simple soul
Trusting, uncomplicated person
A simple soul is a person who is guileless, uncomplicated, or naively trusting.
The phrase suggests someone without cunning or sophistication, often used affectionately but sometimes condescendingly: She was a simple soul who believed whatever people told her.
It can imply innocence or unworldliness rather than lack of intelligence.
