Phoebe Halliwell

Charmed info in this page has to be credited to Charmed Wiki. Please visit them for a complete version of Phoebe's history.

**Phoebe Halliwell** is the middle sister of the Charmed Ones following the death of her oldest sister, Prue and the discovery of her younger half-sister, Paige. She is the wife of a Cupid named Coop and the mother of their children, P.J., Parker, and Brianna Halliwell. She is also the mother of Pip Muniz-Halliwell and this is because she had an affair with Clay Muniz in 1998, that led to Pip's birth. She was once pregnant with and (assumed she) lost a son while she was married to her ex-husband Cole Turner. In The Sins of the Parents, it was revealed that the son, Colvin Turner-Gordon, was still alive and was also the Source.

Phoebe was often considered the weakest of the Charmed Ones by demons due to her primary powers being more inclined to be passive than active. However, she consistently proved them wrong with her formidable martial-arts skills and her remarkable spell-casting talent.

Her Wiccan powers gradually evolved, coming to include dangerously offensive aspects that could match those of her sisters: Premonition, Levitation, and Empathy. Besides this, Phoebe possesses the basic powers of a witch: the ability to cast spells (*which is her specialty*), brew potions, scry for lost objects and people, and divine for pieces of information. Last but not least, Phoebe could access The Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones.

Phoebe is a famous columnist, and was occasionally a reporter at The Bay Mirror. Now she owns the Bay Mirror after being elected by her co-workers when the previous owner got caught in a scandal. She had also been editor-in-chief when her former boss, *Elise Rothman*, retired.

Phoebe is a member of the Halliwell and Warren Family.

* **Agility:** Defined as moving quickly and easily from one motion to another. She acquired this skill through intense combat training, which was later enhanced because of her levitation power.

## Personality

In the beginning of *Charmed*, 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, though it often put her at odds with her oldest sister, Prue, who once confessed that she had always admired Phoebe's confidence and courage, but also saw her as utterly irresponsible because of those traits.

One constant feature about Phoebe would be her creative mind as well as her excellent memory, which led her to become the best spell-caster out of the four sisters. She is also quick-witted and resourceful, even knowing how to pick locks and pockets, and change the tires of a car. Piper even once commented that she would never have the kind of *"street-smarts"* that Phoebe possessed.

However, as the only Charmed One to be born in Halliwell Manor (above the Nexus), Phoebe was also more susceptible to being influenced by evil than others. This susceptibility, coupled with her impulsiveness, once led her into becoming the Queen of the Underworld, and though she ultimately returned to the Charmed fold, it still left her with emotional scars that never truly healed even after she was forced to vanquish Cole.

As a psychic, she is often sensitive and compassionate towards others and thanks to her degree in psychology as well as her powers, she gives very sound advice both to her sisters and readers. She is sometimes compared to her Grams in personality.

She's also fiercely loyal to the people that she loves, a Warren trait.

## Professional Life

Phoebe is still an advice columnist for the Bay Mirror, but not does she work there-she owns it. This is due to a scandal in which the previous owner was involved. Phoebe was editor-in-chief for a bit after her best friend *Elise Rothman* retired. Her advice column has caused two clubs at Baker High School to form, one solely dedicated to her column and the other dedicated to just her.

Phoebe is also an alumni of Baker High School. The life choices she chose at Baker, made a hatred for herself with Miss Hickock, a teacher. And that has been passed to her son, unintentionally.
