Prue Halliwell

**Prudence Charlotte Halliwell** is the first daughter born to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett.

## History

Background
Prudence Charlotte Halliwell was born to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett on October 15, 1978 at San Francisco General Hospital. She is the older sister to  Piper  and Phoebe Halliwell, as well as Paige Matthews through her mother's affair with Sam Wilder.

Prue, Piper, and Phoebe's powers were bound the summer of 1989 by Patty to protect the girls from harm. Patty raised them as human sisters without any magic or any knowledge of magic in Los Angeles, California. Away from all the magical chaos in San Franscisco where her mother lived and where she grew up.

After Patty's death on October 31, 1995 Prue along with Piper and Phoebe were raised by there grandmother, Penny Halliwell. Since Victor abandoned them becuase of them being Witches seven years prior.

Life as a Halliwell
* 1984
* 1995

Not long before Patty took her daughters and left San Francisco, Prue heard the devil's chord, which is a mixture of notes used to attract and capture supernatural children. She found herself in the playground where the Nothing resided. Her father, Victor went to check on Prue and noticed she's not in her bed anymore, he ran outside frightened and saw a van, thus, making him think something bad had happened. He opened the door and found himself in the playground as well. He was able to find Prue and return her safely back.

She formerly had a good relationship with her father, Victor Bennett. However, continuous heated arguments between her father, mother, and maternal grandmother resulted in him leaving the family, which also caused Prue to resent him bitterly.

During her high school years, Prue was a very popular student. She was the president of the student council and the head cheerleader in her squad.

At the age of sixteen, the boy Prue thought she was in love with attacked her incurring the wrath of an indignant Grams. Unknown to her Patty had used witchcraft to deal with him as the boy was never seen again afterwards.
## Personality

As the oldest sister, Prue saw herself as the maternal figure of the household, especially after her mother died. Conservative, cautious, determined, and with a dislike for surprises, she is slow to trust people, which resulted in her relationship with Phoebe often being a tumultuous one. In fact, it was always up to Piper to mediate between Prue and Phoebe.

Prue was also the type of person to hold onto grudges for a long time: for many years, she refused to forgive her father for leaving her and her sisters when they were young.

She is very protective of her sisters. She is willing to do anything to protect them, even it means putting herself in harm's way, or harming innocents with her powers.

## Physical Appearance

As a child Prue had shoulder length dakrk brown-almost black hair with bangs. Dull blue eyes from witnessing all the fighting surounding the adults in her life, and a pale complection.

As a teenager, Prue has long dyed medium brown hair, the same color as her mother except Prue has bangs. Like her father she shared his green eyes and lighter skin complection. After her mothers death she began to dress differently. Going for more revealing clothing as she acted out.

## Weaknesses

Prue has all the weaknesses of a typical Witch.

* **Disbelief:** The act of denying or disbelieving in one's potential could cause a witch to inadvertently suppress their magical power.
* **Distraction:** Denying a witch from concentrating or giving full attention to their spells, may render them ineffective. Since most spells are spoken verbally and take time to take effect, witches are vulnerable to attack before their completion.
* **Emotions:** A witch's magic is subject to the influence of their emotional state and may fluctuate according to them when untrained.
* **Herbs:** Ingestion of certain herbs can cause a witch to lose consciousness and prevent them from using magic for an undetermined amount of time.
* **Iron Sulphate:** A substance used to suppress the magic of witches
* **Magic:** Witches are still susceptible to the powers of witchcraft.
* **Malleus Maleficarum:** A sigil that renders a witch, whether using White or dark magic, powerless so long as they remain within it.
* **Mortality:** Despite their mystical attributes, witches are still human and share many of the same weaknesses as non-supernatural beings (e.g. age, decapitation, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, snapped neck, etc.).
* **Nature:** It is said that nature will always find a balance when witchcraft is performed and spells will always have loopholes. This means, among other things, that no being can be truly immortal.
* **Overexertion:** The excessive use of magic could lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death.
* **Witch Elimination**: Magically enchanted bottles. When a bit of the witch's blood, a personal item, and some mandrake root are placed within and lit on fire, the witch will die instantly.
