A character (usually female) with No Nudity Taboo, who doesn't understand the concept that not wearing clothes is considered indecent. This can be justified any number of ways, but nine times out of ten, it's really for fanservice.

A very common subtype is the creature that is ostensibly inhuman enough to supposedly not need clothing, like the Zora of the Zelda games, Exposed Extraterrestrials, certain furries or weres (with or without Non-Mammal Mammaries), or of course, practically any kind of pixie. This subtype is so overwhelmingly commonplace with these inhuman characters that it usually does not come into play at all, making it an Averted Trope.

...Until they shapeshift into a normal human shape for a while, that is. At that point, the character's nudity is a very serious problem that must be addressed, immediately.

In a more meta sense, this trope is also frequently used to reveal that the character has an entirely different, unusual mindset:

She is an Emotionless Girl or Robot Girl, and may genuinely not understand what everyone's getting upset about (showing a lack of humanity). She is Raised by Wolves or Raised by Natives, and will simply not understand why nudity is a problem for everyone else (showing that she is Closer to Earth). She is a Green-Skinned Space Babe who feels that people with a nudity taboo are backwards and primitive (showing a narrow-minded view of their norms and customs). Alternatively, her people may have a different form of modesty (showing a lack of cultural awareness). She is a local goddess-avatar who might not fully understand why this "nudity" thing is getting in the way of proper worship, but it had better stop (showing a loftier set of priorities). She is a Sugar-and-Ice Girl and/or Genki Girl who might fail to understand why the Childhood Friend is getting upset — after all, they've been together for years, right? (Showing how close she considers the main character.) As a common evolution of this variant, the first outward symptom of a growing attraction or romantic awareness is when she does start caring that they are watching, or when they begin to become flustered. She is from a culture with either no nudity taboo, or differing ones. Often such characters are Naked on Arrival; it's not unheard of for a work to use the two tropes together to add a Fanservice Non-Sequitur (or to set up a Ms. Fanservice or Mr. Fanservice) and then never mention it again.

Special mention goes to "Feral Children" stories — Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan being the biggest ones here, where a character is raised in a situation where they simply don't learn human body shame. In this case, it legitimately is innocent, is depicted for realism or for other reasons necessary for carrying the story, and neither Fanservice nor Freud are anywhere in sight. (Until Disney or other adaptors make them randomly decide to wear a loincloth for censorship reasons.)

Closely related to Shameless Fanservice Girl, a character without a nudity taboo but who still understands the concept, and Reluctant Fanservice Girl, a character with a nudity taboo thrust into a universe that conspires to make her show as much skin as possible. Our Nudity Is Different is when there is a nudity taboo, but it's different enough that the character is naked by the local standard. National Geographic Nudity is this trope applied to society rather than an individual. Not Distracted by the Sexy is basically the reverse of this when the other people in-series aren't noticing the Fanservice of that character. For a rough Spear Counterpart, see the Clueless Chick-Magnet.
