  • Millennium: I don't think you quite understand. This universe is my dollhouse. Causality is my plaything. If I decide that 2 + 2 equals 4, then 2 + 2 equals 4!
  • Xandra: But 2 + 2 does equal 4.
  • Millennium: You're welcome.

Nature and abilities

"Millennium" seemingly possesses the power to bend reality to her will. She self-identifies as omnipotent, eternal, and impossibly cute, though Stella would argue that all three of these claims are debatable.

Unlike witches, who can do almost anything with their magic but remain fundamentally anchored to the human experience and linear time, "Millennium" claims to be able to see the entirety of time and space at once. This experience has left her with a nihilistic outlook, as she finds it difficult to find fulfillment when she has already seen everything there is to be seen.

Weaknesses

One of "Millennium's" few weaknesses is her crippling fear of dogs, as demonstrated when Xandra introduced her to her pet, Bucky.

  • "Millennium": WHAT IS THAT THING?
  • Xandra: ...You've never seen a dog before?
  • "Millennium": THAT'S WHAT A "DOG" IS?
  • Xandra: His name's Bucky. Here, do you want to pet him?
  • "Millennium": KEEP THAT TERRIFYING BEAST AWAY FROM ME, WOMAN!
  • Stella: This is what does it, eh? I'm going to have to keep that in mind from now on.
  • "Millennium": SHUT UP!

Relationship with humanity

Despite outwardly regarding humans and other earthly creatures with contempt, claiming to transcend the realm of human experience and human comprehension, "Millennium" seems to have a deep fascination with humanity, human nature, and the tendency of humans to "carry on day after day despite knowing it all means nothing." Stella has described "Millennium" as "tsundere, but for the entire human race."

  • Xandra: If you're supposedly omnipotent, why are we doing any of this? Why not just snap your fingers and fix every problem in the world?
  • "Millennium": The sheer entitlement! I won't solve all of humanity's problems because humanity doesn't deserve it.
  • Stella: That's not the real reason, is it?
  • "Millennium": Shut up!
  • Stella: You won't solve humanity's problems because you think we can solve them on our own. And you want to see us do it. You want us to prove our worth to you and to ourselves.
  • "Millennium": I said shut up!!

"Millennium" openly refers to Stella as her "toy" and admits to "playing" with Stella and her friends to relieve her existential boredom. Despite the impossibly vast power differential between the two, Stella is not afraid to put "Millennium" in her place, bopping her on the head with her staff or a textbook on multiple occasions.

The other "Millennium"

In season 5 episode "The New Millennium", Stella encounters an entity with the appearance of teenage boy also calling himself "Millennium". Despite his claim that he is the same individual as the "girl Millennium", he distinctly differs in personality, temperament, and mannerisms. In the season 6 episode "Why, 2K?", "boy Millennium" and "girl Millennium" appear onscreen together and directly interact. Some fans interpret this as confirmation that the two are separate individuals, while others note that "Millennium" has the ability to appear in two different places at once.

"Boy Millennium" has become a popular character among Stellar‌'s Tamblr fandom, where he is typically referred to as "Male-lennium" to distinguish him from "girl Millennium". There have been hours of arguments over whether or not posts relating "Male-lennium" belong in the #millennium stellar tag.

Production

According to showrunner C. Madison Ravenswood, nobody on the production staff can recall who cast "Millennium" or when the character was introduced. "She just showed up on set one day, and when everybody looked at the script again, her parts were in it." Ravenswood is all too happy to take the credit, though, especially when fans praise "Millennium's" characterization.
