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

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
- Music.Hello Project: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Sayumi can act like this, but she knows what she's doing. Seems to imply she is acting innocent, rather than having anything to do with her running around naked.
- Webcomic.Tawawa On Monday: Innocent Fanservice Girl: The series' stock and trade. Parodied in the 2019 April Fools special, where Ai-chan gets flustered over an R18 version of the series while Maegami and Kouhai react with innocent to mild bemusement. This seems to have less to do with nudity and more to do with awareness of being exploited.
- Wrestling.Aksana: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Sort of when she first started on SmackDown!. Her gimmick was that of a Funny Foreigner who didn't realize she was dropping innuendos. 'Might be better under Accidental Innuendo.
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.
ZCE 16/ 50
- Webcomic.Banzai Girl: Ms Innocent Fanservice Girl: Jinky. Already commented out as a ZCE, also a double example.
- Series.Les Revenants: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Lucy becomes more uninhibited as the series progresses. "Becoming more uninhibted" stinks of misuse, but the entry is too anemic to make a call.
- Characters.We Are Our Avatars One: Innocent Fanservice Girl: Very heavy with the "Innocent" part, light with the "Fanservice" part. Already commented out.

- Cells at Work! CODE BLACK: Innocent Fanservice Girl: In an omake, when AA2153 asks where her name tag is, she says it is inside her shirt and starts to open it before an embarrassed AA2153 stops her. Not enough context to determine what fanservice girl trope this is.
- RosenkreuzStilette: Innocent Fanservice Girl: She wears a bikini that barely covers her body, yet she doesn't seem to mind. Same as above, it's not clear if she isn't aware that this is inappropriate, or she simply doesn't care.
Potholes used to refer to a character: 3/ 50
- Tropes N to S: Sexy Santa Dress: During Christmas in Pallet Town, Ash is half-relieved, half-disappointed that Iris didn't choose to wear one of these for the holidays. Pothole used to indicate a character, going to keep track of these as there are a shitload of them.

- Narbonic: Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: Artie doesn't always remember to put it on after he transforms. Ditto
Other/Unclassifiable 1/ 50
- YMMV.The Pet Girl Of Sakurasou: Best Known for the Fanservice: While Sakura-sou is almost entirely character drama, Tear Jerker moments, and realistic struggles with life and romance, most non-fans are only aware of the heavily advertised couple of scenes where a spaced-out girl gets naked. And the title translates to "The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall," making the whole thing look like a Harem Series. Just part of a chained sinkhole on a YMMV page.
