**Piper Halliwell** is the second oldest Charmed One, younger sister of Prue, older sister of Phoebe and older maternal half-sister of Paige Matthews. She is the mother of Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda Halliwell. Piper is the second-born of Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett. She is also the wife of Leo Wyatt.

After the death of Prue, Piper is considered to be the most powerful of the three sisters. Her powers work through the manipulation of molecules: slowing them down to the point where things freeze, and speeding them up to either induce heat or cause explosions. Besides this, she possesses the basic powers of a wizard: casting spells, brewing potions, scrying for lost objects or people, and divining for information. Furthermore, Piper can access The Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones.

Piper works as a chef in her own restaurant, which she named *Halliwell's*, a nod to her family. She opened the restaurant in 2008 after closing down her nightclub, P3.

## History

### Early life

 File:LittlePiper.png  Piper was born on August 7, 1973, to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett. She was born with the power of Molecular Immobilization.

 File:Prue, Piper and Phoebe as children.jpg  Sometime during November 1975, Piper and her older sister Prue Halliwell welcomed their little sister Phoebe Halliwell into the world. After her birth, their grandmother, Penny, bound their powers in order to keep them safe from the magical world after them. To ensure their safety and a normal childhood, Penny erased all magic-related memories, causing them to forget about magic and their abilities.

In her teen years, Piper didn't quite know where she fit in; according to Prue, Piper also felt she was ordinary compared to her sisters, Prue and Phoebe. However, Grams reassured Piper that she was special, that she was kind and caring, and the best little helper Grams had.

Piper eventually graduated from Baker High School in 1992, and stayed home throughout her college career. Eventually, she graduated and became an accountant at a bank even though it was her desire to become a chef.

### Becoming a Charmed One

> Piper to her youngest sister, Phoebe, I've Got You Under My Skin

On October 7, 1998, Piper's youngest sister, Phoebe Halliwell returned from New York after spending six months there. On that night, Phoebe had cast a spell that reawakened the powers of the three sisters that were bound by their grams when they were young.

Both Prue and Piper did not believe Phoebe when she told them that they were wizards. However, soon after, Piper discovered that she had the power to *freeze time*, as she initially thought, (later revealed that her powers work through manipulating molecules) freezing Chef Moore during her job interview and believed her youngest sister.

 File:1x02-PiperScared.jpg  At first, Piper was confused and hated being a wizard. Not sure from where her powers came or if she was truly a good being, she tried to keep the magic down. However, she couldn't fully control her power and often froze the scene when she began to panic.

## Powers and Abilities

*Basic Powers** **Spell Casting:** The ability to cast spells and perform rituals.
* **Potion Brewing:** The ability to brew potions. This is considered Piper's specialty, due to her love and skill for cooking.
* **Scrying:** The ability to locate a person or object by the use of a scrying crystal, a map, and sometimes other tools.
* **Mediumship:** The ability to see and commune with spirits of the dead.
*Active Powers* File:PiperFreezesFrenchPhoebe.gif   File:379px-AdjustingManticore.jpg   File:Accelerating Pot.jpg  * **Molecular Manipulation:** The ability to manipulate matter on a molecular level. More specifically Piper can reduce or increase molecular speed.
	+ **Molecular Immobilization:** The ability to slow down molecules to the point that they freeze. This power works on almost all objects and beings, except certain upper-level demons such as the Triad, and other good witches. This is Piper's primary power which she channels through her hands.
	+ **Molecular Combustion:** The ability to speed up molecules to the point that they explode. This power advanced so much that she is able to destroy upper-level demons. It is considered Piper's strongest and most frequently used power.
		- **Deviation:** The ability to manipulate your current magical power to deflect energies back in the direction it came from that are thrown in the targeted direction of the deviator. Piper is capable of this through the use of her molecular combustion power.
		- **Molecular Acceleration**: The ability to reverberate molecules at a speed which causes them to rapidly heat up and sometimes become disordered; this can often result in either melting or ignition. Piper gained this ability in 2008 when she wanted to blow up the Source of All Evil in the form of a Golem.
*Other Powers** **The Power of Three:** The collective power of Piper and her sisters which enhances their powers.
	+ **High Resistance:** The ability to be highly resistant to physical and magical harm, surviving otherwise lethal attacks.
