Melinda Halliwell

Prudence Melinda Halliwell who is also known as just Melinda is the youngest child, and only daughter of Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt. She is the baby sister of Wyatt and Chris Halliwell. Melinda is the first female witch to be born into the Warren line of witches, since Paige Matthews.

Pre-Birth and Birth
When Piper Halliwell was pregnant of her first child, Wyatt, she initially thought she would have a baby girl. Leo as well as Phoebe and Paige thought this as well since Piper had seen her daughter in the future she visited in 1999. It wasn't until Piper gave birth that they all discovered that her first child would be a boy.

Piper was pregnat with Melinda in Phoebe's wedding. Melinda was born somewhere in 2007, almost a year after the Ultimate Battle.

Coming Into Her Powers
"How did those potion bottles get up there?"

- Piper when she sees the knocked over potion bottles above her soup.

Melinda came into her powers about a year after her birth. She had conjured a couple of potion bottles above mother's soup, causing the soup to create vines that attacked her as well as her mother. Melinda enjoyed the spectacle, but Piper had to call in the help of her two sons Wyatt and Chris to help her fix everything.

Altering the Twice-Blessed Prophecy
"The Elders hoped to alter the prophecy of the Twice-Blessed. That the firstborn children of the family would inherit the Power of Three. Making Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda an even more powerful force for good than the Charmed Ones."

- Kyle to Leo and Paige.

A little more then a year after her birth, the Elders were replaced by a new group of Elders. These Elders tried to alter the prophecy of the Twice-Blessed Child. They wanted to make Chris and Melinda twice blessed as well, which would allow for a more powerful Power of Three to exist after the first generation of Charmed Ones.

The Altered 2009
"Don't worry, mommy. I promise I'll do what you ask. I won't use my magic again, ever."

- Melinda making a promise to her mother.

When the Charmed Ones traveled to 2009 to visit their future selves, Piper discovered that she had a little girl, Melinda. Although she is the youngest child of Piper and Leo, in this future she was the oldest and only child of the couple.

In the wake of Nathaniel Pratt's witch hunt taking over this future, her parents had forbidden Melinda from using her powers, in order to protect her.

In this future, her name was Melinda Wyatt, taking her father's surname. Because Leo still a Whitelighter in this future, Melinda was probably a half Whitelighter as well.

The Dark Future
No evidence of Melinda's existence during the Dark Future was ever given. However, Chris' testimony that their father was never there for him makes it likely for Melinda never to have been born, since the reason why Leo was never there for Chris was because his work as an Elder took him away from his family too much.
