unassumed
Never taken on
Unassumed describes something not taken on or adopted.
A role or responsibility left unassumed remains unclaimed: The duties went unassumed after she resigned.
The word can also mean genuine or unpretentious—behavior that hasn't been artificially adopted: His unassumed modesty made him easy to trust.
