“Heroine of Kagero: Deception II. A girl who had her memories and feelings of guilt taken from her, before she was trained by the Timenoids to become a human hunter.”

—Description on The Nightmare Princess website

Millennia (ミレニア, Mirenia^?) is the protagonist of the second Deception game, Kagero: Deception II. Kidnapped as a child, she became a specimen for the Timenoids' "Marionette Project", in which she is trained to kill humans with traps.

Physical appearance

Millennia is around 160-170cm (or 5'3"-5'7") tall. She has short black hair and brown eyes. She wears a short blue dress with tights underneath, and dark gray armor on her collar, arms, and boots. Her dress is backless, revealing a red tattoo of the Timenoids brand.

As a child, she had short brown hair instead of black. On the day she visited the circus, she wore a cream white sweater, a brown belt, brown capris, and brown shoes.

In Ending No. 1, she becomes a Timenoid, gaining blue skin. Later, a black and white picture shows her wearing a short sleeved dress matching the lightness of her skin.

In her Deception IV and Warriors All-Stars appearances, Millennia has blue eyes.

Story

In the past

When she was very young, Millennia went to the circus with her parents. The atmosphere was full of delight and excitement - the perfect place for a child. Millennia joined a crowd to observe a clown juggling, entertained.

Drawn in

by the obscure clown's performance, she found herself all alone. However, she soon forgot that as the juggling balls formed into an orb of light. The sphere filled her with all sorts of happy thoughts. Although, as she reached for the ball, it flew away into an enormous mansion.

At first, Millennia became sad and began to turn away. Before she could leave, the doors had opened for her, illuminating a gloomy light upon her. Drawn by the symbol that awaited inside, she entered the mansion as the doors closed behind her.

Unable to find the "pleasant Mr. Timenoid", Millennia found herself trapped and alone, and she cried in the corner of the room. After an unknown period of time, she was saved by someone who would become her mother. After her new mother explained that the clown Timenoid and her parents were murdered by humans, Millennia silently accepted her fate.

Kagero: Deception II

Over the years, Millennia had been raised by her adoptive mother, a Timenoid named Yocal. Yocal trained her to use traps and taught her how terrible the humans were. Fifteen years after her kidnapping, it was time for Millennia to prove her loyalty to the Timenoids. Yocal invited a person named Daar to the Castle in the Forest to test the trap user, and she succeeded in killing the human.

As word of her in the west woods castle got out, other people visited to eliminate her. Millennia was successful in keeping the people out of the castle, whether by killing them or scaring them away.

When unknown individuals mysteriously murdered five Timenoids, King Eclypse went into hiding to protect himself. In the meantime, Millennia was entrusted to watch over the King's Palace until he returns.

"Offer your soul..."

Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess

Millennia, dubbed as the Clockwork Princess, had been dragged into the Quest Tree after learning that Keith was her brother. Still under conflicting emotions, she is encountered by Velguirie, who plans to collect her soul in order to resurrect her father. She has more stamina than the other characters and the power to use traps in rapid succession, after she powers them up.

Appearances in Other Media

Warriors All-Stars

Millennia as she appears in Warriors All-Stars

Millennia is one of two characters from the Deception series that appears in the Koei Tecmo crossover title Warriors All-Stars, alongside Laegrinna from Deception IV.

The story takes place in an alternate world that relies on a miraculous spring to sustain itself. The King who could control the spring's powers suddenly perished, leaving the world in turmoil. The Queen told her daughter to summon otherworldly heroes to save their land, with Millennia being one of them, but the attempted summoning malfunctioned and left them scattered in different areas. Eventually, other members of this royal family are deemed eligible for the throne, dividing all the heroes into three warring factions.

One of the game's alternate story paths and endings is focused on Laegrinna and Millennia. Laegrinna becomes fed up with the warring, and she and Millennia spring a surprise attack on Tamaki and her brother Shiki in an effort to bring the conflict to a quick end so that they can go home. Just as Laegrinna and Millennia are about to kill them, the siblings are forced to use drastic measures in order to send both back to their own world prematurely, possibly dooming Tamaki and Shiki's world in the process. Both Laegrinna and Millennia awaken together in Laegrinna's home. Millennia realizes that she's not where's meant to be, but she joins forces with Laegrinna, and the two prepare to murder a hapless intruder.

Etymology

• Millennia is plural for a millennium, a period equal to a thousand years.

Trivia

• If the player gives Millennia the name Astarte (a character from Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness) at the beginning of the game, she will start with additional Ark.
  • Also, due to Ending No. 1 having a demon named Draconia transform her into a Timenoid and serve him forever, the message "...to be continued", and the last screen showing her with a dress, it is believed that Millennia is Astarte and Kagero is a prequel to Tecmo's Deception. However, there is no official confirmation that it is true.
• The following characters have bonus outfits based on Millennia's attire:
  • Ayane in Dead or Alive 2 and Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round
  • Mayu in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut
  • Laegrinna in Deception IV; her outfit is called the "Deception Costume"
  • Horō in Warriors All-Stars
• The baby featured in one of the endings may hint that Millennia and Keith possibly had an incestuous relationship, as no other context explained the infant's abrupt appearance.
• In Trapt, as well as on the back of the Deception II English cover, her name is misspelled as "Millenia".
• In Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess, her nickname is the "Clockwork Princess". This is a reference to her relation with the Timenoids, which are known as "Clockwork Demons" or a "Clockwork Devil."
  • In the English release, her nickname is the "Princess of Deception."
