Phoebe Halliwell

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

- Piper talking to Phoebe.

Phoebe Halliwell became the second eldest sister of the Charmed Ones after the death of her oldest sister, Prue. She is the wife of Coop, a Cupid and is the mother of P.J Halliwell and her two younger sisters. As a Charmed One, her primary power is premonition. She is also an Empath and so far the only Warren witch to become one.

Phoebe was originally the youngest of the Charmed Ones. After Prue's death and discovering that she had a younger half-sister, Paige Matthews, Phoebe became the middle sister and has since adjusted to her role as mediator between her sisters.

Early Life
"Phoebe that would've made you what, One? You know you couldn't walk yet, but you could swim. You were a fish."

- Victor talking to Phoebe

Phoebe was born on November 2nd, 1975 to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett. She was raised by her grandmother. On March 24th, 1975, she used her powers from her mother's womb along with her two sisters to unbind the bond that her mother had made with the warlock Nicholas, to save her and her two older sister's future selves.

Her mother had promised him the powers of her daughters and had granted him immunity from those powers by blessing his ring.

After she was born, her maternal grandmother Penny Halliwell bound her and her sisters' powers to prevent the Warlock Nicholas from coming after them and taking their powers.

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. 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 Halliwell said that her rebellious stage was because "Mom" died.

At the age of 10, she 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. Her future ex-husband Cole Turner protected her from the demon Kurzon and then 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.

Becoming a Charmed one
On October 7th, 1998, she returned from New York after spending six months there. On that night, she and Piper were playing with the spirit board when the pointer suddenly moved on its own, spelling "attic". To find out more about it, she went up to the locked attic door; it opened on its own and showed her to the Book of Shadows which was hidden inside an old trunk. She then cast the Dominus Trinus spell that reawakened the powers of the three sisters that had been bound by Grams when they were young.

Both her sisters did not believe her when she told them that they were witches, prophesized by an ancestor named Melinda Warren to be the most powerful force of good the world has ever seen. 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. With all three together, they managed to tap into the Power of Three and vanquished Jeremy.

Unlike her sisters, she embraced her destiny as a Charmed One with open arms, and convinced them to embrace their magic as well. She studied the Book of Shadows very carefully, which often came handy. 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; their relationship with Piper also progressed.

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. Her violation to this restriction often lands her in more trouble than she expects. She eventually learned to follow the rules though she's made exceptions.

Going back to College
"I have a degree in psychology. That I worked really hard for and I would like to use it, to help people, in a non- magical way."

- Phoebe to Piper

Phoebe's personality became more maturing 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.

However, after, she crashed Prue's car and needed to raise the money to fix the damage to increase her chances to gain employment. But after the smart spell wore off, she was forced to use her own creative intellect to defeat two warlocks, Malcolm and his lover Jane and save her sisters. She decided to take some night classes and returned to college and tried hard to keep her studies stable and maintain a relatively normal life. However, she faced many incidents that interrupted her studies and challenged her to pass her college finals. However, she still managed to pass the finals and she eventually graduated from college with a B.A. in Psychology.

Meeting Cole Turner
"The safest place Cole knows is with me."

- Phoebe talking about Cole

She met Cole Turner, a half-demon known as "Belthazor" sent by the Triad to kill her and her sisters. They eventually fell in love intimately, prompting Cole to fail his mission to protect her. His betrayal enraged the Triad, whom then tried and failed to kill him. The eventual discovery of his true identity complicated her relationship with her sisters when she faked his death to protect him. The guilt of lying to them motivated her to eventually tell the truth, first with Leo, and then Piper and Prue. Prue was the only one who's more mad at her betrayal than anyone else.

A few months later, Cole returned to San Francisco while hiding from demonic agents, and started to do good deeds to be with her. Though she was dismissive of him at first, she was persuaded when he took Prue to another dimension to save her, and ultimately changed everyone's minds. 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.

After making her witness Cole's assassination of a witch, Raynor almost destroyed her love for Cole. And when a Banshee attacked her, the pain hidden within Phoebe turned her intoo a Banshee. Piper then summoned Cole to make Phoebe confront her root pain, which worked and allowed her to become a witch again. Knowing 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
"It's not enough. 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 after that she and Piper accidentally exposed their powers on Live TV while fighting the demon Shax.The sudden loss of their sister was devastating for Piper and Phoebe. She stroke a deal with the Source of All Evil: she would stay in the Underworld in exchange for the demonic sorcerer Tempus to rewind time to exactly the moment before Shax stroke.

Though time has reversed, her absence allowed Shax to successfully kill an innocent and send Prue and Piper flying through walls thus killing Prue, and the Power of Three broke. Phoebe managed to escape the Underworld with Leo and Cole's help.

After the death of her sister Prue, 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 premonition of 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 Paige. 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 interrogated Grams and Patty and found out that Paige was their younger half-sister, who was abandoned at birth for protection. Paige then arrived at the house and when Piper and her shook hands, the Power of Three was recreated just before Shax's attack.

Queen of the Underworld
She has to deal with Cole's constant dangerous situation since he is hunted by every demonic bounty hunter for betraying the Source. She makes a potion to strip his powers, which succeeds and he becomes fully human. A week later, The Source finally attacks the Charmed Ones by getting The Hollow to obtain their powers. Cole was summoned by The Seer, who opposed the Source tapping into the Hollow.

The Seer suggested that Cole take in the Hollow so he can absorb the Source's powers. This distracted the Source long enough that the sisters can chant the spell to vanquish him. Unknown to Cole or the sisters, the Seer had her own agenda--she intended for Cole to become the new Source. As it turned out, when the Seer and Phoebe sent the Hollow back to its ancient burial ground, the Source's essence remained in Cole, entering the void where Belthazor had once been.

She senses something is wrong, especially after feeling a premonition about Cole blocked by an unseen force (later revealed to be the Source). Cole then sabotaged his own wedding, held in late March 2002, in order to trick her into a dark wedding officiated by a dark priest. As a result of the dark wedding, however, the child would be pure demon. Her and Cole married, and she became pregnant. With the pregnancy, she began manifesting the ability to shoot flames from her hands and to teleport.

Cole attempted to give up his position of Source of All Evil to an evil Wizard, but failed when she used her baby's powers to kill the Wizard. She then joined Cole as his queen.

She tried to live the life of evil, and a combination of hormones and demonic potions made her so cranky, she ended up vanquishing five of Cole's best Demons. Then she tried to play both sides of Good and Evil, but realizing she could not, she rejoined her sisters in opposing Cole. Together they cast a spell which used the power of their ancestors to vanquish Cole.

Shortly after she starts to hear Cole's voice in the wind. He later returns from the Demonic Wasteland from the to save Phoebe from getting killed by a witch hunter. He tells Phoebe that he's not giving up on them.

Cole's Return and Vanquish
"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 has to deal with her dangerous and invincible ex-husband Cole Turner who has returned from the Demonic Wasteland. Even though she loves him and he loves her, they can't be together because he is still a demon (though he does his best to use them for good) and she is still a good witch. This emotional problem sends Phoebe down a spiral of pain, which also affect her powers.

Though he manages to make her confess her true feelings, she still declares that they cannot be together anymore. Her powers remain inactive due to her attempt to avoid Cole by overworking herself at the Bay Mirror. She tries to solve this problem by going to a Gypsy fortune-teller, but also accidentally gives her a premonition of a gypsy hunter. By balancing her time at work and with family, her powers become active once again, and even advance to the point that she can see the future in colors and experience the event like she'd astral projected into her future self.

Cole, blaming Paige's appearance as the start of the problem, becomes an Avatar to change history, thus creating a new timeline where demons prevail the world, and Paige never reconstituted the Charmed Ones as she was killed by Shax. In this timeline, her and Cole are married, but she is as hateful to Cole as she is in the original one, saying that she is only staying with him to protect Piper. Paige manages to orb into the same timeline by accident and is able to make things right by recreating the Power of Three again. Phoebe this time personally vanquishes her former love.

Becoming an Empath
"I am an empath. That's my new power. Or at least an advancement of my premonition power, I don't know."

- Phoebe to Chris after discovering her new power.

A few months after she and her sisters destroyed the Titans, she became an Empath and gained the new power of Empathy. She is the only Warren witch to become an Empath. She used her new power to figure out that Piper was sad in spite of her apparently happy mood. Phoebe and Paige asked Chris to go up and find Leo, but Chris admitted that Leo was missing. Phoebe was furious that he kept it a secret. She then broke the news to Piper, who seemed undisturbed that Leo was missing, thus leading Phoebe to realize that Leo must have done something to Piper before left and only he can reverse whatever he did.

She even sensed Chris' nervousness and sensed that he was hiding something, but she didn't press it because she was more concerned about helping Piper and rescuing Leo from Valhalla. Her new power was hard to control at first and was driving her crazy. It even led her into starting a brawl at the newspaper, but it was very useful in finding out when people were lying and redirecting powers back at demons. Jason also returned to town again and her empathy was still too strong for her to be close to him, but she began to find some control. However, she and Jason eventually broke up.

Visiting Magic School


In 2004, she visited Magic School at the bequest of a Elder named Gideon. There, she saw and followed a wolf which led her to Enola the shaman, a student at the school, who sent her on a vision quest to help her see her own future more clearly. On her quest, she saw Piper, an older Wyatt, and a younger boy that turned out to be Piper's second son.

In the future Phoebe saw, she was pregnant with a little girl, Paige had become a teacher at the school, and they were living a life without demons. Wyatt's little brother approached her, saying, "Aunt Phoebe, we need your help". She then returned to the present, only to hear Chris asking, "Phoebe, can you hear me? We need your help." She realized who Chris really was, thus becoming the first one to find out that Chris Perry is actually Chris Halliwell, her nephew and Piper and Leo's second son.

Helping Chris


After she found out who Chris really was, he tried to enlist her help to get his parents back together, but she felt that meddling with Piper and Leo's relationship would be wrong. As Chris tried to persuade his aunt to join his cause, she got a premonition and they both went to a Middle Eastern desert where they rescued a female genie named Jinny from her demonic master.

After she tried to save the genie, she became a Genie herself, with Chris as her new master. Chris decided to take advantage of the situation and wished for Piper and Leo to sleep together, but she outsmarted him and made Piper and Leo fall asleep on the floor. She and Paige managed to get Jinny back in the bottle and free herself. She then assured Chris that everything would work out.

After exhausting all her resources to get Piper and Leo back together, she decided to just tell them. However, the couple was brought back together by a Darklighter attack. Afterwards, she told Piper that Chris was in fact her son. She was also the most emotionally affected when it came time for Chris to return back to the future. However, the family was betrayed and adult Chris died before he could get back to his own time. But her and her family welcomed a healthy baby Chris.

Taking a Sabbatical
"So maybe I should stop giving advise to people on finding love, until I can figure out how to find it myself."

- Phoebe to Paige

After eveything that she went through the previous year, with betrayal of Gideon, she felt a little disconnected and she realized that she was recycling past advice to her readers. Even though Paige and Elise told her that it was OK and that every columist does it, she felt that she was letting down her readers. She decided to take some time off, until she felt better to return to work. Elise advised her to take a sabbatical and later hired Leslie St. Claire as the ghost-writer.

Vision of her Daughter
"But if the good part of what I saw could happen, that would be great. Because it was incredible, I was so happy and calm and peaceful and my little girl. Oh my god she was so cute."

- Phoebe describing vision

A demonic Seer known as Kyra sought protection from the demon world in exchange for information she had regarding the looming Avatar threat. Kyra decided to offer the information to the Charmed Ones if they persuaded the Elders to make her human. Phoebe and Kyra soon grew close and she learned to trust Phoebe enough to show her a vision of the future she had of Phoebe living in a demon free world talking to her future daughter.

In the vision, Phoebe was picking up her two nephews Chris and Wyatt and her daughter Prue from school. Chris was teasing Prue by telling her that the demons would come back, but Phoebe reassured her daughter that demons no longer existed, thanks to the Avatars. However, Phoebe later had a premonition recalling all the painful occurrences in her life and convinced her sisters to stop the Avatars.

Temporary Retirement from being a Charmed One


After Phoebe and her sisters' astral selves destroyed the powerful demon 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. That is why 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.

Meeting Coop
"For though I've loved before. I've never really known love, until I met Coop."

- Phoebe talking about Coop Shortly before she met her future husband Coop, she had briefly considered and eventually abandon the idea to have her future daughter through a donor. She had also lost her faith in her gift, until she had another astral premonition of the future. In the vision, she talked to her future older self, 6 years from now, and she was told that she will have her daughter.

Phoebe soon 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.

Phoebe's continuing reluctance and Coop's persistence led to them challenging, amusing and exciting each other, Phoebe also became comfortable asking Coop advise. 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. Coop even continued setting Phoebe up on dates to make her happy until she told him it was him that she wanted. They 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 continued to support Phoebe during magical affairs. Shortly after, Phoebe found out that the Elders actually sent Coop to her, in the hopes that she would fall in love with him. Her and Coop finally embrace the love for each other.

Ulitmate Battle & Victory
When Phoebe found out that Billie was the Ultimate Power, she was reluctant to Vanquish her and she and Piper were at a disagreement until a spell was cast on her because of Billie. Left no choice but to fight, she and her sisters acquired the Hollow to become strong enough to destroy Billie and Christy, and the evil Triad. The powers from the Hollow, however, led to the destruction of the Halliwell Manor and both her and Paige were killed in the ensuing explosion. Coop is 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 Phoebe and Paige.

Piper use the ring to Patty and Grams. Then the four travelled back to 2006. Right on the moment that they arrive, the Charmed Ones and the Jenkins' start battle. Time adjusts itself to it's new future and Piper flashes into her past self becoming her present self again. Phoebe and Paige are saved, alive again. Not long after, the Charmed Ones and Billie are able to kill The Triad and Christy and return Patty and Penny safely to their own time again.

One Year and Six Months of Peace
"So much as happen in the last eight years. So much have 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, when everything turned back the way it should be. Phoebe including 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 continued their relationship and she continue to 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 gives birth to their first child and daughter, P.J Halliwell. While she still works for the Bay Mirror, she doesn't live in her condo anymore. She and Coop bought a house in the city and moved into it with P.J.

Life with her Daughter and Husband
"It all changed when I met the man I could finally be honest with. About everything. I lucked out because he already knew the big things before we even met. But it was the little things we learned together that really mattered"

- Phoebe on her life with Coop

Phoebe has the life she always wanted with her husband Coop and her daughter P.J. She and her husband share a very caring, honest and supportive relationship. Coop is always there to support her, giving her helpful advice and encouragement to overcome whatever obstacle she might face. She also told Coop about all the ups and downs that she had been through and the events surrounding her late sister's death.

Her daughter has also started developing her cupid powers and while she is delighted, she admits that it's also stressful, as baby Prue kept teleporting her repeatedly. One instant is when she left for work, she is suddenly beamed back home. She kisses Coop on the cheek, telling him that he didn't have to beam her back just because she forgot the kiss. Coop tells her he didn't do it, but that it was all the work of their baby girl, P.J. As her baby kept repeatedly beaming her whenever she tries to leave, she sighs, telling Coop that this might become a problem, with a smile.

Regaining her Powers


Her Premonition powers advanced so that she can now get them upon command. She also regained both her powers of Levitation and Empathy four years after she lost them and both times were under extreme emotional circumstances. The first power she regained is her power of Levitation. While she and Piper were attending their friend Brittany's funeral, she wondering how Brittany died, touches the coffin and has a premonition. She sees Brittany in her coffin looking much too old. She explains to Piper that she's as old as when Javna stole her youth.

They then return to the Halliwell Manor to search the Book of Shadows for answers, when Paige orbs in and Phoebe begin to fill her in on what happened when she receives a powerful a premonition, which levitates her into the air. As she levitates, she sees hundreds of innocents, once saved by her and her sisters, all being killed. She explains to her sisters that they're all in danger.

Meanwhile the Source starts attacking, trying to break through the magical barrier. She goes through the Book of Shadows and create a more powerful spell than the Power of Three, while Paige is collecting a bit of magic from every magical being and Piper and Coop travel back to the attic and retrieves Excalibur.

Later In Magic School, she says goodbye to Coop, but he wants to stay and help her. However, she told him that she needs to know that he's with the kids, because Leo and Henry don't possess any magic to protect them if her and her sisters fail to destroy The Source. Coop then reassures her that she will beat him. As the battle ensues, Pheobe uses a potion, Piper stabs the Source with Excalibur and Paige tosses a bottle with the collected magic. With the new more powerful Power of Three spell The Source explodes. With him finally vanquished, her and her sisters return to San Francisco.

Fear of her Power & Hurting Cal

- Phoebe talking about her new power.

After Phoebe found out that her friend Mika was dating Cal Greene she became worried that she that the future she was eight years early would eventually come true. She didn't understand her new power and was afraid that she would use it to hurt Cal Greene. Her sister tried to calm her down and reassure that things have changed and that she should use her empathy power to figure Cal out.

Sensing that she was frustrated, Coop takes her to Cupid's Temple on the Italian Coastline, where he and Phoebe discuss the situation more. Coop has one of his Messenger Cherubs deliver a message, and they discover that while Mika and Cal are in love, it's not eternal; it is not destined to last. She is then worried that it means Cal kills Mika, but Coop, staying positive, points out that at least now she can break them up without interfering with true love.He reassures her that he has faith in her and he will stand by her.

She then return to the Bay Mirror to keep on eye on Mika, but she gets a premonition of Elise's funeral and realizes that Elise was the friend that he had brutalised. She was so angry that she wanted to killl him. Using her Empathy to feel his rage, she finally understand what she did to Cal in the Alter- Future. Her power had evolved into Pathokinesis and she projected emotions onto him that killed him. However, Piper calmed her down and Pheobe realize's there was another way to make Cal pay for his crimes. Afterwards she told Elise the true about herself and her powers.

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

Due to the revelation that Cal Greene was dating one of her friend, Phoebe was preoccupied 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 Phoebe back to the Cupid's temple, as it is her favorite place to be at the Italian coastline. 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.

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

- Phoebe talking to Coop.

She's the first witch.

Phoebe and Paige want to find Piper but Leo stopped them and went on to tells them Neena's story and the true origin of magic. A plan was decided, which Phoebe hated, for Leo and Paige to go Up There glamoured as demons trying to find Piper. They are quickly captured.

Back at the Manor, Phoebe and Coop are in the attic, Phoebe stayed behind in case anything went wrong. Coop tried to reassure her that things will work out. They continue to work together to find Piper and a way to stop Neena. Soon Phoebe realizes 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're searching for the wrong person, she alters their plan in order to try and find Neena's lover in an effort to find Piper. Phoebe chants a spell to find her ancestor, which ends up causing a mess in the attic. Just as she's decided to give up Paige orbs in unconscious and barely breathing. Phoebe tries but can't sense any emotions from her. She promises to figure out what to do to save her.

Later Life
"A man who I shared this special little girl… I had long ago foreseen, but feared I might never have. Along with two other special little girls I had not foreseen. I was suddenly so blessed to have a new family of my own. And old friends to share it with. And though I kept working and giving advice to those who asked, I was more interested in helping them find love, since finally having been loved..."

- Phoebe taking about her 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 rushing off for the birth of their third daughter, while Billie tended to their two other girls.

Coop is Phoebe's everlasting true love and soul mate. She and her husband never splited up over the course of their marriage and spent the rest of their lifes togather.

Professional Life

 * Before Working: Phoebe comes back to San Francisco in the first episode completely broke, owning scarcely more than the clothes on her back, a bicycle and an umbrella, hoping to move back into the Halliwell Manor (which at the time was under residence of Prue and Piper) that had been willed to them by their Grams.
 * 1x12-PhoebeWork.jpgHotel Neptune: In "Dead Man Dating" Phoebe wishes to get Prue a really good birthday present but had no money. So seeing an advertisement in the paper for a hotel psychic she briefly worked as a fortune-teller called "The Amazing Phoebe" at a hotel but gave it up after she'd earned enough money to buy Prue's present.
 * Buckland's Auction House: In The Wendigo, Phoebe takes on the job as Prue's assistant at Buckland's Auction House however she gives up the job by the end of the episode as she didn't really feel that she could handle the amount of premonitions of the past she would get from all the antique objects at the auction house.

 * The Bay Mirror: Vlcsnap-35435.pngvlcsnap-46744.pngvlcsnap-26603.png After graduating from college with a B.A in Psychology, Phoebe lands a steady and successful job as an advice columnist for the newspaper, "The Bay Mirror" after the previous advice columnist, Karen departed, Her column is titled "Ask Phoebe." She attends graduate school to further her studies in Psychology while working for the newspaper, but it is not known whether or not she earned any post-graduate degrees. During the run of the show Phoebe becomes somewhat of a celebrity with the general public, this is attributed to her extremely real and insightful advice (possibly a pre-cursor of her future Empathy power). Her popularity can be seen in the many advertisements seen throughout the show entitled "Ask Phoebe: She has all the answers." Also, when Phoebe goes on sabbatical, Elise hires a ghostwriter for her, saying that their sales would drop if they pulled her column. In Still Charmed and Kicking, Elise even refers to Phoebe as the "heart and soul" of the paper and everyone who works there is clearly devastated by her apparent "death." For a short time in Season 7, Phoebe takes a hiatus and Leslie St. Clair gets hired to be a ghost writer for her. In the future, she publishes a best-selling book. She also becomes the editor for an episode when Elise takes a day off and she learns just how hard that job is and is nearly overwhelmed by it, but eventually manages to get everything under control. During her career as an advice columnist, her boss, Elise, was very lenient with her, giving her a lot more leniency than she did with anyone else as long as her column was in in time. For example, the previous columnist Karen Young nearly got fired for just being "sick", but Elise let Phoebe's many different excuses go, even working things around so they'd fit for Phoebe at times. Elise points this out in Scry Hard when she takes a day off and leaves Phoebe in charge, saying that Phoebe owes her for all the times Elise has covered for her. In the future she will write a book named Finding Love.

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).
