Innocent Fanservice Girl: Difference between revisions

|'''Grace''', |''[[El Goonish Shive]]''}}

* '''How close she considers the main character:''' The [[Sugar and Ice Personality|Sugar and Ice Girl]] and [[Genki Girl]] might not understand why the [[Childhood Friend Romance|Unlucky Childhood Friend]] is getting upset—afterupset — after all, they've been together for years, right? As a common evolution of this sub-trope, the first outward symptom of a growing attraction or romantic awareness is when she ''does'' start caring that ''he'' is watching, or when ''he'' begins to become flustered.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': A monkey tossed into the Spring of Drowned Girl comes out as a naked girl who looks [[Cloning Blues|almost exactly like female Ranma]]. She, beingBeing a monkey and having no knowledge of any nudity taboo, she is unashamed of her unclothed state. Her nakedness [[Distracted by the Sexy|causes some difficulties]] for the prince who did the tossing, resulting in him suffering a [[Gender Bender]] himself—and getting stuck in female form.

* Miharu and basically every human resident of the alien world Seiren from ''[[Girls Bravo]]'' have absolutely no restraint regarding nudity due to their planet being almost entirely composed of ([[No Bisexuals|apparently heterosexual]]) women. This, of course, allows the show to completely indulge in every kind of [[Fan Service]] imaginable. Miharu’s lack of anger contrasts that of Kirie, who assumes that Yukinari had lewd intentions when he accidentally catches her in the shower.

* Both personalities of [[Half-Human Hybrid|diclonius]] Lucy/Nyu from ''[[Elfen Lied]]'', though the show alternates this character trait frombetween genuine attempts [[Fan Service]], toand deeply disconcerting [[Fan Disservice]]. The Nyu personality lacks an aversion towards nudity because of her innocent and blissful ignorance of any such social taboos (due to amnesia), while the Lucy personality lacks such an aversion {{spoiler|because of the extreme deprivation and trauma she suffered in the twisted research facility that she was imprisoned in for three years ([[Break the Cutie|though she received roughly the same treatment nearly all of her life]])}}. In fact, almost every diclonius on the show is an example, despite [[Harmful to Minors|nearly all of them being young children]], though most of them [[Enfante Terrible|aren't exactly innocent]]. Considering the nudity is [[Full-Frontal Assault|almost invariably accompanied by copious amounts of gore]], it ends up firmly as [[Fan Disservice]].

* In ''[[Kamisama Kazoku]]'', protagonist Samataro's [[Hot God|goddess]] [[Hot Mom|mom]] is the Innocent Fanservice Girl, shamelessly mixing it up with [[My Beloved Smother|a deep affection for her son]] that adds to the [[Oedipus Rex]] plot of the series. She goes so far as to fall asleep in her son's bed nude, and when he wakes her up to chastise her, she is completely unashamed about it.

* ANorth ''male''Italy hasis thisan roleInnocent Fanservice Guy in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. North Italy isHe's fond of getting some or all of his clothes off when he wants to sleep, which gets him often in trouble with others.

* Choko of ''[[Chocotto Sister]]'' can behave this way at times., Especiallyespecially early in the story where she sincerely believed a [[Hadaka Apron]] was something sisters were supposed to wear for their brothers.

* Tima of ''[[Osamu TezukasTezuka's Metropolis]]'' frequently runs around with no pants, or even underwear for much of the movie, and makes no effort to hide this, but nobody seems to notice.

* The Eponymous ''[[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku|Nuku Nuku]]''. Since she has the brain of a cat and an android body, she qualifies for both the [[Robot Girl]] and [[Raised by Wolves]] subtypes.

* Lacus Clyne from ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' initially appeared to be this when [[Obfuscating Stupidity|pretendedpretending to be]] a [[Cloudcuckoolander]].

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* Storm of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' comes from an African tribe with [[National Geographic Nudity]] aplenty. Not only that, but her mutant powers included a physical immunity to weather extremes, so she had no qualms going naked in New York in the dead of winter. However, she eventually grew accustomed to Western norms, so the issue never comes up anymore.

* Male Example: Doctor Manhattan from ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]''. He looks like a very tame biology class drawing of the human body. That was done intentionally to make it pass the censor board. On the other hand, in the [[Watchmen (film)|film adaptation]] there is a little too much detail.

* Ahem, [[Wonder Woman]]. Tends to be true in cartoon and live adaptionsadaptations too. Diana never seems to see anything wrong with wearing what is, in effect, a strapless, low-cut bathing suit in public.

== [[Fan Works]] ==

== Films -- Animation[[Film]] ==

* One of the segments of ''[[Amazon Women on the Moon]]'' involves a woman parodying the typical portrayal of Hollywood women / Modelsmodels of the time by acting like this—that is to say, she walks around completely nude (in lingerie in the edited for TV version) while doing typical daily things (going to an art show, walking around town, ''going to church'', etc.) She gives the stereotypical vapid interview responses as narration, talking about how much she loves the area, how nice people are to her, etc.

* In ''[[Sherlock Holmes: aA Game of Shadows]]'', Mycroft's casual nudity would not have counted as [[Fan Service]]... had the character been played by anybody but [[Stephen Fry]].

* Rachel[[Raquel Welch]]'s iconic [[Fur Bikini]]-clad [[Nubile Savage]] character from ''[[One Million Years BC]]''. Many critics claimed her [https[w://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fur_bikini_of_Raquel_WelchFur bikini of Raquel Welch|skimpy fur bikini]] looked like it came from "Fredrick's of Bedrock", and that it looked more like something a supermodel would wear.

== [[Literature]] ==

* Because he was [[Raised by Wolves|raised by highly spiritual and otherworldly Martians]], Valentine Michael Smith of ''[[Stranger in Aa Strange Land]]'' has little to no nudity taboo, and a quietly thoughtful curiosity about earthling sex.

* Some of the Uberwald werewolves in ''[[Discworld/The Fifth Elephant|The Fifth Elephant]]'' eschew clothing as a matter of pride, to show that they are separate from (and superior to) humans. Angua doesn't share these views as much.

* Oar in [[James Alan Gardner]]'s ''Expendable'' and ''Ascending'' novels of ''[[The League of Peoples Verse]]''. Notable because due to genetic engineering gone horribly <s>wrong</s> '''right''', Oar is breathtakingly beautiful, [[Nigh Invulnerable]], and completely see through—she looks like a walking, talking glass statue.

* Aphreal from ''[[The Elenium]]'' is of the Goddess type, while she takes on mortal form she stays clothed, (thankfully since her preferred form is a little girl), whenever she has to revert to her real form she sees no reason to bother with clothing, much to the consternation of Sparhawk.

* A group of girls like this are produced artificially in one of the ''[[Gor]]'' books. They're raised from birth with [[No Nudity Taboo]] and no contact with men. When they reach 18 or 20 they're sent out to the royal court to be raped. [[Moral Event Horizon|Then they are killed the next day because the experience drives them irretrievably insane.]]. Even the protagonist finds the whole thing sickening.

* ''[[John Carter of Mars]]'': Dejah Thoris. And all the other women of Barsoom. And the men. The various Barsoomiam races wear plenty of jewelry (which denotes social status) and in many cases leather harnesses (for attaching weapons/tools/possessions to) but nothing else. They also seem to find the Earthly custom of wearing clothes to be amusing- particularly ''hats'', for some reason.

* The [[Plant Person|kodama]] from ''[[Return to Neverend]]'' are an entire ''species'' of nudists; being trees, they see no need to wear clothing.

== [[Live -Action TV]] ==

{{quote|''And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.''|[[The --Bible/Source/Genesis|Genesis 2:25]]}}

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' has a few.

** Elves of the [[Forgotten Realms]] normally don't see any problems with nudity, and humans who dealt with them too much (including the Seven Sisters) sometimes pick up their habits. Though they make adjustments to not become too much of a distraction when among the humans. In books, citizens of Cormanthor (''Elminster in Myth Drannor'') considered a handful of enchanted gems stuck to the skin to be a fashionable dress, and for the ladies of Evereska (''Return of the Archwizards''), the discovery that men who see them swimming start to breathe heavily was rather disconcerting. Drow also got Eilistraee—as one of the authors put it, "goddess of butt-neckid moon dance". To be fair, in her case, her nudity is supposed to represent freedom, which she embodies.

* ''[[Exalted]]'' has the [[Artificial Human|Alchemical]] ''Thousand-Faceted Nelumbo'', who, given that she's a cold-proof robot and a loner by necessity, usually doesn't wear anything other than a cloak, which she casts off during a fight. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]], however, in that she's actually aware that this attracts stares-the cloak can reshape itself into normal clothing if she's forced into a social situation.

== [[Video Games]] ==

** In the case of Midna, the resident [[The Imp|Imp]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', it's hard to tell if she's wearing skintight clothing or is naked with patches of lighter and darker skin. But she ''is'' a small, round-ish imp with only hints of a feminine physique, so (aside from being a popular source of [[Fetish Fuel]]) it's ambiguous as to whether or not she's intentional fanservice. {{spoiler|She does however gets bumped up to clear-cut fanservice at the end of the game.}}

** Princess Ruto (and most of the other Zoras) in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' wear no clothes, but [[Nonhumans Lack Attributes|being fish people]], the closest thing to naughty bits we see are [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|nipple-less breasts]]. Although they're a clear case of no nudity taboo, the Zoras have been shown to sometimes wear clothes, such as in the sequel ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'' which features a female Zora singer who wears a dress. This is all justified, of course, as the Zora are an aquatic race and clothes would make swimming (at least swimming as fast as ''they'' can) difficult.

== [[Visual Novels]] ==

* Lampshaded in the [[Web Comic]] ''[[Errant Story]]'': "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130827001719/http://www.errantstory.com/2008-02-11/768 Having no cultural nudity taboo does not work that way!]"

* [[Gag Boobs|Over-developed]] French-Canadian blonde amazon DiDi from the webcomicweb comic ''[[Ménage à 3]]'', which is basically ''[[Three's Company|Threes Company]]'' updated to the early 21st century and set in Montreal. She's a hybrid between [[Ms. Fanservice]] and Innocent Fanservice Girl—so far, she has had no problems with her new female roommate walking in on her in the shower, has no problem walking around both her roommates in translucent lingerie, and is happily sunbathing topless in front of her male and female roommates, in a public park.

* Used in an early strip of ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' when Elan, the resident idiot, decides that, due to the way armor check penalties work in D&D 3.5, the less he wears, the harder he is to see. Taking this to its logical extreme, he concludes that if he strips he will be invisible. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* Largo from ''[[Megatokyo]]'' is a rare male example, preferring to strip to avoid static discharge when working on computers, but not caring who else is in the room. Noteworthy is that Ping, the ''Robot Girl'', is not like this, and is in fact the one who usually beats Largo with brooms for his behavior. Also interestingly, when he is called on this by one of the classroom full of schoolkids he's encouraging to follow his example. He denies any suggestion of impropriety by simultaneously berating the few kids in the class who are calling for the girls to get their kit off for paying more attention to their classmates than the components they are supposed to be working with, thus, for him, the lack of respect is not about the nudity, but not showing the proper repsectrespect/caution for working with your components.

* The cast of the furry webcomicweb comic ''Apollo'' includes 3 centauroids (2 feline and 1 wolf) who only wear tops. Somehow the fact that they wear no pants never comes up, except for an April Fools page where everyone was turned into a human, and the (ex)wolf (along with the two cats only shown from the waist up) simply stares down and shrieks "I'm not wearing any pants!"

** {{spoiler|Sasha}} appears to have elements of this too. She has no problem changing out of her clothes in front of Torg, who is far more embarassedembarrassed than she.

* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]:'': Since Molly is a vaguely [[Muppet]]-like furry monster, she rarely wears clothing, despite actually having a pretty nice figure. Her [[Cloning Blues|clone-sister]] Galatea has taken to wearing clothes, however, which helps tell them apart.

* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]''{{'}}s werewolves are nudists (literally called that in comic) and thus follow this trope fairly closely, if only because they can switch to a fur covering anytime they want—the lack of [[Magic Pants]] is also a factor. Subverted somewhat in that the less mature guys (and gals) still like to leer at the attractive naked people walking around. (Although the single Werewolf guy we've seen doing this is considered ''very'' immature.)

* Shelly Mander from ''[[Femmegasm]]'' is always naked, but doesn't realize there's any problems with it.

* Baalah from ''[[Pawn]]''. A ridiculously [[Buxom Is Better|buxom]], most likely lesbian, perpetually naked demon girl. She apparently doesn't even own any clothes.

== [[Real Life]] ==

* It does exist in certain situations: In some countries, like Germany or Finland, going completely nude into public, mixed-gender Saunassaunas is pretty much normal, which may surprise people from other places who are used to everyone covering themselves with bathing trunks, bikinis or towels.

* Reportedly, [[Joan of Arc]] decided it would be a bit pointless to worry much about modesty while travelling with the army, and was therefore frequently at least topless while getting in and out of her armor. Soldiers later testified that they felt no desire for her; whether this meant that she wasn't very attractive<ref>Probably not the case, based on some of the testimony given after her death at her "Rehabilitation".</ref> or that they did not want to admit to sexual desire for someone who was beloved to the point of worship is up for debate.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130624132827/http://healthmad.com/mental-health/vestiphobia-the-fear-of-clothing/ Vestiphobia]—from Latin ''vestis'' (clothing) and Greek ''phobos'' (fear). A paranoid fear of clothing usually caused by a traumatic experience linked to cloth, it can be as minor as feeling very uncomfortable when wearing certain types of materials, to the point of being completely unable to handle getting dressed. One of the most common symptoms of vestiphobia is an overpowering conscious or subconscious desire to remove the offending articles of clothing. Unlike [[Naked People Are Funny|fiction]], this is [[Nightmare Fuel|not as]] [[Fridge Horror|funny as it sounds.]].

* [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] in ''Among the White Moon Faces: An Asian-American Memoir of Homelands'' (1996, pp.&nbsp; 142–145, 149) by Shirley Geok-lin Lim. While searching for an ideal roommate, she accepts an offer from Jason and Brenda Clinken, a nudist couple, and finds their nudity off-putting.<ref>Her unease is justified by the fact that she didn't find out about their nudism until ''after'' she'd already moved in with them.</ref>

* There are plenty of people who [[wikipediac:File:Girl hands out flyer at Loveparade 03.jpg|don't]] [http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0dq9rOpN01qd6w8uo1_500.jpg mind]{{dead link}} [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QiZ3Ub0w_xo/Tm1NUFBSNdI/AAAAAAAABIY/i0Q62uASU0o/s400/nude.jpg doing] [http://thespencertunickexperience.org/2001_Cutty_Sark/Admiral_Hardy.jpg this].
