**The Charmed Ones** are a prophesied sisterhood of three (later four) witches who descend from the Warren line of witches. They are known as the most powerful witches ever to walk the Earth and are dedicated to protecting the innocent and ridding the world of evil.

Each Charmed One has one specific power inherited from their ancestor, Melinda Warren; the prophecy states that the eldest has the power to move things with her mind, the middle sister can freeze time, and the youngest can see into the future.

The magical bond between these sisters is known as *The Power of Three*, and is said to be the strongest form of magic in the world. It is represented by the ancient symbol called the Triquetra.

Although the prophecy speaks only of three sisters, there is a fourth one. After the death of Prue on May 17th, 2001, the Power of Three was temporarily broken before the Halliwells' long lost half-sister, Paige, was revealed. She received her powers and joined Piper, Phoebe, and Penelope, taking Prue's place in the Power of Three and reconstituting the Charmed Ones and making Penelope the fated one once again.

In 2028 a new set of Charmed Ones are born, Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda Halliwell become charmed. In 2051 the next set of Charmed Ones are of four being, Pierce, Patience, Prince, and Paisley Halliwell, having *The Power of Four*.

## History

### Melinda Warren's Prophecy

"*You can kill me, but you cannot kill my kind. With each generation, the Warren witches will grow stronger and stronger—until, at last, three sisters will arrive. Together, these three sisters will be the most powerful witches the world has ever known, they will defeat all kinds of evil. They will be known as The Charmed Ones.*"
—Melinda Warren's last words, before being burned at the stake.
The history of the Charmed Ones goes all the way back to their ancestor, Melinda Warren, a powerful witch who unfortunately lived in the era of the Salem Witch Trials. Melinda possessed all three original Charmed powers; the powers of Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization, and Premonition, and was one of the creator of the Warren/Anderson Book of Shadows.

When the warlock, Matthew Tate, exposed Melinda's secret to the villagers, she was burned at the stake. But shortly before her death, Melinda prophesied that each generation of the Warren line would grow stronger and stronger, finally culminating in the arrival of three sisters, which would be known as the Charmed Ones.

### The Arrival of the Sisters

"*Hear now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night, the oldest of Gods are invoked here, the great work of magic is sought. In this night and in this hour, I'll call upon the ancient power, bring your powers to we sisters three, we want the power, give us the power.*"
—The spell, which Phoebe cast, that invoked the Charmed Ones' powers.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe were born in between the years of 1970 and 1975. Due to a pact that their mother, Patty, was forced to make with a warlock named Nicholas, promising the girls' powers in exchange for their lives, their grandmother, Grams, cast a spell to bind their powers for protection and erased their memories of being witches.

In 1977, their mother had an affair with her Whitelighter, Sam Wilder, and conceived a child. Because it was forbidden for Whitelighters and witches to fall in love and have children, they were forced to give the baby up for adoption. They took her to a local church where a nun brought her to Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, who named her Paige. Patty died one year later.

In early 1998, Phoebe moved away from home shortly after their grandmother's passing. Six months later, she moved back in with Piper and Prue. That night, their family spirit board directed her up to the attic. By going upstairs, Phoebe finds her family's Book of Shadows and cast the spell on the first page, which unbound their powers, allowing them to become the Charmed Ones.

The sisters encountered countless manifestations of evil as they explored their origins. By vanquishing these dark forces, others came to realize the Charmed Ones had appeared, and slowly they developed a reputation of untold power and fabulous destiny. As their bond as sisters strengthened, so did the Power of Three. Eventually, the sisters not only developed magical strength, but also willpower and an unusually strong bond with one another, enabling them to stand united despite their very notable differences. The sisters met a brief strain in their bond when Penelope, their best friend fell in love with a demon named Cole Turner, also known as Belthazor, and faked his death to save him. When her best friends found out, Prue was the most upset, but came to forgive her gradually. They also came together for Piper when she fell in love with their Whitelighter, Leo Wyatt, whom eventually proved the transcendence of their love and reached for marriage.

### The Death of Prue Halliwell

"*I don't want to do this anymore, okay? It-It's over! You can tell them that we buried their precious Charmed Ones when we buried our sister.*"
—Piper to Leo.
No evil had managed to destroy the Charmed Ones until 2001, when the sisters accidentally used magic in public trying to protect a doctor and were caught on TV.

The Source of All Evil used the opportunity to kill the Charmed Ones by making Penelope willingly stay in the Underworld in exchange for the demon Tempus to rewind time to the moment before their magic was exposed. She agreed after finding out that Piper had been killed because of the madness that resulted from the exposure.

After time was rewound, Piper and Prue were forced to face the demonic assassin, Shax, on their own and were both sent through a wall. The Source sent an assassin after Penelope, but she managed to escape back to the Manor where their Whitelighter, Piper's husband, Leo, healed Piper. However, he did not succeed in saving Prue. Thus, the Power of Three was broken.

### Reconstituting the Charmed Ones

"*You have no idea what I found out. Turns out the Source doesn't think she's a Whitelighter at all. In fact, he thinks she might be another... Charmed One. That's why he put Shax on it. He thought he ended the Power of Three. Now he's worried that this girl may somehow reconstitute it.*"
—Cole Turner telling Leo, Piper, Phoebe, and Penelope that Paige might be another Charmed One

After many unsuccessful attempts to revive Prue, Piper desperately cast a spell to call a lost sister, which did not work. However, Prue's spirit changed the effects of the spell to locating Paige instead, after finding out that she might have the power to recreate the Charmed Ones. Paige found out about Prue's death and went to attend her funeral. While there, she spoke with Penelope, who had a premonition of her getting killed by Shax, the same demon that killed Prue.

Though they managed to chase him away, they also discovered that Paige had the power to orb, and later found out that she wasn't just a Whitelighter, but the long lost half-sister and god sister that they never knew they had. When the four of them joined hands, the Charmed Ones were re-established and Paige activated her Wiccan powers, and received the power to move objects with her mind.

    With Prue being dead, Paige's arrival repaired the broken Power of Three, reviving the Charmed Ones and their destiny. Since Prue had the power of telekinesis, Paige received this power as the replacement in the circle. The reconstituted Charmed Ones encountered many more manifestations of both good and evil, as well as endured many more losses, heartbreaks, and epic battles. In 2002, the sisters even fulfilled their first combined destiny by vanquishing the Source (albeit three separate times). After his third vanquish, their destiny became to protect and prepare the way for the next generation while also continuing to thin out the ranks of evil and save innocents. In 2003, Piper and her husband Leo conceived a magical child whom they named Wyatt Matthew Halliwell as well as Cole and Penelope who also conceived a magical child whom they named Paris Josette Turner before Leo became an Elder and separated from the family.

During this time, a mysterious Whitelighter, Chris, and Witch, Phoenix travels back from the future and becomes the Charmed Ones' new Whitelighter as well as pretending to be Phoenix's as well. In 2004, the sisters slowly learn Chris and Phoenix's true identities and their connection to the future that they're trying to change. Together, they manage to prevent Chris and Phoenix's future from occurring at the cost of Chris and Phoenix's own lives. On that same day, Piper gives birth to her and Leo's second child, who is really Chris himself. The next day Penelope gave birth to her and Cole's second daughter.

The rest of their journey took on near-death struggles and painful experiences as they had to deal with powerful foes and personal problems that almost cost them their lives, though they are also rewarded for their efforts. Leo becomes mortal again after the eventful times and is allowed to live out his life with his family. Phoebe finds out that she is meant to conceive a baby girl and begins to look forward to her future. Paige learns the joy of helping others as a Whitelighter and embraces her Whitelighter duties.

Between 2005 and 2006, the sisters suffer a new loss: Leo. After being told that a great battle is about to commence and Leo's death will motivate them, the sisters strike a deal with the Angel of Destiny—to keep him in a frozen state until they have prevailed. The sisters also accept a new witch apprentice, Billie Jenkins, who had long ago lost a sister of her own. Eventually the Charmed Ones find out that the Jenkins sisters are their new enemies and plot several strategies to destroy them. In the end, Billie sides with them again and end the battle with the destruction of the true evil behind the events: the Triad and Billie's sister, Christy. By this time, Paige marries a parole officer named Henry Mitchell and conceives twin girls, Tamora and Kat Mitchell, while adopting Henry Jr; Phoebe marries a Cupid named Coop, who was sent by the Elders to make up for her losses over the years, and together mothers PJ, Parker, and Peyton Halliwell; Piper and her husband Leo Wyatt conceive their only daughter, Melinda Halliwell; Penelope and her husband Cole Turner conceives their finale child, Promise Turner.
