Sandbox / Innocent Fanservice Girl Wick Check

Go To

Innocent Fanservice Girl seemingly has a fairly specific definition (A usually female character with No Nudity Taboo who runs around naked, usually to provide Fanservice). However, the trope's name is very general and may attract misuse, and there's also a problem of examples that are absolutely not fanservicey getting filed under this trope (usually examples of a Wild Child), which, while considered valid per the definition, really feel like they should be under another trope or their own trope to avoid making this trope's definition even more murky.

Wicks checked 30/50

    open/close all folders 

     Correct Use per primary definition: 4/ 50 
  • Characters.Dear S: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Having no concept of Earth taboos, she sees nothing wrong with being underclothed in public, or discussing/engaging in what could be considered erotic acts with Takeya regardless of time or place. Seems to be a straight fit.
  • RanmaOneHalf.Tropes G To L: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Ranma does not seem to comprehend that being topless as a girl is not always appropriate. He honestly isn't much better at staying clothed as a guy, either. Anemic but functional.
  • Manga.Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Hazumu. Justified as she just turned into a girl and is therefore unfamiliar with how they should act, such as flapping her skirt to cool her legs, and asking Asuta to measure her bust size. I'll lean towards letting this one pass, although it's very much an edge case that requires a very liberal take on the trope's definition.
  • Najica Blitz Tactics: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Lila needs to bathe in a special water formula to nourish herself as a Humaritt. She doesn't realize why going naked is a bad thing to do. Likewise, when her swimsuit fell off and bares her breasts, she feels nothing is wrong and doesn't do anything until Najica chastises her. Seems appropriate, character runs around naked and doesn't get why it's an issue.

     Correct use, but not played for Fanservice 0/ 50 

     Misuse: "Character is too innocent to realize they are being viewed as attractive" 3/ 50 

     Misuse: One of the other Fanservice girl tropes: 2/ 50 
  • Film.The Notorious Bettie Page: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Bettie truly had no shame about her body. Photographers and consumers found her so appealing because she was extremely comfortable nude. One article describes her as "nude but not naked." Should be Shameless Fanservice Girl, as she's very aware of a nudity taboo, she just chooses to not care.
  • 2NE1: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Minzy once off-handedly spoke about her fondness for going naked in the apartment she shares with Bom and, some time afterwards, she had another similar outburst. Would probably be Shameless Fanservice Girl but this is troping a real person outside the context of a biography.

     Misuse: Other 2/ 50 
  • Beauty and the War: X Playing Pieces: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Ambrosia's outfit consists of just red ribbons and a sheer skirt. She's not trying to be provocative, though, she just thought the injured warriors and the elders needed the winter clothes more and she would have to remove clothes to cut herself for the blood healing that Phoenix's do anyway. I could potentially see this as valid, but her reactions have nothing to do with a nudity taboo, and she has a pragmatic reason for dressing like this too.
  • The Monster Under the Bed: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Young Shadow apparently doesn't know the concept of underwear, as she doesn't wear anything else under her clothes, and expresses confusion when Tim points it out. She wears clothing normally, just skips underwear... doesn't seem to fit fully to me.
