Learn English – Word that describes embracing imperfection

phrasessingle-word-requests

What is the English word for people who embrace their mistakes and flaws? It is to be used as a name for a team/group.
I have thought of the word 'flawed' but it's kind of too literal. I'm looking for something that says the beauty of flaws in a more sophisticated way and with deeper meaning than just the word 'flawed'. It doesn't necessarily have to be a single word; a short phrase would suffice as well.

The phrase warts and all springs to mind. This was supposedly used by Cromwell to his portrait-painter to discourage a flattering representation.

It has come to be applied to something that should be accepted in its entirety, good points as well as bad.
