Phoebe Halliwell

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

- Piper talking to Phoebe.

Phoebe Halliwell was born on November 2nd, 1975 to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett. Phoebe originally began as the youngest of the Charmed Ones, the oldest being Prue Halliwell, and the middle sister being Piper Halliwell. 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. She is the most rebellious and courageous of the four sisters, she's not afraid to try new things, a trait that both her older sisters admire and envy. She also quick-witted and the most compassionate and understanding of the four. As a Charmed One, her primary power is premonition. In season 8, Phoebe brought a Condo and moved out of the Manor. At the end of the series, she is married to Coop, a Cupid and is the mother of Prudence Johnna Halliwell and her two younger sister's. Phoebe also created a new Power of Three Spell, which is the most powerful spell the Charmed Ones possess.

History
Although Phoebe was born with the power of Premonition, her maternal grandmother Penny Halliwell bound her and her sisters' powers to prevent the Warlock Nicholas from coming after them and taking their powers. Her mother and grandmother argued about Victor being merely human and thus unable to protect his own children from the supernatural. A disgruntled Victor eventually left his family. On February 28, 1978, Patricia was drowned fighting the water demon. Phoebe and her two older sisters were raised by their grandmother, Penny Halliwell

Phoebe 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 earned the nickname "Freebie" after she was caught making out with ex-boyfriend Todd Marks. 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, Phoebe was transported by a spell cast by her future self to the year 2002, where she met two older versions of herself, her sister. Piper, Piper's husband Leo Wyatt, and Phoebe's future ex-husband Cole Turner. Cole protected her from the demon Kurzon and then she visited the realm of Whitelighters with Leo. After she helped the older Phoebe listen to her heart about marrying Cole, she returned to her own time, where Penny quickly erased her memory of the time travel.

After completing high school, Piper and Prue moved into an apartment together in North Beach, San Francisco where they stayed until their grandmother became ill and they moved back in with her. Prue became engaged to a man named Roger and she asked Piper to be her maid of honor.

Unfortunately, Roger began to hit on Phoebe at her bartender job and sent her flowers. When Prue found out, she accused Phoebe of coming onto him. Devastated at the accusation, Phoebe left for New York City. She also did this because she had evidence that her father, Victor, was living there. Around this time, Penny took a picture of the three. Seeing how disconnected the sisters were, Penny planned to use a potion to strip the girls' powers forever, but she died before she could use it. The potion was later found by Piper, and the sisters never knew what it was.

Season 1


Right after her Grams' funeral, Phoebe moved to New York in hopes to find her father. This made Prue angry because she had hated him since he left them. Not much is known about her time in New York, but she has mentioned to have been in a relationship with a man named Clay Rivers while working at the Rainbow Room. Though she loved him and knew he was a good man, he took too many short cuts that landed him in trouble, and she dumped him eventually.

After living in New York for 6 months, Phoebe returns home, broke and with nothing more than an umbrella, a bag with her own clothes, and a bike. Prue is reluctant to her moving back, but doesn't kick her out. That night, Phoebe and Piper are playing with the spirit board when the pointer suddenly moves on its own, spelling &quot;ATTIC&quot;. To find out more about it, she goes up to the locked attic door; it opens on its own and shows her to the Book of Shadows which is hidden inside an old trunk. By reading the Dominus Trinus spell out loud, the Charmed Ones receive their Wiccan powers. The next day, she tries to convince her sisters that they are witches prophesied by an ancestor named Melinda Warren to be the most powerful force of good the world has ever seen; and though they didn't believe her at first, they become convinced when Prue witnesses herself moving objects and Piper freezing time and getting attacked by her warlock boyfriend Jeremy Burns. Phoebe receives a premonition of two teenagers getting hit by a car ten seconds before it happens, which allows her to prevent it. With all three together, they manage to tap into the Power of Three and vanquish Jeremy.

Unlike her sisters, she embraces her destiny as a Charmed One with open arms, and studies the Book of Shadows very carefully, which comes handy when they are hunted by a warlock named Matthew Tate, and she suggested to revive their ancestor, Melinda Warren. 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 learns to follow the rules, though she's made exceptions.

By becoming witches, Phoebe's relationship with Prue improves greatly throughout the season as they begin to talk more often and think of each other as close sisters instead of rivals; their relationship with Piper also progresses throughout the season. On one occasion, Piper goes to Hawaii for a conference and Phoebe and Prue are left to deal with an evil spirit.

Because she grew up without any memories of her parents, Phoebe had always wished to meet them. Her wish comes true when Victor returns to town for a short visit after 20 years of absence; and when they travel back to 1975 when their mom was still alive and pregnant with her. She tried to prevent her mom's death by slipping a note into the Book of Shadows, but changed her mind later since she figured that she had to let go of the past.

Since she was the only sister who was born in the house, she became more connected to the house's spiritual nexus under it, which has the power to strengthen both good and evil. In 1980, Phoebe witnessed her grams fight a demon known as the "Woogyman" in the basement. Ever since then, she had been afraid of going to the basement. On the 1999 earthquake, the woogyman escaped its prison and tried to take over the house by possessing Phoebe.

Though she was under its control, Prue and Piper manage to persuade her fight back the power. Phoebe used the spell that grams taught her to banish the demon again. Later, Phoebe added the spell into the Book of Shadows for security incase the demon resurfaces again.

Phoebe and Piper once fought for the affection of handyman Leo Wyatt, but she held no grudge when he chose Piper over her; she even encouraged her sister to ask him out on a date. She later finds out that he is a whitelighter, a race of guardian angels for good witches and future whitelighters. She tries to reveal this to her sisters despite him begging not to tell, but Prue and Piper dismiss it until he orbs into the Manor, poisoned and injured.

On one occasion, her ex boyfriend, Clay, comes to town after he stole a cursed Egyptian Urn to persuade Prue to sell it. He tries to re-ignite the old flame, but though he succeeds, Prue discovers that the urn is really stolen and reports this to Phoebe. When she goes to confront him, she makes him realize the deep hole he'd left in Phoebe because of his past mistakes, and tries to turn himself in. When the guardian of the urn attempts to attack Phoebe, Clay shields her with his arm; this selfless act freed him from the urn's curse and he left town after a private conversation with Phoebe.

At the end of the season, Phoebe dies twice, but because of the survival of her sisters, the sorcerer Tempus rewinds time both times to ensure the demon Rodriguez learn from his mistakes in order to kill them all. Phoebe's power of premonition allows her to retain her memories of both times and is able to convince her sisters about the time loop. Though they succeed in ending the time loop, they lose a dear friend: Andy Trudeau.

Season 2


In season 2, Phoebe assists her sister Prue in understanding that she is not to blame for Andy's death. Phoebe's personality becomes more maturing as well as her knowledge in witchcraft. She begins to create her own spells; her first being a spell to become smart. At first, when the Charmed Ones get a new neighbor, Dan Gordon, Phoebe expresses interest in him but Dan ultimately ends up being interested in Piper. Phoebe and her sisters discover that their Grams assists them by turning the pages of the Book of Shadows when they need to acquire information about demons or other magical beings. She tries her luck at finding a new job but is relatively turned off by the fact she is not educated enough to obtain the jobs she wants to have. She returns to college mid-season, trying hard to keep her studies stable and maintain a relatively normal life.

When Piper feels torn between Leo and Dan, she secretly casts a spell to guide her heart, and the result is Leo.

She, along with Prue and Piper, are forced to face the lake that their mother died in and the demon that killed her. She blames her former whitelighter, Sam for not being able to prevent her death, but eventually learns to cope. Since Sam was frozen when Patty died, Phoebe is forced to relive her last moment and observe what she planned to do in order to vanquish the demon. With her vision and everyone's strategy, they succeed to avenge her.

Though she is close to the people around her, she also has an emotion blockage that seals her away from love, preventing her from finding it for herself. This comes from all the sadness of loss that she had dealt with over the years, that made her feel scared of opening up to love. When a Cupid arrives to ask for her help after a demon stole his magic ring, she uses her experience of this fear to guide the couples that have been broken by him.

Near the end of the season, she faces the challenge of college finals. While studying at the public library, she meets a college student named Charlene Hughes, who has been studying the existence of demons. The next day, she learns of Charlene's death shortly before her spirit appears to her. She helps her move on by vanquishing the demon that killed her and make a pawnshop owner confess that he'd murdered another girl. Though this has taken away her time for the day, she still manages to pass the finals.

Piper and Phoebe face the trial of losing their sister for the greater good when Prue and one of the four Horsemen of the apocalypse become trapped in another dimension. Though they are determined to reverse the spell and free them both at first, she realizes that they will hand the world to destruction if they proceed and change their mind together. When the Source of All Evil begins to destroy the remaining horsemen, Phoebe and Piper free Prue and the fourth horseman, allowing them to save the world without losing their sister.

After defeating the Four Horsemen, the Infernal Council sends a Genie and a powerful Dragon Warlock after the Charmed Ones. Phoebe is interested by the fact a genie offers them wishes but she knows that they are tricksters by nature. However, Phoebe accidentally is imbued with the Dragon's power of Flight and has a hard time learning to harness the power, but when the Dragon attack she is successfully able to concentrate and fly him to a park where she drops the Dragon and returns to Halliwell Manor. The genie also tricked Prue into making a wish that she was younger again, causing her to revert to her teenage self. The Dragon seeks the Halliwell sisters to get his power of Flight back and uses Prue as a means to that end. The Dragon successfully kills Prue but after a battle, Phoebe is able to wish Prue alive again and the Dragon is successfully destroyed.

Season 3


At the beginning of the third season, Phoebe receives the active power of levitation, which allows her to float in midair. She meets Cole Turner, a half-demon known as "Belthazor" sent by the Triad to kill her and her sisters. They eventually fall in love intimately, prompting Cole to fail his mission to protect her. The eventual discovery of his true identity complicates her relationship with her sisters when she fakes his death to protect him. The guilt of lying to them motivates her to eventually tell the truth, first with Leo, and then Piper and Prue. Prue is the only one who's more mad at her betrayal than anyone else.

A few months later, Cole returns to San Francisco while hiding from demonic agents, and starts to do good deeds to be with Phoebe. Though she is dismissive of him at first, she is persuaded when he takes Prue to another dimension to save her, and ultimately changes everyone's minds.

Phoebe is left the only sister standing when Prue accidentally ruins Piper and Leo's long-waited wedding by leaving the house in astral projective form. Through her astral self, Phoebe is able to discover the source of the constant astral projecting and tell her to start living her own life instead of dedicating herself to the family and the Charmed Ones. She also learns from this experience that Prue's inner self actually rooted for her for faking Cole's death, because she did it all to protect her love.

Phoebe also shares a Psychic Echo with a Native American known as Bo Lightfeather who was trapped within a Time Loop by an evil man called Sutter. While touring an Old West property with her father, Victor, Phoebe experiences her first Echo and receives a bloody lip. Everything that happened to Bo in the Time Loop, Phoebe experienced, including being shot. Phoebe and her sisters managed to free those trapped within the Loop and she never experiences an Echo again.

When Phoebe and Prue are hunting evil beings, they encounter a Demonic Infector who carries a box of each of the Seven Deadly Sins. Phoebe unfortunately is infected with the sin of Lust and becomes unable to control her desire for men and sexual relationships. She ends up enamored with a police officer who winds up being infected with Anger and he becomes violent with Phoebe and her sisters when Phoebe refuses to be with him. The sin ball is later removed when Phoebe overcomes it.

Near the end of the season, she manages to graduate with a degree in psychology. Cole makes up his mind to lose his powers forever in order to be with her, but it is forced to delay when the Brotherhood of the Thorn attempts to emerge with the human society and Cole infiltrates their base as an agent. Though they manage to stop the Brotherhood from fulfilling their plans, Cole gets captured and his intentions are revealed by the leader, Raynor, who was also Cole's mentor.

By making Phoebe witness Cole's assassination of a witch, Raynor destroys the subject that keeps him good, turning him back to evil once more. When a banshee begins to roam around town, preying on people in pain, Phoebe, Piper and Prue track her down before she could hurt another innocent. This encounter, however, allows the demon to feel the pain hidden within Phoebe and uses it turn her into a Banshee as well. Piper then summons Cole to make Phoebe confront her root pain, which works and allows her to become a witch again. Knowing that it was Raynor's work to separate them, she decides to take him back into her arms again.

At the end of the season, Piper and Prue accidentally expose their powers on Live TV while fighting the demon Shax. Piper gets shot by an psychotic Wiccan practitioner while Phoebe goes to the Underworld to make Cole good again. When Leo tells her about the situation, she strikes a deal with the Source of All Evil; that she stays in the Underworld in exchange for the demonic sorcerer Tempus to rewind time to exactly the moment before Shax strikes.

Though time has reversed, Phoebe's absence allows Shax to successfully kill an innocent and send Prue and Piper flying through walls; this subsequently killed Prue, and the Power of Three broke. Phoebe managed to escape the Underworld with Leo and Cole's help.

Season 4


After the death of her sister Prue, Phoebe tried to remain strong and collected for Piper's sake. Even though Phoebe was torn up inside, she wanted to be there for Piper.

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 decides to team up with Cole to save Paige. They witness Paige inadvertently orb out from Shax's attacking power and find out that she is a whitelighter (which is only part true). They later discuss this with Leo, who finds the situation weird. With Cole's investigation, they find out that she is a potential Charmed One who may be able to reconstitute the Power of Three. They interrogate their grams and mom and find out that Paige is their younger half-sister, who was abandoned at birth for protection. They prepare to find their sister, but she is already in the house. When all three of them join hands, the Power of Three is recreated just before Shax arrives.

Phoebe and Piper convince Paige help them vanquish Prue's murderer, Shax. Paige becomes scared of them and runs off. After their successful mission to stop the Source of All Evil from turning Paige evil, she finally learns to adjust to her life as a witch and her part in the family. Unlike Piper, Phoebe welcomes their new sister with open arms while easily dealing with Prue's death. Aside from her job as the mediating sister, she also 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.

It took Cole and as well Phoebe to get used to Cole being human with no powers, at all but they eventually get through it .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.

Phoebe senses something is wrong, especially after feeling a premonition about Cole blocked by an unseen force (later revealed to be the Source). Unsure of whether to go through with the wedding, she summoned her past and future selves to help her decide. Her past self was immediately smitten by Cole, believing that he was the guy she'd always dreamed would sweep her off her feet. Her older self was initially reluctant to help, but later revealed to Cole that in her time, she'd gotten cold feet and it ultimately made Cole give in to the evil growing in him. When Kurzon, a longtime rival of the Source, tried to kill Cole, old Phoebe jumped in front of him, proving that she still loved him. This convinced Phoebe to go through with the wedding.

Cole then sabotaged his own wedding, held in late March 2002, in order to trick Phoebe into a dark wedding officiated by a dark priest. This was done after the Seer told him she'd foreseen Cole and Phoebe giving birth to a son who would be the most powerful magical child in history. He would have been born as a powerful good witch if Cole and Phoebe had been married in a normal way--which would have ended any chance of Cole being crowned. As a result of the dark wedding, however, the child would be pure demon.

Phoebe and Cole married, and Phoebe 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 Phoebe used her baby's powers to kill the Wizard. She then joined Cole as his queen. Phoebe 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, Phoebe rejoined her sisters in opposing Cole. Together they cast a spell which used the power of their ancestors to vanquish Cole.

Phoebe starts to hear Cole's voice in the wind. Later on, she encounters Cole in the Demonic Wasteland, where he begs her to use an evil spell to bring him all the way back to life. Phoebe is horrified; she is unwilling to ever use dark magic again and asks Cole to move on. However, Cole starts to communicate to her through a TV psychic. 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.

Season 5


By the beginning of season 5, Phoebe has become a famous advice columnist at the Bay Mirror, and her picture lands on a billboard in the city.

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. When the season first begins, she inadvertently becomes a mermaid when they cast a spell to locate one and decides to stay in the ocean to run away from her feelings for Cole. Paige figures out her problem and goes to recruit Cole's aid. Though he manages to make Phoebe 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 over giving herself to work at the Bay Mirror. She tries to solve this problem by going to a Gypsy fortune-teller, but also accidentally give her a premonition of a gypsy hunter. By balancing her time at work and 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.

After months of loneliness, Cole's heart becomes cold and cunning, and turns back to evil to increase his chance to be with Phoebe. He recruits several demons to plot a plan to make the sisters willingly hand over the Manor so he can take in the Nexus, which has the power to turn Phoebe evil again. Phoebe finds out about his plan and escapes his capture, then banishes the Nexus in Cole. In that moment, she realizes that she no longer loves Cole and declares with determination that they will vanquish him, and when they do she will never look back again.

Cole, blaming Paige's appearance as the start of the problem, becomes an Avatar to change history, thus creating a new time line where demons prevail the world, and Paige never reconstituted the Charmed Ones as she was killed by Shax. In this time line, Phoebe 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 time line by accident and is able to make things right by recreating the Power of Three again. Phoebe this time personally vanquishes her former lover.

Her and Phoebe go to an ice cave to investigate and Phoebe catches a premonition of two Ancient Greek Titans being freed. They later find out that the Titans are after whitelighters, and one of them almost gets to Paige until Chris suddenly orbs in and prevents her from being taken, but not before she's turned to stone.

Phoebe becomes the Goddess of Love, who can inflict the pheromones on men and bend them to her will.

Phoebe and Paige want Chris to go up and find Leo, but then Chris admits that Leo is missing, Phoebe was furious that he kept it a secret. Phoebe then breaks the news to Piper, who seems undisturbed that Leo was missing, which led 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 lead her into starting a brawl at the newspaper. but it was very useful in finding out when people were lieing and redirect 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's beginning to find some control. However she and Jason eventually broke up.

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 eight 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 propose. She accepted and 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 after she give birth their first child and daughter, P.J Halliwell. While she still worked for the Bay Mirror, she doesn't live in her condo anymore. She and Coop brought a house in the city and moved into it with P.J.

Phoebe kisses Coop on the cheek, telling him that he didn't have to beam her back just because she forgot her kiss. Coop tells her he didn't do a thing, but that it was all the work of their baby girl, P.J. As her baby kept repeated 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.

Phoebe regained her Empathy power while she was at work. She's is to officiating a mass wedding, as part of a publicity stunt put together for the paper by Elise because the newpaper is failing.

The sister's then orb back to magic school. The sisters realize that calling on the power of the Warren line, they'll use the power of "all white magic practitioners in the realm." Meanwhile the Source is attacking, trying to break through the magical barrier. Piper sends Paige off to collect a bit of magic from every magical being and Phoebe to go through the Book of Shadows and create a more powerful spell than the Power of Three, while Piper and Coop travel back to the attic and retrieves Excalibur.

Later In Magic School, the Charmed Ones and their husbands are parting ways, but Coop wants to stay and help Phoebe. However, Phoebe 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, with Phoebe using a potion, Piper stabbing the Source with Excalibur and Paige tossing a bottle with the collected magic. With the spell -- "The Power of Three we now decree! The Power of Three will set you free! The Power of Three will DESTROY thee!" --The Source explodes. With the Source finally vanquished, Phoebe and her sisters return to San Francisco.

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

- 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. That her power evolved into Pathokinesis and she could project emotions onto someone and kill 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.

First Wedding Anniversary
"Cupids Temple, my favorite view of the Italian Coast line"

- Coop took Pheobe 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.

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, the sisters were finally able to have normal lives (they still helped innocents, but things became much calmer than the girls' 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. Also their three daughters will eventually have children of their own, providing her and Coop with grandchildren of their own.

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.

Psychic
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.

Prue Halliwell's Assistant
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.

SWA Properties
In From Fear to Eternity, Phoebe is hired as a secretary at SWA Properties. Her new boss, having an affair with another man, instructed Phoebe to lie to her husband if he were to call or visit. Unable to lie, she quit her job to keep her self-respect.

College Student
Later, she decided to go to college. She went through a year and a half studying psychology, and eventually graduated in late season 3. Phoebe then eventually goes back to college to improve her advice column in Season 7, although it is unknown what ever happens after.

Ask Phoebe
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.

Appearance
Phoebe's appearance underwent more changes than any of the other characters in the series. In the first season she has a bob hairstyle and dresses in teenage style. She also favors black dresses when going out. Her hair grows longer as the season progresses. In season two she appears with a tan and her hair has grown longer. Her dress sense is more fashionable. Near the end of the season she starts to wear glasses for reading ("How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans"). She also is seen with a pierced bellybutton. In season three she goes blonde with Prue's help and begins to wear more denim and leather. In "Wrestling With Demons" she temporarily goes brunette again due to a lost-and-found spell. After the spell is reversed she goes back to her blonde hair, which steadily darkens as the rest of the season progresses.

In season four Phoebe's look changes several times to reflect her inner changes. Her hair, now quite long, gradually begins darkening after she accepts Cole's proposal. She also began wearing long bangs ("Lost and Bound"). When the Source is vanquished, Phoebe cuts her hair shoulder length with a tiny fringe ("The Three Faces of Phoebe"). Towards the end of season 4 when she goes partially evil, her hair goes to an almost black hue and she wears plenty of black clothes and dark colors during her brief reign as Queen. Even after renouncing her crown, her hair remains dark brown. In season five, her hair retains its dark color and is layered, growing longer as the season progresses. She also wears it up in hairnets on a few occasions ("Baby's First Demon", "Cat House", "Oh My Goddess"). Her dress sense becomes more risque.

In season six Phoebe's look has the most drastic change; she cuts her hair pixie short and wears a lot of skimpy clothes which show off her large number of tattoos. She also has a pierced nose. She allows her hair to grow and has it in curls and ponytails for most of season seven. By season eight Phoebe's hair has grown long again and she wears less revealing outfits, developing a fondness for ethnic designs and patterns. Her future self is shown to have waist-length curly hair in the same color and she can be seen wearing a suit to work.

Notable Occurrences

 * Phoebe briefly swapped powers with her sister Prue, and gained the ability to move objects with her mind. She also swapped bodies with Paige and almost swapped powers with Piper.
 * Before Phoebe gained her first defensive power (levitation), she often thought that when her power's did advance she would develop something like flying, which she did, on three instances. Firstly with the theft of the dragon demon's power of flying which she gained at the genie's hand, then when she went to the past she learned to fly on a broomstic and once more when she gained the ability to levitate.
 * Phoebe once received hot flashes that were linked to the Succubus, which led the sisters to cast a spell to transform Prue into a man. She also received physical wounds from her psychic connection to Bo Lightfeather, which led to her being beaten.
 * She once killed demons using a Power-Sucking Athame, and temporarily gained the ability to shimmer and throw energy balls.
 * Phoebe had befriended Kyra the Seer, as Kyra showed her her future daughter, thanks to the Avatars. Only a short time before she was going to help Kyra lead a normal, mortal life, Kyra was unfortunately vanquished by the demon Zankou.
 * Cole put Grams' ring on Phoebe once, without knowing that it had a curse on it. Phoebe temporarily became the 1950's housewife that she feared she might turn into by marrying anyone.
 * Phoebe is mentioned briefly in the movie "Big Fat Liar" where Amanda Bynes said "I was watching Charmed on the WB last night and right when Alyssa Milano was about to cast a spell on her super cute demon boyfriend..."
 * There are several instances on the show that have led to speculation that Phoebe's soul may have some dark leanings: being born in the Manor on the spiritual Nexus, which can be swayed towards good or evil (just like her nephew, Wyatt, who went evil in an alternate timeline); her being the first to be possessed by the Woogyman in Is There a Woogy in the House?; her past life as P. Russell where she was swayed to evil by her warlock lover Anton; her becoming Queen of the Underworld in season four; and her alternate future as shown in Morality Bites, where she was executed for using her powers to punish the guilty.
 * Everytime Phoebe has been shown to be truly evil she has had the ability to throw streams of fire. The first time she was shown to do this was in her past life. Back then pyrokinesis was her gift. The second time was when she was pregnant with Cole's baby/The Source's heir. It is possible that Phoebe has retained this from her past life and kept it as a latent ability that only manifests when she is truly evil. This is supported by the fact that Piper retained her past life power (Molecular Immobilization). It could be that because Piper was good in both her past and present lives it stayed as her active power in both but because Phoebe's soul switched sides then her power changed to premontions with firethrowing staying latent until she turns evil again.

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.
