I don't think it fails, I think it's just weak. I wouldn't pull without replacement.
It is just she looks more awed then naive and is wearing a fancy dress that doesn't scream every girl personally.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadKeep until better image suggested.
I thought of this which I feels highlights her naivety a bit better but loses the every girl angle unfortunately:

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadI also found these which highlight the "essentially a fairy-tale heroine in the present" idea a bit more:

I support it.
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300I like 5 the best, it's the strongest in naivete.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.My plan is to trick you into thinking this is my signature when it’s not, then confuse you dead. Doubting my plan? Then it's working!

I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.5.
back lolMy issue with 5 is similar to Bullman's with current but even more pronouced, that dress really doesn't look like an "every girl" to me she looks too princessessy. Whereas with her in the still fancy but but at least reasonably everyday wear dresses in current (and with New York in the background and Robert there in a business suit) it's more obvious she's a "Disney Princess acting girl in a modern setting". Which is why I'd favor 7.1 or 8 which are more obvious on the "not set in a fairytale setting" aspect.
Honestly not feeling any of the suggestions. 8 at least looks the part the most, but I'm don't love it either.
I’m fine with keeping or just going BUPKIS for an image.
I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.If we don't go with any of the suggestions, I would go with no image because again I don't personally think the current works.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadWe could repurpose the old pic on Stock Shoujo Heroine, which has some useful tells that serve this trope similarly — she looks sweet and feminine, wearing an 'everyman'-ish school uniform, and here she's backet by light facing at least one person who doesn't look idealistic:
I like that too, and Tohru was one of the first characters I thought of.

Crown Description:
Naive Everygirl
Following on from here. The current fails to demonstrate either her being naive or an everygirl.
