The "other half" of how Nudism is portrayed in the media, used less often than the [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] variation -- ironic, due to this being technically speaking a [[Useful Notes/Nudism|more realistic approximation]] of nudist beliefs.

The key difference between a [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]] and an [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] is that while the Innocent Fanservice Girl's lack of a nudity taboo is based on the fact that she never knew of its existence -- i.e., she's too innocent to know better -- the Shameless Fanservice Girl ''knows'' ... she just doesn't '''care.''' She ignores nudity taboos by choice and couldn't care less who's disturbed by it.

This doesn't necessarily mean she prances around the streets in the nude 24/7. Perhaps she's just the type who spends all of her private time in her house without clothing, or only goes nude when she feels safe doing so, such as at the beach. But whatever the reasoning and specifics, the key factor is that she ''does'' understand that nudity is typically frowned upon by people... just not by ''her.''

Her amount of consideration to people who are uncomfortable around her nudity can vary. Sometimes she will get dressed just for the sake of her house guests; other times she'll have a "screw you" attitude and not let the [[Please Put Some Clothes On|disturbed countenance]] of her house guests persuade her to stop being naked if she wants to be. It pretty much depends on what kind of person she is.

Satirical or comedic versions frequently have her facing no repercussions at all (much like her innocent sister-trope), or only comedic ones. Sometimes for extra comedic effect, her nudity will only be noticed by one person whilst being [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|ignored by everyone else for no apparent reason.]] More serious portrayals will tend towards the discreet -- characters that reject the taboo but otherwise do not make it an issue, or only in semi-private situations where they are within their rights to decide what to wear -- or rather, what not to.

One specific caveat -- while this trope can overlap with [[Attention Whore|Attention Whores]], it is ''not'' a subtrope. That is to say, this is not "the exhibitionism trope", but rather, "the knowingly unashamed trope." This does not preclude a rare [[Attention Whore]] who is ''also'' a [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]], but it is not a requirement. The polar opposite of [[Reluctant Fanservice Girl]].

** Then of course there is that wonderful hot spring scene, where Yoruichi strips, Ichigo protests, and when he looks she's a cat. After a few moments of conversing he looks back and she's still naked, but now human. This was specifically meant to make Ichigo flustered.

* Mio in ''[[Ano Natsu de Matteru]]'' is a deconstruction of this trope -- having been raised as a nudist her whole life she was never raised with a nudity taboo. However, instead of having the [[Ms. Fanservice|standard effect]] on her personality it actually causes her a lot of [[Shrinking Violet|self confidence]] problems -- she's convinced that she's a weirdo in comparison to everyone else. She still doesn't wear clothing around the house, can't sleep with clothes on (even in group situations), and can't remember to wear underwear, but altogether she's ''humiliated'' by the fact that she's a "weird nudist" more than anything else. Ironically, or perhaps part of the deconstruction, she wears fairly conservative outfits for the most part (even going so far as to wear a hooded sweatshirt to the pool), and is the first anime and manga character on this list to actually call themselves a nudist, instead of just randomly deciding not to wear clothes when [[Fan Service]] calls for it.

* In ''[[Battle Athletes]]'' (not to be confused with ''Battle Athletes Victory'', the remake) Kris Christopher camly parades around the room she shares with her teammates completely naked as it's part of her culture/religion. The other girls are not particularly thrilled about this.

* Saori Shikikagami from ''[[Ladies versus Butlers!]]!'' sees no problem with stripping on any given occasion. Even if it's by accident, she still treats it as no big deal. Her sister Sanae tries to keep her under control, but it doesn't work very well.

* Shigure of ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]''. She ''does'' get pissed when [[Dirty Old Man|Kensei Ma]] attempts to peek on her in the bath, but could care less about bathing with Kenichi, and doesn't even bother to lock the door to her room when she changes.

* Mami of ''[[Esper Mami]]'' is a strange variant -- her father's a painter, and she works for him as a nude model. As a result, she has no hang ups about being nude, especially at home.
