but from the fourth book on, particularly after going Cinderella for the Yule Ball, other characters notice her significantly more. Harry even states she carries herself differently at the Ball, though he muses this may be due to the armload of books [[CuteBookworm she usually]] carries under her arm.
** Ginny Wealsey is often considered this from ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' forward, with many students commenting on [[HeadTurningBeauty her looks]], although it's not actual a major component of the books. She grows out of her shyness while still keeping her [[SmittenTeenageGirl crush]] on Harry as the books go on, and Ron gets hypocritically angry with her for having multiple boyfriends, despite only two ever being mentioned and this really just overprotective big brother behavior. One of the only major Fanservice moments she has comes in Deathly Hallows:
--> '''Aunty Muriel''': But I must say Ginevra's dress is far too low cut.\\
''Ginny glanced around grinning winked at Harry and then quickly faced the front again.''

* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' has quite a few, usually of the "supernaturally beautiful" kind, such as [[HornyDevils Lara Raith]], and [[TheFairFolk Queen Mab]]. There's also his eventual apprentice Molly Carpenter, who grows into someone 'built like a brickhouse' or like a Valkyrie, curves and all. Part of the reason for this is that the POV is [[MaleGaze Harry Dresden]] himself and he's got a pretty awful track record for keeping his head around women. The focus on how attractive all the women around him are goes down noticeably during the books where he's in a relationship, and short stories from other characters perspectives mostly avoid all the MaleGaze usually going on in the main series.

* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': Several Aielwomen have filled this role on occasion, from [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Aviendha]] messing with Rand by undressing in front of him at every opportunity to [[TheVamp Sevanna]] habitually wearing her blouse undone enough that it would qualify her for AbsoluteCleavage if she wore fewer necklaces.
* ''Literature/XanaduStoryverse'': In-universe, Hannah describes the news hosts who interview her after she returns to her hometown as "a perky blonde in a red dress with lots of cleavage [and] a perky brunette in a black dress with even more cleavage", implicitly as an example of the common news station ploy of hiring attractive women as anchors to entice people into watching.
