Phoebe Halliwell

"I have known you your entire life, there is not a mean bone in your body."

- Piper talking to Phoebe.

Phoebe Halliwell is the middle sister of the Charmed Ones following the death of her eldest sister, Prue. She is the wife of a cupid named Coop and the mother of their child; P.J. Halliwell. She is also currently pregnant with her second daughter. It was revealed in a flash forward that Phoebe will have three daughters in total. She was once pregnant with and lost a son, while married to her ex-husband Cole.

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 writing talent. Her Wiccan powers gradually evolved, becoming dangerously offensive like those of her sisters'. Her powers include Premonition, Levitation, Empathy and Pathokinesis. Additionally, Phoebe possess the basic powers of a witch; the ability to cast spells (which is her specialty), brew potions, and scry for lost objects and people. Furthermore, Phoebe can access The Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones.

Phoebe is a famous columnist and occasionally a reporter at The Bay Mirror and is the author of the best-seller "Finding Love".

Early Life
Phoebe was born on November 2nd, 1975 to Warren witch Patty Halliwell and mortal Victor Bennett. On March 24th, 1975, Phoebe's powers manifested themselves into her mother from the womb, granting her a premonition. Following this, 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.

Sometime after she was born, her maternal grandmother, Penny, bound her powers in order to keep her safe from the warlock Nicholas who was promised their powers in a pact. To ensure her safety and a normal childhood, Penny erased all magic-related memories, causing her to forget about magic.

Unfortunately for her, almost a year after her birth, Phoebe's mother was killed by the Water Demon. She never got to know her.

At the age of 10, Phoebe was transported by a spell cast by her future self to the year 2002, where she met two older versions of herself and her sisters Piper and Paige. She visited the realm of Whitelighters with Leo. After she helped her older self listen to her heart about marrying Cole, she returned to her own time, where Penny quickly erased her memory of the time travel.

She was a good student, and once earned an award for student of the month, but developed a serious rebellious stage in her teenage years as she began to cause trouble around school and do delinquent things such as shoplifitng. This change of character had often been credited to the fact that Grams had tried to often control her and this resulted in her rebelling. Her sister, Piper said that her rebellious stage was because "Mom" died.

Becoming a Charmed One
On October 7th, 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 "attic." To find out more about it, she went up to the attic where she found the Book of Shadows. Phoebe then cast Dominus Trinus that reawakened the powers of the three sisters that were bound by their grams when they were young.

Both Prue and Piper did not believe Phoebe when she told them that they were witches and not just any witches but the most powerful witches of all time. Later that day, she received a premonition of two teenagers getting hit by a car ten seconds before it happened, which allowed her to prevent it. 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. By becoming witches, her relationship with Prue improved greatly. They began to talk more often and think of each other as close sisters instead of rivals.

Phoebe started to study the Book of Shadows very carefully, which often came handy. At first, she saw magic as a tool and broke the first restriction in the Wiccan rules: magic should not be used for personal gain. She eventually learned to follow the rules though she's made exceptions.

Graduating from College
Phoebe's personality matured as well as her knowledge in witchcraft and she decided to get a job but was relatively turned off by the fact she was not educated enough to obtain the jobs she wanted to have. She then decided to go back to college. Phoebe worked hard to keep her studies stable and maintain a relatively normal life.

However, Phoebe knew that her Charmed duties still came first. She had to fend off many demonic attacks and also had to find time to save/protect innocents, which interrupted her studies and almost derailed her plans to pass her college finals.

Phoebe eventually overcame all these obstacles to pass her finals and later graduated from college with a B.A. in Psychology. This was a great and proud achievement for Phoebe, however, because of her charmed duties, she didn't use her degree for two years.

Falling in Love with Cole Turner
"The safest place Cole knows is with me."

- Phoebe talking about Cole. Phoebe met Cole Turner while she was in college, he was the assistant district attorney in charge of the case she was involved in. Unbeknownst to the sisters, Cole was a half-demon known as "Belthazor" who was sent by the Triad to kill the Charmed Ones.

The two fell in lust and flirted with each other for a couple of months. Cole eventually asked Phoebe out on a date which she happliy accepted. However, Cole had fallen in love with her, prompting him to fail his missions in order to protect her.

During a botched and half-hearted attack on the charmed One, Cole got hurt. However, his betrayal enraged the Triad, who then tried and failed to kill him. Cole's injury eventually lead to Phoebe discovering of his true identity as both him and Belthazor were injured in the spot.

A hurt and angry Phoebe wanted to vanquish him until he convinced her of his love by saving her life. She then decided to fake his death to protect him from her sisters. This complicated her relationship with her sisters, the guilt of lying to them motivated her to eventually tell the truth, first to her whitelighter, Leo, and then to her sisters, Piper and Prue.

A few months later, Cole returned to San Francisco, though Phoebe was dismissive of him at first, she was persuaded when he started to do good deeds to be with her. Cole made up his mind to lose his powers forever in order to be with her, but it was forced to delay when the Brotherhood of the Thorn attempted to emerge with the human society.

However, she was forced to witness mind-controlled Cole's assassinate of a witch. Unbeknownst to her that it was all Raynor's doing in a bid to destroy her love for Cole. Shortly after Banshee attacked her and she was forced to confront her root pain, Cole. He explained that it was Raynor's work to separate them, she decided to take him back into her arms again.

Prue's Death and Finding Paige
"Shax was just the messenger. We need to get The Source."

- Phoebe talking about avenging Prue.

On May 17th, 2001, Phoebe's elder sister, Prue Halliwell, was killed in battle by the demon Shax.The sudden loss of their sister was devastating for Piper and Phoebe. However, she tried to remain strong and collected for Piper's sake. Even though she was torn up inside, she wanted to be there for her.

At her sister's funeral, she met a woman named Paige Matthews and had a vision her getting killed by Shax, the same demon that killed Prue. With Piper too reluctant to help, she decided to team up with Cole to save her.

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 abandoned at birth for protection. Paige then arrive at the house and shook hands with her half sisters, the Power of Three was then recreated.

Becoming the Queen of the Underworld


Cole Turner absorbed the powers of the Source so that the Charmed Ones could vanquish him. However, after the vanquish, the essence of the Source stayed in Cole and they slowly started to corrupt him. Phoebe's powers alerted her that something was wrong, especially after feeling a premonition about Cole being blocked, however she remained oblivious to the matter.

Cole then tricked Phoebe into marrying him through a Dark Binding ceremony. Shortly after, Phoebe found out that she was pregnant. With the pregnancy, she began manifesting the ability to shoot flames from her hands and the power of teleportation.

When she found out the truth through a premonition, she was in shock, however, the Seer convinced her to become the Queen of the Underworld. She then vanquished an evil Wizard who was trying to take Cole's position as the Source and joined Cole as his queen.

Phoebe tried to live the life of the queen of all evil, but a combination of pregnancy hormones and demonic tonics made her so cranky that she ended up vanquishing five of Cole's best Demons. Because she missed her sisters, and because saving innocents was "who she was," Phoebe then tried to play both sides of good and evil before realizing that she had to choose.

She later discovered that Cole knew about The Seer's tonics completely eating away at her good nature. Shortly after, she found out that Cole killed one of her innocents and she chose to rejoin her sisters in opposing him. Together, they cast the spell which used the power of their ancestors to vanquish Cole.

Because of Cole's death, the Source had completely taken over the unborn baby Phoebe was carrying. After the child was stolen by The Seer, Phoebe came to terms with the fact the evil child never truly belonged to her.

Getting Divorced from Cole Turner
"I do love you...and I always will. But it doesn't change anything. It doesn't matter. It's over between us."

- Phoebe finally admits her feelings to Cole.

Phoebe was still trying to put her life back together and her time as Queen of the Underworld behind her when Cole returned from the Demonic Wasteland, and although she still loved him and he loved her, she believed that they couldn't be together because he had countless demonic powers —though he did his best to do good things—and she was still a good witch, her traumatic experiences from being the queen of the Underworld and carrying the unborn Source also playing a hand in her reluctance of their relationship.

Phoebe decided to file for divorce. However, Cole could not accept that their marriage was over and continued to pursue her. Phoebe's powers eventually became inactive due to her attempts to avoid Cole by overworking herself at the Bay Mirror. She tried to solve this problem by going to a gypsy fortuneteller.

Lydia, another gypsy, told her that her powers were not working because she working to hard and was neglecting her powers. By balancing her time at work and with family, her powers become active once again, and even advanced to the point that she can see the future in color and experience the event as if she had astral projected into her future self.

Cole, blaming Paige's apparance as the start of his and Phoebe's problems, becomes an Avatar in order to have the power needed to change history, thus creating a new reality where Paige never reconstituted the Charmed Ones as she was killed by Shax thus allowing demons to have taken over the world. In this alternate reality, Phoebe is still married to Cole but she hates him just as much as she does in the original world, only remaining married to him in order to ensure what happened to Prue doesn't happen to Piper.

Living in a world without the love of Cole nor her sisters, Phoebe satisfies herself with casual sex with random men and demons. She's guarded herself from love an is not as open as she once was.

Paige, however, manages to orb into this reality by accident and is able to make things right by recreating the Power of Three again. Phoebe, this time, personally vanquishes her former love. Paige was then transported back to the rightful timeline where she informed Phoebe and Piper of the events that occurred and of Cole's death.

Phoebe Becomes an Empath
In 2003, Phoebe discovered that besides being a witch, she was also destined to be an Empath. This was revealed when she found out she could feel other people's emotions. Initially, Phoebe was excited to have gained a new power, but eventually grew to fear it as she recalls how it almost killed Prue.

However, Leo explained that her becoming an empath may have happened a little early because she was meant to use her new power to save Piper, who had trapped herself in an emotional cocoon when Leo became an Elder. After saving Piper, who because of her hidden emotions had become a Valkyrie, Phoebe attempted to gain control over hew new power, though it proved to be difficult especially with her and Jason's growing feelings for each other.

Over time, she began to find some control over her empathic abilities and with Piper's blessing, she moved to Hong Kong with Jason. Unfortunately, her relationship with him eventually came to an end when he found out about her witch heritage

However, months later, all three of Phoebe's active powers were taken away by the Tribunal because she had been misusing her premonition power. Fortunately, she can {and will) regain all of her active powers with time and effort.

Phoebe's Visions of Utopia
Later that year, Phoebe is sent on a vision quest by Enola, a young shaman at Magic School. She is taken into a possible future without the constant demon attacks where she is pregnant, and Piper has a second son. This would not be the last time Phoebe is given a vision of a peaceful future.

A few months later, Phoebe forms a bond with the Seer, Kyra who offered the side of good information on the Avatars in exchange for being made human. Kyra shared with Phoebe a vision of the Avatars' ultimate goal -- Utopia, a world free of the battle between good and evil. In this future, Phoebe discovers that she has a daughter.

Phoebe was overjoyed with what she saw, however, she soon realized that the Avatars' future involved killing people who didn't fit their perfect world and convinced her sisters to stop them. This action erased the Utopian future.

Over time, Phoebe began to doubt whether or not she would ever have the little girl she foresaw, becoming obsessed with finding the right man who would give her this child. Subsequently, this also caused her to lose faith in her powers.

Temporary Retirement from being a Charmed One
"I'm not your sis, I'm your cousin remember"

- Phoebe and Piper talking about their new disguise. After Phoebe and her sisters' astral selves destroyed Zankou and the Nexus in the basement of Halliwell Manor, everyone, both mortal and supernatural, believed they were dead because of the blast created by the vanquish. This was their chance to finally lead a normal life.

The sisters decided to leave their charmed life behind and start over. That is when Phoebe decided that the sisters should choose one appearance and make it a permanent one by the use of a spell. The sisters and Leo changed identities, becoming the cousins of their father Victor.

Phoebe's new alias was Julie Bennett and everyone else but her loved ones could only see her "new look". They soon realized, however, that hiding from their identities was a mistake, so after consulting the Department of Homeland Security, she and her sisters returned to their normal lives.

Finding Her True Love
"For though I've loved before, I've never really known love, until I met Coop."

- Phoebe talking about 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.

Overtime, she grew to trust Coop and sought his advise on both magical and family matters. However, Phoebe's continuing reluctance and Coop's persistence led to them challenging, amusing, and exciting each other. Overtime, 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 ingnited 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 afterwards, 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.

Ultimate Battle & Victory
When Phoebe found out that Billie Jenkins was 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 travelled 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 it's 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.

One Year and Six Months of Peace
"So much has happened in the last eight years. So much has been gained and lost. Still in some ways I feel like my life is really just beginning. And it was."

- Phoebe talking about the last eight years

After the Ultimate battle, Phoebe and her sisters started writing about their experiences over the last eight years in the Book of Shadows so they can pass it down the way it was passed down to them. With most of the powerful demons vanquished, Phoebe and her family were free from fighting demons for one year and six months. During this time Phoebe and Coop started to date and she also continued her work at the Bay Mirror.

Marrying Coop and First Child


After dating for a few months, Coop took Phoebe to Cupid's Temple and proposed. She accepted and was later married to her true love by an Angel of Destiny at the newly regained Magic School. While on their honeymoon, she got pregnant with their first child. Nine months later, she gave birth to their daughter, Prudence Johnna Halliwell. Phoebe then moved out of her condo and bought a house with Coop, which they moved into with "P.J."

At the end of her maternity leave, Phoebe found that she did not want to return to work and leave her newborn daughter. However, after deciding that she had to, she and Coop discover that little Prue has come into her powers as she kept beaming her mommy back home every time she would try to leave.

Phoebe's Powers Return
"First Levitation. Now Empathy."

- Phoebe and Piper discussing her returned powers.

Phoebe's premonition power appears to have advanced, evident by the fact that she was able to receive one upon command while she and Piper were attending their friend Brittany's funeral. She wanted to know how Brittany died, so she impulsively touches the coffin and receives a premonition, seeing Brittany looking very old. She explains to Piper that she's as old as when Javna stole her youth nearly ten years before.

Later that same day, she regained her levitation power. While looking through the Book of Shadows in the Manor, she receives a premonition so powerful that it causes her to hover in the air. As she levitates, she foresees all of the innocents that she and her sisters have saved, in grave danger.

A couple of days later, she regained her gift of Empathy; while at work. she was reluctant to take part in Elise's latest publicity stunt, until her empathy power kicks in and she feels the incredible love of a couple who turned out to be Romeo &amp; Juliet. Later, when she got home, she shares the happy news that her powers are back. It is during this time that Phoebe decides to write a book.



Fear of her Power & Hurting Cal
"That happens less than a year from now and I still don't know what I did to him...what this new power's supposed to be."

- Phoebe talking about her new power.

After Phoebe discovered that her publicist and close friend, Mika was dating Cal Greene, she became worried that the future she saw eight years earlier where she used a new power to kill Cal for murdering a close friend, would eventually come true. She did not understand her new power and was afraid that she would use it to hurt him. Her sisters tried to calm her down and reassure her that things have changed. They told her to use her empathy power to figure Cal out.

Coop sensed that she was frustrated so he took her to Cupid's Temple on the Italian Coastline, where he and Phoebe discussed the situation more. Coop had one of his Messenger Cherubs deliver them a message and they discovered that while Mika and Cal were in love, it was not eternal; it was not destined to last. Phoebe was convinced it was because Cal was going kill Mika but Coop stayed positive and pointed out that she could break them up without interfering with true love.

Phoebe then began investigating Cal's past and discovered that the Bay Mirror hadn't published a story about Cal in years.

She then confronted Elise about this, and Elise told her that she had discovered that the baseball player had been beating his girlfriends. Cal had threatened Elise's life so that she wouldn't reveal this information. Phoebe then went to Mika to tell her about Cal but she had already confronted him.

Phoebe and Mika then returned to the Bay Mirror for Phoebe's web chat with her sisters in tow for extra protection. Shortly afterwards, Phoebe has a premonition of Elise's funeral and realizes that it was Elise who Cal was going to kill. The sisters rush to find Elise shot and badly beaten. However, Paige was able to heal her just in time, but Phoebe desired revenge.

Phoebe realized that she could now reflect someone's emotions back at them, effectively overloading their brain. Piper warned Phoebe not to kill Call in vengeance and they come up with a plan to get Cal caught on tape beating a glamoured Elise, whom Phoebe was finally forced to tell that she was a witch.

First Wedding Anniversary


"Cupid's Temple, my favorite view of the Italian Coastline"

- Coop took Phoebe to the temple on their one year anniversary.

Due to the revelation that Cal Greene was dating one of her friends, Phoebe stressed herself out by trying to save Mika's life and stop the events she witnessed in the future from coming true. However, Coop made sure that they got to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. He took her back to Cupid's Temple, as it is her favorite place to be. While at the temple, he tried to ease her worries and offer her his advise and called in a favor to get information for her.

Averting the Apocalypse
"I'm a multi-tasker. I can find Piper and figure out a way to deal with Neena."

- Phoebe talking to Coop.

About a month after she faced Cal Greene and her empathy power advanced, Phoebe and her sisters came face to face with Neena, who was waging a battle against the Elders. Neena was able to send Piper to another dimension with her portal creation power while Phoebe levitated to evade Neena's power.

As Phoebe and Paige desperately try to get Piper back, Leo recognizes Neena and ordered them to orb away. Back at the manor, he explained to the sisters that Neena is the first witch.

A plan was devised, which Phoebe hated, for Leo and Paige to go to The Heavens glamoured as demons to do some reconaissance. Both Leo and Paige were quickly captured.

Back at the Manor, Coop tried his best to reassure Phoebe that things would work out. Phoebe then realized that just as Coop would go to the ends of the Earth for her, Neena would do anything to find her love. Recognizing that they were searching for the wrong person, she altered their plan to trying to find Neena's beloved to solve all of their problems.

Phoebe then used the the spell to call blood to blood to find her ancestor, which failed, nearly destroying the attic in the process. Paige's body then orbed in, unconscious and barely breathing. Phoebe tried but failed to sense any emotions from her. A frustrated Phoebe confessed to Coop that she wasn't sure she could save everyone on her own, but he assured her that she wasn't alone, she had him.

Phoebe then realized that she could use the Power of One to contact her sisters. She then performed a ritual, drawing a triquetra on the floor and communicated with her sisters telepathically. She told them that the world was being torn apart at the seams and encouraged them to find their way back to her, coming up with a plan to stop Neena before she brought about the apocalypse.

Piper and Phoebe then lead the battle against Neena and reclaim The Heavens. During the battle, Phoebe used her power to project all of Neena's emotions back at her, though it also knocked her down.

However, it was able to incapacitate Neena long enough for the entire Warren line of witches to bind her magic. Even though Phoebe sensed that Neena believed the things she had done was right, after the battle the Angels of Destiny still banished her to her failed dimension.

Later Life
With the destruction of all the strong demons of the past, Phoebe was finally able to have a normal live (she still helped innocents, but things became much calmer than her early years). Phoebe continues to give advice through her advice column in The Bay Mirror to all who needed it, but was more interested in helping her readers find love.

Phoebe also publishes a New York best-selling book called "Finding Love". She was last seen with her husband, Coop, rushing off for the birth of their third daughter, while Billie tended to their two other girls.

The magical lives of Phoebe and her sisters as the Charmed Ones, is written in the history books of Magic School as well as their own Book of Shadows, which has grown thicker by the time they are 80.

Personality and Traits
"Always was the restless one. Just like your grams."

- Gideon to Phoebe

Phoebe is described as rebellious and courageous. She's not afraid to try new things, a trait that both her older sisters admire and envy. She can also be very restless, impatient and quick-witted. 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 is also the only Charmed One to be born in the Manor, above the Nexus which makes her susceptible to turning evil.

Phoebe has a creative mind and a very good memory. When she first started creating her own spells she was able to recall spells and combine them into new and more powerful ones. She is street smart, as she can pick locks and pockets, as well as change the tires of a car. She's also fiercely loyal to the people that she loves, a Warren trait.

Etymology

 * Phoebe: Is the Latinized form of the Greek name Φοιβη (Phoibe), which meant "bright, pure" from Greek φοιβος (phoibos). In Greek mythology Phoibe was a Titan associated with the moon. This was also an epithet of her granddaughter, the moon goddess Artemis. The name appears in Paul's epistle to the Romans in the New Testament, where it belongs to a female minister in the church at Cenchreae. In England, it began to be used as a given name after the Protestant Reformation. A moon of Saturn bears this name (in honour of the Titan).


 * Halliwell: Derives from any of the several places named with the Old English pre 7th Century elements "halig" meaning "holy", plus "well(a)", a well or spring. These places include Halliwell in Lancashire, recorded as Haliwell circa 1200; Holwell in Dorset and Oxfordshire appearing respectively as Halegewelle and Haliwelle in the Domesday Book of 1086; Halwell and Halwill in Devonshire, recorded as Halgewilla in 1086, and Holywell in Northumberland, Kent, Cambridgeshire and Cornwall.
