When I think fanservice, I think of GetBacker's Hevn (this image is definitely NSFW: http://bukkorosu.net/manga/getbackers/hevn.jpg). I don't know if she transcends fanservice, but she's a more interesting and likeable character than her design might indicate.
Maybe some of the ladies from Bleach?
Lori Baxter from Big Wolf on Campus was introduced as a girl for the two main boys to fight over, and spent a season as the hero's girlfriend. By the final season, she'd broken up with him because she preferred fighting monsters by his side as a friend. And they stayed friends.
