## History

### Life of Patty Halliwell

#### Childhood

Patty was born on April 5, 1950, to Allen Halliwell and Penny Johnson, a mortal and witch respectively. They went on to live at Penny's ancestral home, 1329 Prescott Street, which became known as Halliwell Manor. As a descendant of Melinda Warren, Patty was born with the power of molecular immobilization (also known as the power to "freeze").

Shortly after her birth, Penny held a wiccaning for her daughter to protect her from evil and have her blessed by her ancestors. However, during Patty's wiccaning, a demon called the Necromancer attacked, hoping to feed off of the spirits of the Halliwell matriarchs. Penny was able to banish the Necromancer to the ghostly plane before he could do any harm, and the ceremony went ahead.

As she grew up, Patty was taught the craft by her mother, who would occasionally use a small spellbook to use magic on Patty whenever she got out of hand. But Patty, who was trained well in spellcraft, invented a spell to counter her mother's at the age of nine.

In 1967, Patty's father, Allen, was killed by her mother's best friend Robin on a night when she and warlock boyfriend Nigel planned to attack the manor. However, she was staying at her aunt Janice's home that night.

Presumably during her teenage years or just afterwards, Patty became a smoker and was addicted to cigarettes.

#### Meeting Victor

By early adulthood, thanks to her mother's guidance and the possible motivation by her father's death, Patty had matured into a powerful, intelligent, and extremely knowledgeable witch. Just like all the other Warren witches before her, she was a formidable foe of demons and warlocks, and wrote several entries in her family's Book of Shadows, such as the one on Barbas, the Demon of Fear, though the information was probably second-hand as it was highly unlikely she had ever encountered him. The Elders assigned her a whitelighter named Sam Wilder, who she grew very close to. At some point in the 1960s, Patty met a mortal businessman named Victor Bennett, whom she fell in love with, despite her mother's protests.

They soon married, though Penny never allowed Patty to change her last name to Bennett, and Patty didn't tell her husband that she, or her family, were witches. On October 28, 1970, she gave birth to a daughter, who she named "Prudence Halliwell" after the daughter of Melinda Warren, though she was nicknamed "Prue" for short. The three lived happily in the Halliwell Manor, while Penny moved out into another home, and Patty soon became pregnant again.

On August 7, 1973, Piper Halliwell was born. Shortly afterwards, Prue and Piper developed their powers; telekinesis and freezing respectively, and Patty was forced to, or chose to, tell Victor about her family heritage. He had a hard time coping with this revelation, and it put a great strain on their marriage.

While Penny was adamant that the girls should be raised as witches, Victor insisted they be raised as mortals to protect them from the forces of evil. Patty, who also wanted the girls to be witches, though with a normal life too, acted neutral towards both her mother and husband, wanting to "keep the peace". She also did not seem to want her daughters to be raised as dangerously as she was, and was irritated when Penny said she was going to teach the girls a new spell, wanting her to bake cookies like a normal grandmother.

She made a baby book for Piper, which was kept in a box with other baby stuff afterwards, and it is likely that she also had one for Prue. Patty and her mother protected the girls from many demons and warlocks during their early childhood. It was likely that because of a fight with a demon at some point is the reason she believed it was medically impossible for her to conceive another child.

#### Meeting Sam/ Having Paige.

Like Piper, Patty fell in love with her whitelighter, Sam. Eventually they ended up giving their baby, as the Power of Three would be disrupted if Paige had joined them. She was given to a nun and then adopted by the Matthews family.

#### Death

Patty tried to tackle a water demon on her own but was then killed by it, which drowned her in the water. Prue saw it firsthand and was traumatized for most of her life.

#### A Visit From The Future

Patty had a visit from her future daughter, Piper. Piper requested her help to to get rid of the hollow so it saves everyone.

#### As A Spirit

Patty, over the years, returns as a spirit to her family, for help or any special celebrations such as Chris' Wicanning and Piper's Wedding.

#### In 2030

Patty returns to help Peyton, her grandaughter, to realize the true potential of her projection powers and learn how to control it.
