***“I have known you your entire life, there is not a mean bone in your body.” - Piper***

Phoebe Halliwell, an exceptionally powerful witch, was born into the Warren line of witches and is one of the original Charmed Ones. Phoebe is the youngest daughter of a Mortal father (Victor Bennett) and the second-youngest daughter of a Witch mother (the late Patty Halliwell). She is the younger sister of the late Pruedence Halliwell and Piper Halliwell, and she is the older half sister of Paige Matthews. Phoebe is engaged to married to Cupid Coop and was once pregnant with the son of her first husband, Cole Turner; however, she tragically lost her child when the seer magical removed him from her womb and placed him in her own. She is also the loving aunt of Piper’s sons: Wyatt and Christopher Halliwell, and she wants her own child more than anything. Phoebe has dark hair and deep brown eyes, and she writes a popular advice column for the newspaper called “Ask Phoebe.”

In the beginning of the show, Phoebe was first introduced as a free-spirited, rebellious, and open-minded young woman who helped her older sisters embrace their Charmed destiny. She was also unafraid to try new things and dared to be different from the vast majority of others. One constant feature about Phoebe would be her creative mind as well as her excellent memory, which led her to become the best spellcaster out of the four sisters. She is also quick-witted and resourceful. Phoebe is sensitive and compassionate towards others and is capable of giving sound advice to her sisters and, later, the readers of her column as well.

## Magic

### Childhood

***“Your road's been the longest, Phoebe. But I was never worried about you. You know why? Because I had a premonition the day you were born.” - Patty***

On March 24th, 1975, Phoebe's birth power of premonition manifested itself through her mother while still in the womb, granting Patty a vision of the future. Following this event, the unborn Phoebe combined her magic with her two older sisters, Prue and Piper, to use the Power of Three to send their future selves back to their time.

After she was born, her maternal grandmother, Penny, bound her powers and erased all her magic-related memories, along with her sisters' powers and memories, in order to keep her safe from the warlock Nicholas, who was promised their powers in a pact.

At the age of ten, Phoebe was transported to the year 2002 by a spell cast by her future self, where she met two older versions of herself as well as those of her sisters Piper and Paige. She was taken to the Heavens by her Whitelighter, Leo, for safety. After she helped her older self listen to her heart about marrying Cole, she returned to her own time, where Grams quickly erased her memory of the time travel.

### Discovering her powers

***“According to the Book of Shadows, one of our ancestors was a witch named Melinda Warren.”***

On October 7, 1998, Phoebe returned from New York after spending six months there following the death of her Grams. On that night, while playing with the spirit board with Piper, the pointer suddenly moved on its own, spelling out the word "attic." To find out more about it, she went up to the attic where she found the Book of Shadows. Phoebe then cast the Dominus Trinus, which reawakened the powers of the three sisters that were previously bound by their Grams when they were children.

The next day, she received her first premonition—two teenagers getting hit by a car—which allowed her to prevent the accident, though it came at the cost of her being injured. Both Prue and Piper initially did not believe her when she told them that they were the Charmed Ones, but they were forced to acknowledge it as the truth when they each manifested their own powers. Later, all three sisters managed to tap into the Power of Three and vanquished Jeremy.

Unlike her sisters, Phoebe embraced her destiny as a Charmed One with open arms and convinced them to embrace their magic as well. With the help of their magical destiny, she and Prue were finally able to heal the rift that stemmed from their dramatic differences.

### The Ultimate Battle

When Phoebe found out that Billie Jenkins was (part of) the "Ultimate Power," she was reluctant to vanquish her, which lead to a disagreement with Piper, until a spell was cast on her because of Billie. Left with no choice but to fight, the sisters acquired the Hollow to became strong enough to destroy Billie and Christy and the evil Triad. The powers from the Hollow, however, led to the destruction of the Manor, which killed Phoebe and Paige in the explosion.

Coop was devastated when he learned of Phoebe's death and gave a bereaved Piper his ring so that she could travel back in time to save both her sisters. Piper and Leo then used the ring to travel back to the past and enlisted the help of Patty and Grams.

Piper, Patty, Leo, and Grams then traveled to 2006, arriving right on the moment that, the Charmed Ones and the Jenkins' started to battle. Piper, Patty, and Penny stopped the final battle from happening by sending the Hollow back to its resting place. Phoebe and Paige are saved, alive again. Time then adjusted itself to its new future. Not long after, the Charmed Ones killed the Triad and came out victorious.

### The return of Demons

In August of 2006, an unspecified demon broke into the manor to attack Wyatt, who was playing in the living room with his younger brother. A loud crash caught Leo and Piper’s attention, and Piper sent Leo to investigate, thinking it was Wyatt having a mishap with his powers. Wyatt activated his shield to protecting himself and Chris, and Leo was hurled across the room by the demo in front of the boys. This caught Piper’s attention, and she intentionally threw a frying pan and spatula at the demon, confusing him, but then used her powers to blow him up. Shaken up, Piper gathered her family for an emergency meeting, stating they had become too comfortable with their demon-free lives. Piper remained on edge, becoming more protective of the boys, but the magical community remained quiet for a while.

## Family

### Loved and lost

**“He was never mine, he was the source.” - Phoebe about her son.**

Unfortunately for her, when she was only two, Phoebe's mother was killed by the Water Demon. As a result, Phoebe never really knew her mother, and this loss ultimately had a significant impact on her and her sisters' lives, to the extent that she once confessed that if she had one wish to be granted, she would ask for time alone with her mother. Less than a year later, her father walked out of her life, but she reconnected with him as an adult. In her twenties, Phoebe became pregnant while married to her first husband, Cole Turner. However, the baby was more of a host of evil rather than a child. Still, after losing her son, Phoebe grieved the loss. Phoebe then lost her older sister, Prue, and attended her funeral alongside her sisters and father.

### Failed marriage and losing her baby

**“I do love you...and I always will. But it doesn't change anything. It doesn't matter. It's over between us.” - Phoebe to Cole**

When it came to Phoebe's love life, it was a trail of broken hearts. Years before meeting her husband, Coop, Phoebe married the first love of her life, a demon named Cole, and ended up pregnant with a son. However, a magical being called the Seer magically removed the baby from Phoebe's womb and placed it in her own, attempting to tap into the baby's powers, but the baby's powers were too much for her to handle, and she exploded, killing herself and the unborn child. Phoebe was devastated by the loss of her first child—more than she let on. Her marriage to Cole was a complete mess. He became the source (by no choice), making Phoebe the queen of the underworld. Although she seemed to enjoy the role, it forced her to choose between her husband and her own sisters. In the end, she chose her sisters. The marriage ended in divorce, but Cole never got over Phoebe until he was finally vanquished by her and her sisters.

### Finding her true love

**“For though I've loved before, I've never really known love, until I met Coop”**

Phoebe moved out of the manor and got her own apartment in the city. Soon after, she met Coop, who turned out to be a Cupid that was sent by the Elders to help her find her true love. Phoebe at first, disliked Coop and was annoyed and irritated that the Elders would think she needed help to find love, but Coop knew that she was just scared because of all her previous heartbreaks and disappointments and reassured her that her future daughter was destined.

Over time, she grew to trust Coop and sought his advice on both magical and family matters. However, Phoebe's continuing reluctance and Coop's persistence led to them challenging, amusing, and exciting each other. Over time, little by little, they began to develop feelings for each other but hid them to save themselves from the trauma Piper and Leo went through. Phoebe finally told Coop that it was him she wanted and the two ignited their romance with a passionate kiss.

Even though they both believed that their love was forbidden, Coop still insisted that they could have a life together and was willing to fight for them. However, while Phoebe loved him, she was afraid of getting hurt. Coop was hurt, but he stuck by her and continued to support her during magical affairs. Soon afterward, Phoebe found out that the Elders actually sent Coop to her, in the hopes that she would fall in love with him. Delighted, Phoebe and Coop were finally able to embrace the love for each other.

Coop and Phoebe married at Halliwell Manor on November second 2006. Grams performed the wedding while Phoebe’s sisters shared the role of Maid of Honor, and Phoebe’s brothers-in-law shared the role of Best Man. Wyatt and Chris shared the role of the ring bearer. Other guests included Patty, Elise, Darryl and Sheila. Along with Andy and Billie, who were both last-minute guests. Piper was furious that Phoebe wanted Billie at the wedding, but Phoebe insisted on having her there. Despite her objections, Piper chose to support Phoebe’s wishes and gave Billie the invitation personally on the morning of the wedding. She also gifted her the dress she’d worn to Paige’s wedding, figuring Billie might not have anything to wear on such short notice. Piper thought of inviting Andy based on a comment Prue made. It was a beautiful ceremony.

### Meeting Paige

**"Paige, you're my baby sister, not my baby sitter."**

At her sister's funeral, she met a woman named Paige Matthews, and when they shook hands, she had a premonition that Paige would be killed by Shax, the same demon who killed Prue. With Piper too overwhelmed with grief to help, she decided to team up with Cole so they could save Paige. With Cole's investigation, they found out that she was a potential Charmed One who may be able to reconstitute the Power of Three. They then interrogated Grams and Patty and found out that Paige was their younger half-sister, who was given up at birth for protection. Paige then arrived at the house and shook hands with her older half-sisters, and the Power of Three was then recreated.

### Reuniting with Prue

**"You'll say hi to Grams and Mom for us, won't you?"**

Phoebe was reunited with her late sister for the first time in July 2006, after Paige begged Grams to allow Prue to visit on behalf of Leo who was concerned about Piper. It was an emotional reunion, and Phoebe was the last to know about the visit, hearing her voice from the hallway just as her sisters were about to go get her. She ran into the room, throwing her arms around Prue. During the hour-long visit, Phoebe announced her upcoming wedding, revealed she got the house she had put an offer on, and Prue hinted to Piper that phoebe would soon be pregnant.

### Journey to motherhood

**“You were promised something, something that means the world to you.”**

The loss of her unborn son later caused Phoebe to become overly attached to her newborn nephew, Wyatt. There was nothing in this world that Phoebe wanted more than to be a mother. At one point, Phoebe considered insemination, but changed her mind when she realized she wanted love first. As time went on, she began to doubt that she would ever have a child of her own, especially after a premonition showed her having a child in a future that did not end up happening. However, after receiving a premonition of the same child in a different future, Phoebe became hopeful again. However, Phoebe still held some jealousy toward Piper when she became pregnant with her third child, and she was then jealous of Paige’s pregnancy. She was able to overcome this by reminding herself that she no longer had to fear she’d never get to have a child now that she had Coop.
