**Penelope "Penny" Halliwell (née Johnson)** more commonly known as *Grams*, is the daughter of Paula Baxter and Gordon Johnson. She is the granddaughter to Philippa Baxter. She was married four times, the most significant of which being to Allen Halliwell, with whom she had her only daughter, Patty Halliwell. Through Patty, Penny was the maternal grandmother of the Charmed Ones.

As a descendant of Melinda Warren, Penny inherited the power of telekinesis, and was one of the most powerful and Craft-dedicated witches of the Warren line.

She was also responsible for the creation of many spells and potions in the Book of Shadows. She raised her granddaughters and Penelope after their mother's death, and became a guardian spirit of sorts to them after her own passing, providing good advice and even the occasional direct assistance when necessary.

## Powers and Abilities

***Basic Powers***

* **Spell Casting:** The ability to cast spells and perform rituals. Penny was noted to be particularly skillful in this fundamental ability - during her years of raising her daughter and granddaughters, she invented spells to discipline them when they got out of hand, and was also responsible for creating many spells in the Book of Shadows.
* **Potion Brewing:** The ability to brew potions. Penny was noted to be a particularly gifted potioneer, perhaps the very best one out of the Warren line—she crafted a great many potion recipes in the Book of Shadows.
* **Scrying:** The ability to locate a person or object by the use of a scrying crystal, a map, and sometimes other tools.
* **Mediumship:** The ability to see and commune with spirits of the dead.

***Active Powers***

* **Telekinesis:** The ability to move objects and beings with the power of one's mind alone. Penny's telekinetic power dramatically surpassed even that of Prue's during her early years as a Charmed One—in 1975, when the Charmed Ones visited the past, Penny mistook them for warlocks and repelled them through an intricate path out to the porch, and also used it to undo Piper's "freeze" on Andy. During Piper's and Leo's wedding, she used it to play "Pachelbel's Canon" on wind chimes, and in later instances, she was shown using it to send her opponents flying great distances with dramatic impacts, all of which testify to her formidable strength and expert skill as a potent telekinetic witch.

***Other Powers***

* **High Resistance:** As an upper-level witch, Penny is highly resistant to lethal powers such as fireballs.

***Spirit Powers***

* **Wisping:** As a ghost, Penny possessed the power to teleport through white-lights. This power, much like orbing, surrounded her in swirling white orbs until she vanishes and appears elsewhere.
* **Summoning:** The ability to draw or transport another dead being from the afterlife.
* **Spirit Writing:** Penny once wrote a message to Prue, Piper, and Phoebe on the Book of Shadows, wishing them "Happy Anniversary" on their first year as witches.
* **Invisibility:** As a spirit, Penny was naturally invisible to the naked eye.
* **Intangibility:** As a spirit, Penny was intangible and could pass through objects.
* **Voice Echo:** Penny could project her voice to the living from the spiritual plane.
