## **Appearance**

P.J. is a perfect mix of both of her parents, though she dramatically changed her style after her parents died.

* **Hair:** PJ has long, thick and sandy brown hair worn in loose waves, and so much like her mother's hair. Ever since she was a little girl, PJ became obsessed with growing out her hair and leaving it long and to this day it is still the same length at it was, even despite her now wearing more updos.
* **Appearance:** In terms of appearance, is a very beautiful and gorgeous young woman, with her having blue green eyes, full lips, rosy cheeks and lightly tanned skin. She tends to go for light make-up and has her mother's height at 5'3" with a slim and petite frame and is said to look a lot like her Aunt Prue, her namesake. Though beautiful, PJ doesn't seem to see her own beauty very well much to her father's annoyance.
* **Wardrobe:** PJ usually tends to go with the innocence look, with her usually wearing white or pale colored dresses with some type of distinct patterns and stripes, though on meeting her cousins, she starts to wear darker shades as well as jeans, jackets and blouses and also makes use of her jewelry box with her wearing bracelets and necklaces but the one thing she always wears is a necklace with her name on it and a Wicca charm bracelet with the Triquettra on it.

## **Personality**

P.J. is described as a star student. She is popular, sporty, smart, compassionate, caring and friendly yet she can also be a bit selfish and pry into other people's lives such as her sister; Parker. Like her mother, she has a love for writing though a love of science soon takes over also like her mother, P.J. believes in family, honor and loyalty, and has shown to be calm and composed through prone to anxiety and panic. After the death of her parents, she pulls in on herself though lets go when with her family or her whitelighter Cal Lahey, with them being the only people she feels safe being herself with.

Though she enjoys music, and often uses it when she is feeling hurt, and especially when she accidentally uses her powers and when someone hurts her or anyone she cares about, she won't rest until she makes them pay. P.J. can be quite overconfident in her abilities, and it always frustrates her when she doesn't get or understand something. However she can be being slightly judgmental though like most of her family, firmly believes in the concepts of family, honor, loyalty and community with her willing to get involved in anything. P.J. is brave and self-sacrificing, though much of her willingness to save others seems to come from the fact that she's is a big sister, and loves her family. She has a strong back bone and never displays a sense of inferiority. She tends to be blunt and honest, as well as fiery and strong-willed.

 Being the oldest of her sisters, P.J. has a heightened sense of responsibility and protectiveness over them and all her close friends and family members. She also has a bossy streak in her, that she often portrays when around her younger sisters or cousins. Despite most of her personality, P.J. is very much similar her Aunt Piper which includes her love of cooking, her mix of potions and has also inherited the Halliwell stubbornness as well as the sarcasm, and protective nature. She also spends a lot of her time guiding her sisters and spending time with and helping her sisters and cousins.

Things seemed to get worse when their parents were killed causing Parker to go into a slight depression. On meeting their Aunt Prue, she says that their relationship is the same as Phoebe and hers was, and although the pair fight, they are still sisters, and always have one another's back with PJ willing to give up everything and anything in order to protect her sisters. Though PJ does wish that she had more of a chance to know her little sister, and who Parker will be.

Peyton is PJ's baby sister. Despite the near five year difference between the two, PJ and Peyton are very close, some saying that they are closer with one another than they are with their other sister, with Peyton often playing the role of middle child when the older two are fighting. From the moment that Peyton was born, PJ has said that she would always protect her, and has done with her powers of molecular combustion first appearing when a demon tried to attack Peyton when PJ was five. However like most sisters, they do have their moments.

After the death of their parents, PJ promised Peyton that she would make everything better, though for a few weeks it was she that was leaning on Peyton for support while she tried to be strong for the rest of the family. PJ and Peyton have a lot of things in common with one another with them both sharing a similar personality type and are the most supportive of one another. They often use their powers hand in hand, with Peyton often dampening PJ's empathy, and PJ taking a more active role in protecting Peyton due to her limited active powers.
