"Paige saved us, she brought this family back together"

- Piper talking about Paige.

Paige Matthews is the youngest sister of the Charmed Ones. She is the wife of Henry Mitchell and is the mother of their three children; Tamora, Kat, and Henry Mitchell Junior.

Early Life
"So, that's why we had to - why we decided... to give the baby up. Sam and I took her to a local church as soon as she was born. And we asked the nun there to find a home for her, and she found one. A very, very good home."

- Patty to Piper and Phoebe, on how she and Sam left Paige.

Paige was born on August 2nd, 1977 to Patty Halliwell and Sam Wilder, Patty's Whitelighter. Since whitelighters and witches were forbidden to fall in love with each other, the two had to keep the birth a secret. Patty had only told her mother, Penny who helped them keep the secret.

24 years later, Patty explained two her daughters, Piper and Phoebe, that she had orbed with Sam to a local church and left her to a nun called Sister Agnes. They asked that she would find her a good home and only had one request; that her name began 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.

But when Paige came into her teens, she started to hang out with the wrong friends. She started drinking, smoking, and skipping classes.

Paige's Inferiority Complex towards Prue


Throughout, 2002 to 2003, Paige had a slight inferiority complex towards Prue. Paige was jealous by the fact that Prue was this powerful witch with a full time job, but Paige who quit her job in September 2002 hadn't quite mastered the skills Prue had.

When Barbas, the Demon of Fear attacked the Charmed Ones, he used that as her fear to taunt her. She was also disappointed that she hadn't mastered Prue's Animal Conjuring Spell which added to her fear. Over-all, Paige was able to overcome it once and for all, when he attacked them.

The potion originally meant to vanquish him was knocked back and smashed on the floor. Phoebe told her to orb the potion onto him, like Prue did using Telekinesis. Although, at first she didn't think it would work, she proceeded to do it and it vanquished him. Later that night, Paige finally masters Prue's Animal Conjuring spell by conjuring doves.

The Birth of Tamora and Kat Mitchell
"But still making time to help me with little Henry and the twins."

- Paige mentioning the twins in her entry.

Some time after the Ultimate Battle, Paige and Henry got pregnant of twin girls. Not much else is known, besides the fact that they named them Tamora and Kat

Later Life
"Which allowed me time to finally embrace my inner whitelighter. And to help the next generation of witches come into their own."

- Extract from Paige's entry in the Book of Shadows.

Paige continued to live her life as fulltime Whitelighter, protecting future Whitelighters from Darklighters. She continued to live a happy life with her husband, Henry and their three children.

The magical lives of Paige and her sisters as the Charmed Ones, is written in the history books of Magic School as well as their own Book of Shadows.

Henry Mitchell
A year later when Paige was trying to protect a future whitelighter, she met Henry Mitchell, the parole officer of her charge. Initially, they had a rough start, but learned to overcome their problems overtime. Henry later located a baby named Ramon and handed him into Paige's care while trying to locate the father. In part of the truth, he was using the opportunity to meet Paige again. Eventually, they begin to fall in love, and Paige used her Whitelighter healing powers, for the first time by herself, to save Henry from a gunshot wound. This is triggered by her love for Henry and her job as a whitelighter. Paige finally worked up the courage and told Henry that she is a witch. Henry accepted it very quickly, as he asked Paige to marry him and Paige accepted. A male witch named Sir Simon Marks says that Paige is destined to marry him, but Paige refuses and says that she is in love with Henry. Simon and Henry fought for Paige, and Henry won. Soon after, Paige and Henry were married. Their marriage brought them a son named Henry Jr. and twin daughters. This flashforward of the Charmed Ones' lives ends Piper Halliwell and the Charmed Ones' story.

In Glen's second appearance in the series (Trial by Magic) he stumbled upon the Book of Shadows, after which Paige shared the Charmed Ones' secret with him and cast a spell to stretch his imagination, which backfired causing Glen to become elasticized. Afterwards, though Paige still had romantic feelings for him, it eventually ended as Glen married a girl named Jessica.


 * Nate Parks: Briefly Paige had an affair with Nate Parks, a piano bar owner, which can be considered as a serious relationship as Paige conquered her fear to sing in public for Nate and then decided to reveal her secret to him. It all ended when the truth spell made Nate reveal he was married with children.


 * Richard Montana: Paige had a romantic interest in Richard Montana, a male witch who is related to the feuding family, the Montanas. She was sent to their other feuding family, the Callaways, to take care of an old lady, and meets Richard by chance. Soonafter she helped end the tension between the two witch-families, they bumped into each other again while Paige was working on saving the soul of her boss. She deviced a plan to save the innocent souls and sent Richard to inform Piper and Phoebe. After that, they began a relationship. Knowing how her sisterhood is distracting their relationship, Paige moved into Richard's house in order to make it work, but everything got out of hand when Richard began to practice serious magic and nearly corrupted by it. Richard, finally snapped out of the corruption, relinquished his powers, and Paige ended their relationship to keep him from running into magic.

He used female demonic warriors to do his bidding, using the Charmed Ones' potions. Phoebe made Mr. Right real as part of a plan to vanquish Vincent who kidnapped Paige, put her under a spell and turned her evil, leading her to kidnapping the pregnant (and clueless about what was going on) Piper so she could be killed. Phoebe rescued Piper and the two vanquished Vincent's minions and confronted Vincent. Phoebe realized that making Mr. Right real made Vincent real as well and Piper was able to vanquish him with her molecular combustion power, freeing Paige. Later, Paige and the now real Mr. Right said goodbye and Mr. Right went off to start a new life.
