THIS IS MY SANDBOX - PLEASE DO NOT EDIT

''I'm trying to give the pages for the sisters a new, better look and shorten the contents list, which is becoming longer then the infoboxes of the sisters. Images will be put in place once the basic structure is right.''

What I'm currently doing: I'm decided to rewrite the whole article, or attempt it anyway.

"You're the heart of this family, Piper."

- Patty talking to Piper about how she sees her.

Piper Halliwell was originally the middle sister of the Charmed Ones, later becoming the eldest sister after her elder sister Prue died. She was the voice of reason between Prue and Phoebe, the most devastated upon Prue's death, and the first magical mentor of Paige Matthews upon discovering the latter's place in her family. She is married to her former whitelighter, Leo Wyatt and is the mother of three children, Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda Halliwell. Her mother describes her as "the heart" of the Halliwell family. Piper is viewed as the main character of Charmed and is considered to be the most powerful of the Charmed Ones.

Early Life
Piper was born on June 7th, 1973 to a Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett. On march 24th, 1975 she was visited by her future self who together with the future selves of her older and younger sisters tried to unbind the bond that her mother had made with the warlock Nicholas. She promised him the powers of her daughters and had granted him immunity from those powers by blessing his ring.

In November 1975, Piper and her older sister Prue Halliwell welcomed their little sister Phoebe Halliwell onto the world. Not long after her birth, their grandmother, Penny bound their powers in order to keep them save from Nicholas.

In her teen years, Piper didn't quite know where she fit in, according to Prue she was like the Jan Brady. An old classmate of hers also recalled that Piper liked to sit in the back of the class, drawing on her jeans.

Basic Powers

 * Spellcasting: The ability to cast spells and perform rituals.
 * Potion making: The ability to brew potions. One of Piper's finest skills.
 * Scrying: The ability to scry for a person or object by the use of a scrying crystal and a map.

Active Powers

 * Molecular Immobilization: The ability to slow molecules down to the point that they freeze. This is Piper's primary power which she channels through her hands.
 * Molecular Combustion: The ability to speed up molecules to the point that they combust. Piper gained this power two years after the reawakening of the Charmed Ones. It is considered Piper's strongest and most used power.
 * Molecular Acceleration: The ability to reverberate molecules at a speed which causes them to become disordered, resulting in the liquefaction of solid objects and is often reffered to simply as melting. Piper gained this ability in 2008 when she wanted to blow up the Source of All Evil in the form of a Golem.

Other Powers

 * The Power of Three: The collective power of Piper and her sisters which enhances her powers.
 * High Resistance: This power is only active when Piper is in unity with her sisters.
 * Temporary Powers: Powers that Piper temporarily gained when she was transformed into or swapped powers with other beings.

Personality
Piper is described as the most kind, caring, and maternal of the four sisters. She can be very sarcastic and quick-witted, a trait likely acquired from years of looking up to Prue. Piper grew from the meek, shy and very much arbiter middle sister, to a confident, charge-taking, quite comedic cynical woman.

Etymology

 * Piper: A name that came from a surname given to those who played the flute pipe.


 * Halliwell: Derived 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.
