The Fan Service Doll

Man, I'd like to place my hand upon yo' fuckin' sexy ass and squeeze!

There are times when a character exists simply because Plot Said So, it's Too Late To Delete, or Fanservice. The latter is what this page is about.

Suppose you have a very Noice female character who's in your work and the fans are all Horn Dogs who would do anything to get their hands on her. They'll be talking about how much they "love" her and want to be in a relationship with her. Since it'd be very easy to satisfy them, you do just that. You'll do this by degrading your meaningful character to the Fan Service Doll, the one who now only does things to please the audience.

Not all Dolls start out meaningful. Sometimes they're initially the Doll, making them something like the Useless Secondary. This version of the Doll may end up being someone's Crush and may be oblivious to being that someone's love interest, crushing him and forcing him to double as a Loser.

When they become aware of her popularity among the fandom, the creators could decide to release official depictions of the Doll where she does a seductive gesture at the viewer such as winking or blowing a kiss. If she ever directly talks to the audience, she may say something flirty or otherwise intended to make the audience feel as if she really does love them. Alongside this, the creators may also dress her differently — making her wear less, looser, or more revealing clothes — or intentionally behave sensually if she didn't before and the franchise's rating can allow it. This can make marketing her that much easier for the creators, which they might take the opportunity to do.
