| Holly Marie Combs-Piper Halliwell |
Piper was born on August
7, 1973, and is the middle child until Prue's death. Her powers include the ability
to freeze and explode objects at will. She is most concerned with having a normal life, and always
has reservations about her life as a Charmed One. When she first becomes a Charmed One, she is quiet and reserved, often having
to mediate between Prue and Phoebe. As the show progresses, she gains a stronger persona and takes more authority after Prue
dies. She eventually becomes the mother of two sons (Wyatt and Chris) and a daughter (Melinda) with her husband Leo
Wyatt, and goes to great lengths to protect her children. In the series finale,
the final montage shows her with a granddaughter. Her love of food steers her to a career in the culinary arts, which leads
her to open her own club, and as revealed in the last episode, her own restaurant.

(Seasons 1–3) Born October 28, 1970, Prue is the eldest Halliwell sister. Born with the power of telekinesis, she later manifests an astral projection ability. Strong-willed, feisty and intelligent, she would often take charge of situations and has always been
overprotective of her two sisters, Piper and Phoebe. Having spent her childhood taking care of her two younger sisters after
the death of their mother, she became responsible, with a fierce determination at whatever she did, including fighting demons.

life. On May 17, 2001, she is killed by Shax, a demonic assassin sent by the Source.

Phoebe, born November 2, 1975 is the original baby of the family and is a spontaneous, free-spirited
young woman. The power she was born with is premonitions, which grow to enable her to see into the past as well as the future. This later allows her to project herself into the future. She later gains
the powers of levitation, which she often combines with her martial arts skills, and the power of magical empathy but later loses the latter two. She is a romantic, and later becomes a
successful columnist and author. Early on, she often had a turbulent relationship with her older sister, Prue; later she mediates
between Piper and Paige. Her longest relationships are with Cole Turner for over a year, and Coop. In 2006, the Angel of Destiny marries Phoebe and Coop, as seen in
the series finale, and they eventually have three girls. She continues to work at the Bay Mirror and writes a book on finding
love.

2, 1977. After a secret love affair with her Whitelighter Samuel Wilder, the Charmed Ones' mother, Patty
Halliwell, gave birth to a fourth daughter. They left Paige at the doors of a church
because her parents' love was forbidden. Her personality is bold and vibrant, adding a new dynamic to the show from season

orbing to create telekinetic-orbing. She comes into the craft quickly, aiding in the vanquish of The
Source of All Evil. In Season 8, she gains the ability to heal those she loves, starting with
Henry. She is driven to become a "full-time witch", and has a hard time finding a career she is content with, eventually settling
with her destiny as a Whitelighter, like her
father. After the death of Gideon, Paige begs the Elders to keep Magic
School open. They agree only if Paige becomes the headmistress and runs the school
to guarantee the students safety. Paige marries mortal parole officer Henry Mitchell and they have twin daughters and a son,
Henry Jr.
