The Charmed Ones



The Charmed Ones are a sisterhood of the three (actually four) most powerful good witches that will ever exist, that are dedicated to protecting the world from evil forces. Nobody is more powerful than these three witches. The power emitting from the Charmed Ones is called "the Power of Three", which once at its apex is the most powerful form of magic the world has ever known. Each sister possesses one of their ancestor Melinda Warren's abilities (Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization and Premonition) but their combined might, the Power of Three, is where their real strength lies. Without extreme power and/or trickery applied, likely including some from an outside source, there is no demon, witch, human, or magical being that can withstand the Power of Three.

Before burning at the stake, Melinda Warren prophesized that each generation of the Warren line would grow stronger and stronger culminating in the arrival of the Charmed Ones. Three sisters that would be the most powerful witches the world had ever known.

The Power of Three, the bond between these sisters and their powers is represented by the ancient symbol called The Triquetra. An embossed triquetra was placed on the front of the Book of Shadows, and would split whenever the Power of Three was split.

The Original Charmed Ones


After three centuries, the prophecy was fulfilled by the birth of Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell. During their first three years as witches they encountered countless manifestations of evil. By vanquishing these evil forces they earned a reputation of great power and destiny. At first the sisters only encountered warlocks but as the girls' powers grew so did the evil beings they encountered, such as demons. Eventually, the sisters not only developed strength, but also willpower and a strong bond with one another.

In 2001, the Charmed Ones exposed magic to the world but by resetting time the girls in turn lost a sister, Prue, who was killed by the demon Shax, the Source's assassin who blasted her through a wall which in turn resulted in massive blood loss from the back of her head. With her death, the Power of Three was broken. The two remaining sisters soon found out that they had a younger half-sister, Paige Matthews. After they found her, her witch blood line was awaken, therefore reinstating the Charmed Ones.

The Reconstituted Charmed Ones


With Prue Halliwell's death in 2001, the Power of Three was shattered. However hope for its reconstitution was brought by the arrival of Prue, Piper and Phoebe’s half-sister, Paige Matthews. Paige has been a "Charmed One" due to her mother being Patty Halliwell with her whitelighter side, is said to be more powerful. ''("Charmed Again") '' During Paige's time as a Charmed One they encountered many magical creatures and even vanquished the Source of All Evil with help from Cole and the Seer. In the five years the Charmed Ones were serving their Wiccan duties they destroyed almost all the world demons and vanquished all the powerful upper-level demons.

The Tall Man had been imprisoned for centuries, and as such had never heard of a Charmed One when ordered by the Seer to capture one. She simply used the description of "a powerful witch", that every demon before him had failed to contain. ("Womb Raider") Phoebe later destroyed this demon using the powers of her demonic baby that later proved to actually be The Source's and Seer's baby.

Later, the wizard Rathmere while confined by the Spider Demon, was told that she had captured a Charmed One, something she knew little about. As a powerful wizard in the magical community up until his capture in 1904, he had heard of the prophecy of their coming. ("Spin City")

Piper has three children with her husband Leo Wyatt; Wyatt, Chris and Melinda. Phoebe has three little girls with her husband Coop. Paige has a son, Henry Jr. and Twin daughters with her husband Henry Mitchell. ("The Day The Magic Died", "It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Part 2", "Forever Charmed")
