**Paige Matthews** was the youngest Charmed One, younger maternal half-sister of Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell. She's also the god sister of Penelope Anderson.

Paige is the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, and the biological daughter of Patty Halliwell and Sam Wilder.

Paige was left at a local church shortly after her birth, by her bio parents, subsequently adopted by her parents. She met her maternal half-sisters, Piper and Phoebe and her god sister Penelope, in 2001 after the death of her eldest half-sister Prue.

As the daughter of a Witch and a Whitelighter, Paige is the Charmed One with the second most powers as Penelope is the first. Despite being the youngest and last sister to come into her Charmed legacy.

Her powers include telekinetic orbing, orbing, and healing. Additionally, she also possesses the basic powers of a witch: The ability to cast spells, brew potions, scry for lost objects or people, and divine for information, along with other typical Whitelighter-powers. Paige had access to The Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones.

## History

### Early Life

Paige was born on August 2, 1977, to Patty Halliwell. Unlike the first three daughters Patty had with her mortal husband Victor Bennett, Paige was fathered by Patty's Whitelighter, Sam Wilder. Also unlike her sisters, Paige was born with an inactive Wiccan gene due to the prophecy of the Charmed Ones only consisting of three sisters, with three distinctive powers. Patty initially wanted to keep the baby and raise her along with Prue, Piper, and Phoebe, however, in those days, it was not only forbidden but unthinkable for a witch and a Whitelighter to be romantically involved. By this time, Patty, her mother, Penny, and Poppy had known for at least two years that Patty's daughters were destined to become the Charmed Ones; witches destined to be bestowed with great power and the duty to protect the innocent. Penny feared that the Elders would deny the girls their birthright if they ever found out about Patty and Sam's affair. Patty and Sam decided to give the baby up for adoption.

The day Paige was born, Patty and Sam orbed to a local church and left her with a nun called Sister Agnes. They asked that she would find her a good home. Additionally, Patty had one more request for people who would adopt her, that her name started with a *P*.

Not long after, Patty was killed by the Water Demon. This gave her a chance to look over Paige for the first time. Patty noticed that her wishes were granted, Paige was being raised in a good home by the Matthews.

Paige was given a normal life by her adopted parents. At one point in her life, she met Philip Lewicky who gave her a bracelet and became her first love. In her eighth grade graduation, Paige was supposed to sing the school song in front of eight hundred people, when the time arrived, Paige froze, ran out, and missed her own graduation, it turned out to be the worst day of her life all her friends laughed at her and a guy named Bobby Maynard dumped her. But when Paige came into her teens, she started to hang out with the wrong friends and began drinking, smoking, skipping classes, and disobeying her parents.

At some point during her rebellious stage, Paige was drinking with her friends and got behind the wheel while drunk, getting in a car accident.

### The Death of Mr. and Mrs. Matthews

Around the age of seventeen, Paige's adoptive parents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, were killed in a terrible car accident. From what she could remember, they didn't see the car that swerved into their lane. Paige survives, suddenly waking up on the pavement seeing the car totaled and on fire. It would be revealed to Paige after she became a witch that she had subconsciously orbed out of the car. After the death of her parents, Paige changed her attitude drastically; she stopped smoking and drinking, and also started to study harder. She was accepted to UC Berkeley for good grades and a well-written essay on the death of her parents. She later graduated with a degree in social work.

### Meeting Piper, Phoebe, and Penelope

One year before the death of Prue Halliwell, Paige started to go to P3 as she felt a connection to the Halliwells. Then Paige met Penelope at the funeral of Prue where Penelope had a vision of Shax killing Paige. Penelope and her boyfriend Cole Turner went to check on Paige, trying to save her from Shax. When he attacked, Penelope and Cole saw Paige orbing. After they rescued her they told Piper who summoned Penny and Patty immediately. They explained Paige was their half-sister. Paige then arrived and met with her half-sisters and god sister at their home. Upon shaking hands with Piper (with Penelope clutching to Paige's arm and Phoebe holding Penelope's free arm), the chandelier above them began to glow and shine a blue light just like it did before when Phoebe reawakened the powers of herself and her sisters.

Shortly after that moment, Shax came bursting in through the front doors and knocked the sisters away. Piper, Phoebe, and Penelope grabbed Paige and ran upstairs while Leo distracted Shax.

In the attic, Piper, Phoebe, and Penelope ordered Paige to cast the vanquishing spell with them and thus revealed she was a witch. Paige did what her sisters and god sister told her to do and saw to her amazement how the monster in front of her eyes blew up.

Shocked and in disbelief, Paige ran off to her boyfriend Shane, who was at the hospital.
