''Silenziosa'' is a web comic created by Creator/VoxDay and written by Day and Creator/ChuckDixon. It is published on the Website/{{Arkhaven}} site.

Alissabetta, Princess of the Blood, daughter of His Majesty King Charles Arthur III of Inghiltar, Yrlandia, and the Skotian Isles, has come of age. She intends to serve her royal house as a dressmaker but her parents have other ideas. They instead send her to the Silent academy, where she will train to become royal assassin—a position recently vacated when her uncle Roderick was killed in action.

She is not best pleased with this.

!! This series provides examples of:

* AssassinOutclassin: The Queen dispatches her husband's would-be killer with an axe.
* BadassBookworm: Silent students are expected to learn not just the scientific aspects of assassination, but the histories of the various royal and noble clans, the better to understand their future targets.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Alissabetta is dismayed at being presented with an array of assassin's implements, King Charles talks up their exquisite high quality, not to mention their presentation box.
* DeadlyEuphemism: Assassination is referred to as "silencing", hence the name of the academy.
* DoomedNewClothes: Subverted. Olwyn manages to remove the bloodstain and get Alissabetta's dress dry in time for ''la presentazione''.
* DramaQueen: Our heroine, established in the very first panel.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Raffaella invokes this, saying Alissabetta's innocent-looking face would be an advantage for an assassin. Yrina does the same, convincing Prince Krisztofer of Alissabetta's hidden guile.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The setting resembles pre-industrial Europe. Alissabetta's homeland appears to be an equivalent to Britain.
* GoToYourRoom: When Alissabetta persists in her refusal of her assigned duty, King Charles banishes her to her chambers.
* GoYeHeroesGoAndDie: King Charles uses the attempt on his life to impress upon Alissabetta the importance of her assigned role. She concedes the point, but ponders with growing alarm that she might suffer just as grisly a fate as her father's would-be assassin.
* GoshDangItToHeck: When Alissabetta pricks her finger she exclaims "Son of a misbegotten woman of ill repute!" She immediately apologises to the women present for her language.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: The ladies' fencing instructor, after one of their lessons.
* InsistentTerminology: Alissabetta is a dressmaker, not a seamstress.
* MeetCute: Alissabetta inadvertently backs into Neville Lestrange, who is carrying a stack of books.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both Alissabetta and her parents are firm believers in this. Alas, they have very different ideas of what that something should be.
* SneezeOfDoom: A cloud of dust from a library book triggers a sneeze from Alissabetta, and away goes Neville's ladder.
* TrueBlueFemininity: The dress Alissabetta makes for her ''presentazione'' is blue.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Bordilla Mac A'Phearsain, an aggressive hothead whose accent and verbal tics are very Scottish-sounding.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Marquessa Yrina Karavayev, a ruthless, devious bully who is willing to make a ''very'' early start to her vocation as assassin.
