Prudence Warren

Prudence Warren-Wentworth was a good witch born in Salem in 1689 and was the only daughter of Melinda Warren and William Jackson. She was raised by kindly mortal neighbors after the death of her mother in 1692. She had the powers of telekinesis and premonition which were latent and not revealed to her until early adulthood. She accepted this and kept her powers a secret to prevent persecution, like her mother. She married a local man named Michael Wentworth- revealed in a novel to be the first mate of a ship- who accepted her powers, and they had a daughter named Cassandra Warren.

In 1692, Melinda was outed as a witch by the warlock Matthew Tate and sentenced to burn at the stake. She could have escaped using her powers. However, she feared that if she did so, Prudence would eventually be outed as a witch as well. She accepted her fate to save her daughter and ensure the Warren line would continue.

When the Charmed Ones brought Melinda Warren into the present, she told them this story and mentioned to Prue that her daughter's name was Prudence. ("The Witch Is Back")
