**“A lot has happened to me in the past year and a half. I've seen… I've seen things I never imagined existed and it's changed me. It's made me wanna make changes.”**

Prudence (Prue) Halliwell, an exceptionally powerful witch, was born into the Warren line of witches and is one of the original Charmed Ones. Prue was the oldest child of a Mortal father (Victor Bennett) and a Witch mother (Patty Halliwell). She has three younger sisters: Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige; Paige being her half sister as they have different fathers. She also has two nephews: Wyatt and Chris Halliwell.

Prue was raised as a witch until she was five, when her grandmother was forced to bind her powers and erase her memory of magic to keep her safe. Prue lost her mother when she was seven and witnessed her mother’s corpse get taken away, and she was then abandoned by her father less than a year later. She was then raised by her maternal grandmother. She was once engaged to a mortal man but broke off the engagement when she thought Phoebe had made a move on him, though it turned out he had made the move on Phoebe, which Phoebe rejected. She also had an on-and-off relationship with her childhood friend Andy. Prue died in 1998 when both she and Piper were fatally injured battling against the demon Shax.

## **Death**

**“This whole year has just been a series of tests, right? To see what we're made of. Well, maybe this is one more test.” - Prue**

Prue died on the seventeenth of May in 2001. Time is reversed back to Prue and Piper taking Dr. Griffiths to the Manor. Shax whirls in once again and attacks Prue, blasting her through a wall. Piper runs after her sister and gets severely wounded. Unfortunately, because Phoebe was stuck in the Underworld, she couldn't say the spell to temporarily defeat Shax as she had done before. Shax fires at Dr. Griffiths, throwing him at the window. He smiles as he has completed his task. Shax then whirls out of the manor, slamming the Manor doors and shattering the glass; symbolizing the end of the Power of Three. By the time that Phoebe and Leo arrived back at the manor, Prue had already died from blood loss and her sustained injuries, though Leo was able to heal Piper.

### Visits

**“I’m at peace, Piper. You don’t have to worry about me.”**

After her death, Grams wouldn't allow Piper and Phoebe to see her, insisting they weren't ready yet. She wasn't seen again throughout the remainder of the show. In July of 2006, Piper was once again struggling with Prue’s death after the final battle, and her third pregnancy reminded her of how much time had passed since Prue’s death and how much she had missed out on. After Leo found her recklessly hunting something in the middle of the night, and after Wyatt started being affected by Piper’s grief, Leo decided to intervene. He asked Paige to summon Grams and beg for Prue to come visit. Grams allowed it and gave Prue an hour to spend with her sisters. It was an emotional reunion that allowed Prue to meet her sister Paige, her nephews Wyatt and Chris, and tell Piper that she was at peace.

### **Loved and lost**

**“Andy died because of me, it doesn't matter what he said, it was my fault. How could it be good to be witches if all it does is get the people we love killed?”**

When she was 7 and a half, Prue witnessed her mother's corpse get taken away after the Water Demon killed her. This transpired to be a crushing sadness for her to bear, causing a dramatic influence on her psyche: from that day on, she was not able to say "I love you" to anyone, as it was the last thing she ever said to her mother. Less than a year later, her father walked out of her, unable to accept magic, but re-entered her life when she was an adult. Prue also lost her grandmother sometime in her mid-late twenties.

In 1999, her ex-boyfriend and best friend, Andy Trudeau, died after being hit by an energy ball by the demon Rodriguez. The force of the attack killed him instantly. Moments before Andy's death, Prue was knocked out when Piper pushed her out of the way of an incoming energy ball. She loses consciousness and finds herself in the Ghostly Plane, with Andy by her side. Andy explains to her that his death was one they couldn't stop and had to accept his death. Prue didn't want him to leave her, but Andy knew Prue would be all right. They say their goodbyes, and he kisses Prue for the last time. Andy then fades out, and Prue watches on and cries.

Prue wants to give up her powers once and for all. She then seeks solace in Darryl, Andy's partner at the police department. Darryl told Prue that he wanted him to give her a message from him. That morning, after he saw her, Andy told him to tell her that if anything were to happen to him, that it wouldn't be her fault. He didn't want her to blame herself.
