* DontThinkFeel: Raziel tells Marael that if she keeps a clear, meditative state of mind in a fight, her shell will move on its own. Once she forces herself to take a deep breath and ignore the world around her, she sudden awakens to incredible powers.

** At the end of the first day of in-comic time, High Priestess Auriel tells Marael that she isn't an ordinary scout unit, but a prototype for a new model who has been charged with an important mission.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCorruption: "Flesh Corruption" is a risk in this setting. Spread by "Amorphous Flesh", the Cendarii official policy when dealing with it is to [[RunOrDie run like hell]].

* HumanAliens: Cendarii look like short human woman with electric blue hair and eyes. Marael finds this as confusing as anyone, considering that the Cendarii only learned that humans exist very recently.

-->-- '''Sienna Harris'''

After countless years searching the stars, the Cendarii finally found a suitable world for colonization. Unfortunately, it was already occupied. Marael was sent to Earth to study its inhabitants and learn their combat techniques. But what was supposed to be a relatively simple operation quickly turned out to be much more complicated...

''Cendaran: Marael'' is a [[KoreanWebtoons webtoon]] written and drawn by "Miss M", A.K.A. independent [[VirtualYoutuber VTuber]] Maia Starchild, chronicling the adventures of Marael and her classmates at [[AcademyOfAdventure Saint Scarlet's Combat Academy]] in a world where [[TheMagicComesBack magic and monsters have returned to Earth]].

The comic can be read on [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/cendaran-marael/list?title_no=903904 Webtoons]] or on [[https://cendaran.com/comics/ Miss M's personal website]], with updates going up on the latter first.
----
!!''[=Cendaran: Marael=]'' features examples of:
* AcademyOfAdventure: The comic's first arc is the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aptly named]] Academy Arc, detailing Mar's time at Saint Scarlet's Combat Academy, a school where the first lesson is being thrown in a huge maze and encouraged to fight any other student you encounter for points.
* AfterTheEnd: 200 years prior to the events of the main comic, the Earth passed through a giant cosmic LeyLine, which killed most life, rendered a majority of the planet uninhabitable, and reduced civilization to a collection of city-states.
* ArtEvolution: Even within the first few months, Miss M's art style developed quite a bit. It's most obvious looking at Rime: in the early chapters, they had a constant transparency effect on their body and looked like they were constantly melting. By the end of Marael's fight with Sienna, they'd become totally opaque and had a much more stable SlimeGirl design.
* DittoAliens: All Cendarii look pretty much the same - pale skin, similar faces, long, electric blue hair, [[CurtainsMatchTheWindows matching eyes]], and extremely short and petite by human standards, unless they're a Paladin, in which case they might just be ''pretty'' short by human standards. Of course, they are ArtificialHumans.
* ElementalPowers: The Tribes inscribe themselves with runes of power tied to a specific element, allowing them to manipulate their tribe's element. The Graves family are from the [[CastingAShadow Shadow Tribe]].
* FantasticCasteSystem: Cendarii are created with specific purposes in mind. Marael herself was designed to be a scout, and protests that she isn't a combat model multiple times during the first trial.
* HiveMind: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] All Cendarii are constantly in mental contact with the Master System and their batchmates, and have access to the combined knowledge of the entire history of the species. [[WordOfGod According to Miss M]], any Cendaran who was cut off from the hive would instantly fall into a coma, and, even if they were to ever recover, they would feel a deep, profound emptiness.
* HumanAliens: Cendarii look like short human woman with electric blue hair and eyes. Marael finds this as confusing as anyone, considering that the Cendarii only learned that humans exist very recently.
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: The only non-women to have appeared in the comic so far are Instructor Graves, Alaric, and [[NoBiologicalSex Rime]].
* OneGenderRace: All Cendarii are women, including the Master System, which may or may not even have a physical body. They are manufactured, not born, so the issue of reproduction doesn't come up.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Cendarii are frequently regarded as "artificial angels" by humans, especially ones who can sense their divine auras. Thought they haven't appeared yet, WordOfGod is that real angels exist in the setting, and that they have no individual personalities or free will and would vanish from existence the moment they were cut off from their god.
* PowerTattoo: The Tribes derive their magical abilities by tattooing unique runes on their bodies, usually on the face.
* ScienceFantasy: Let's start with the fact that our heroine is an [[ArtificialHuman artificial]] alien [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angel]] and go from there...
* TheMagicComesBack: Due to Earth's decreasing mana density, magic users and fantasy creatures were much rarer before the LeyLine hit.
* TheMaze: Navigating one is the first trial at Saint Scarlet's. The InfiniteCanvas is used to show just how huge it is.
