Melinda Halliwell

* Adult
* Young

**Melinda Prudence Halliwell** is the youngest child and only daughter of Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt. She is named after her powerful ancestor Melinda Warren who began the Charmed legacy. She is the younger sister to Wyatt and Chris Halliwell, she is also the wife to Markus Smith, and mother to Macy, Mel, and Maggie Halliwell.

Melinda was often considered the weakest of the Charmed Ones due to her primary powers being more inclined to be passive than active. However, she consistently proved them wrong with her formidable fighting skills and her remarkable spell-casting and potion-making talent. Her Wiccan powers grow daily as she posses the power of Premonition, Empathy, Psychic Reflection, and Levitation. Besides this, she possesses the basic powers of a witch: casting spells, brewing potions, scrying for lost objects or people, and divining for information. Melinda had access to The Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones.

## History

### Pre-Birth and Birth

In 1999, when Piper and her sisters visited the future, in the year 2009, she meets her and Leo's only child, a daughter, named Melinda.

In 2002, when Piper became pregnant, the family assumed that the child would be a girl as was the rest of the Halliwell clan and Piper prepared to name her Prudence Melinda, in honor of her late older sister, Prue, and her ancestor, Melinda Warren. However, the child turned out to be a boy, Wyatt.

Piper found out she was pregnant with their third and final child in mid-2006, a little after the Charmed Ones' last Battle, resulting in her birth in early 2007.
