Marionetta is a Fantasy Webcomic by Míriam Bonastre Tur, hosted on Webtoon as a Webtoon Original.Julia, a young woman from a small hamlet in the nation of Kalgratt, is happy with her rather boring life. But when her best friend Kamille is kidnapped by a travelling circus, Julia races out on an adventure to rescue her, only to find her story cut brutally short. Now trapped by an eldritch castle masquerading as a traveling troupe, Julia must confront the horrifying secrets of the circus and Kalgratt itself, and become a traitor to both to survive.

Deal with the Devil
 Marionetta (Webcomic) / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: Downplayed. Anyone who makes a deal with the Castle (and Tonny) is enslaved to stay inside the castle forever... until they finally get bored of being eternally young and request a Mercy Kill. Dotty reveals it used to be a miserable existence nonetheless, but she found a loophole that let her move and alter the castle to give the residents more freedom.

Crapsack World
 Marionetta (Webcomic) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: Kalgratt is definitely this. All women must be married by the age of twenty to a government approved suitor and men need to be married by twenty-one. Both genders can marry younger or older by joining the army - which has been doing poorly. The government arrests Ah'kon on sight and essentially enslaves them because they need to use their magic to win wars and keep the nation running.

Patriotic Fervor
 Marionetta (Webcomic) / int_23be181a
comment
Patriotic Fervor: Exaggerated with Julia at the beginning of the comic. As a sergeant's daughter, she lives and breathes for Kalgratt, until she is disillusioned after learning that Kalgratt uses magic to maintain the status-quo and hides it from the peasantry and that they basically enslave Ah'kon to do this.

Fantastic Racism
 Marionetta (Webcomic) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: The country of Kalgratt discriminates against three-eyes (people with three eyes) or Ah'kon. Any discovered Ah'kon will be detained and used in experiments. The entire country is taught from their childhoods that Ah'kon are extremely dangerous and to report them to the police.

Government Conspiracy
 Marionetta (Webcomic) / int_5a4aa505
comment
Government Conspiracy: The fascist nation of Kalgratt has lied through their teeth about the true source of their power because the truth happens to be insane; they simply claim that magic is not real and that Ak'hon mutants who once claimed to be magicians should be rounded up in camps. In truth, Kalgratt's military focus is the study of magic, learned by experimenting on Ah'kons, and they're willing to kill anyone to keep their monopoly on the supernatural a secret.

Fantastic Slurs: People in Kalgratt call Ah'kon, three eyes, because they have, well, three eyes. Ah'kon consider the use of three-eyes to be highly offensive.

comment
Devious Daggers: Julia uses knives and is seen killing her boss, Tonny, at the start of the first episode. Downplayed, as while she is willing to do some horrific things to further her goals, she does have standards. Played straight with Sahed, who uses a dagger to kill Kamille and a knife to slit Julia's throat to prove a point.

 Marionetta (Webcomic) / int_c9993b95
comment
Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: Exaggerated. All women in Kalgratt must be married by the age of twenty, unless they are in the army. The government approves a list of locale suitors and sends them to the woman's home along with soldiers until she makes a decision. If you try to evade this, or if you try to run away from your husband and he reports you, you are going to be hunted for the rest of your life.
