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 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 rebellion 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 reblious 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 their grams 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 bartending 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.

Charmed Life
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 and a bag with her own clothes. 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 outloud, the Charmed Ones receive their Wiccan powers. The next day, she tries to convince her sisters that they are witches prophesized 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, even encouraging 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 to 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 accidently 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 imtimately, 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 projtective 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 inadverdantly 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 forseen 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 fortuner-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 timeline where demons prevail the world, and Paige never reconstituted the Charmed Ones as she was killed by Shax. In this timeline, 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 timeline by accident and is able to make things right by recreating the Power of Three again. Phoebe this time personally vanquishes her former lover. A while after Cole's death, Phoebe helps Piper deliver the newborn Wyatt Halliwell, saving their next generation of Halliwell magic from the clutches of evil. She initially dislikes her new boss, Jason Dean, but develops a relationship with him. Jason decides to move to Hong Kong for business and asks Phoebe to go with him, and though she agrees at first, she finds her place with her family.

At the end of season 5, Paige starts having dreams about a serious matter that could affect the entire world. 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.

After Paige was freed and the Titans killed most of the Elders, Leo turns the sisters into Greek Goddesses to help them fight the enemies. Phoebe becomes the Goddess of Love, who can inflict the pheromones on men and bend them to her will. She uses the power of Luring to make men at an auction for the Bay Mirror bid incessantly on her and later attempts to seduce the Titan Demetrius in an attempt to vanquish the Titans. Though they succeed in vanquishing the Titans, they have to deal with one major loss: Leo, who has become an Elder as a reward for his good deeds during the crisis.

Season 6

In season six, a few months after Phoebe and her sisters destroyed the Titans, Phoebe gained the new power of Empathy and realizes that Piper is sad in spite of her apparently happy mood. 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.

Meanwhile, her new empathy power is driving her crazy and starting a brawl at the newspaper. Jason is in town again and Phoebe's empathy is still too strong for her to be close to him, but she's beginning to find some control. She moved to Hong Kong to be with Jason, however she's sacred to admit to Jason that she is a witch, but he quickly found out when the sisters orb in front of him. Jason can't handle the fact that Phoebe was a witch and they broke up. Phoebe visited Magic School at he bequest of a Elder named Gideon, there she saw and followed a wolf which lead her to Enola the shaman, a student at the school, who sent Phoebe on a vision quest to help her see her own future more clearly. On her quest, Phoebe finally managed to reach the portal that took her to the future. There she saw Piper, an older Wyatt, and a younger boy that turns out to be Piper's second son. Paige had become a teacher at the school, Phoebe is pregnant with a little girl, and they are living a life without demons. Wyatt's brother approaches her, saying, "Aunt Phoebe, we need your help," and she is returned to the present to hear Chris asking, "Phoebe, can you hear me? We need your help." Phoebe thus becomes the first one to find out that Chris Perry is actually Chris Halliwell, her nephew and Piper and Leo's second son.

Chris tries to enlist Phoebe's help to get his parents back together, but Phoebe feels that meddling with Piper and Leo's relationship would be wrong. As Chris tries to persuade his aunt to join his cause, Phoebe gets a premonition and they go to a Middle Eastern desert where they rescue a female genie named Jinny from her demonic master. Jinny says that she wrote to Phoebe because her former master, Bosk, is trying to raise an ancient demonic city – the lost city of Zanbar – and she thought that if Phoebe became her master, Phoebe would wish her free so that Bosk could not use her to resurrect the city.

Bosk soon attacked the manor, and because of a protective amulet that blocked her vanquishing potion, Phoebe wished Jinny free. Apparently, Jinny was actually a Demon, and she could only be freed only at the expense of the one who freed her, so now Phoebe would have to pay the price: she had become a Genie herself, with Chris as her new master. Chris accidentally wished for Leo to get over his issues with Chris, and Phoebe made Leo become very friendly toward Chris. Chris decided to take advantage of the situation and wished for Piper and Leo to sleep together and it worked, just not as he planned: Piper and Leo fall asleep on the floor. Richard Montana takes the genie bottle, with Phoebe in it, and attempts to use it to have Paige love him forever. To make up for his mistake, Richard wishes Phoebe free, and Phoebe and Paige manage to get Jinny back in the bottle.

Phoebe told Piper and Leo that Chris was infact their son, she was the most emotional affected when it came time for him to return back to the future. However when her and her sisters tried to him back to his time, they were tricked by Gideon into sending him and Leo through a portal into an Evil Parallel World and in the process bring their evil counterparts into the Original World. With Piper heavily pregnant it was left up to her and Paige to rescue them. Phoebe and Paige find evil Leo and Chris roughing up Darryl; they hope to use him to bring the Charmed Ones to them. While Phoebe distracts evil Leo and Chris, Paige traps them in the crystal cage. Darryl, still on the outs with the sisters, flees. They then brought evil Leo and Chris back to Magic School. Gideon then suggests that the sisters go to the mirror world and find their Leo and Chris. Paige and Phoebe go, but their evil counterparts don't come back through. Evil Gideon warns the good sisters that the cosmic balance is at risk, and they must move quickly. Paige and Phoebe orb in -- and are met by their evil twins. Evil Paige conjures her crossbow and shoots at good Paige, who orbs the bolts away. The two Phoebes trade blows and neither gets the upper hand (even though evil Phoebe has brass knuckles); they're not only evenly matched, but are thinking exactly the same. They eventually figured out that Gideon is Evil and that he's the one that after Wyatt. With four sisters available, the two sets of sisters open a portal and good Leo and Chris come back to the good world, just in time to save Wyatt. But not before the Cosmic Balance was thrown off, making the Evil World too Evil and the Good World too Good

Phoebe was then shot for parking in Mrs. Noble's driveway, but Leo heals her in time. At Magic School, Phoebe and Paige try to contact their evil counterparts. The Phoebes and Paiges think that if they can snap their Pipers back to themselves and get the evil sisters in the good world, they might be able to shift the balance back. However with Chris and Piper both in danger, Phoebe suggested that Paige help him and Leo while she stays and help Piper. Shortly after the world began to change back to normal and Gideon is electrocuted and killed by Leo. Back at the hospital, Phoebe, Paige, Leo and Wyatt see a healthy baby Chris, and are relieved to find out that Piper made it.

Season 7



Phoebe decides to take a Sabbatical from her job at The Bay Mirror causing Elise to hire Leslie St. Claire, a ghost writer to continue writing Phoebe's column. At first Phoebe finds Leslie annoying and unsuitable for the job because he is a man. They have strong desires for one another but the fling ended when Leslie had to move back to Los Angeles.

Phoebe and her sisters come across a new magical threat, a powerful demon known as Zankou who was imprisoned centuries ago by The Source of All Evil but was then released in 2005 by a group of demons in an attempt to prevent the Gathering Storm - the creation of Utopia by the Avatars. After hearing about the Gathering Storm, a demonic Seer known as Kyra seeks protection from the demon world in exchange for information she has regarding the looming Avatar threat. Kyra offers the information to the Charmed Ones if they persuade the Elders to make her human. Phoebe and her sisters agree to this and Kyra soon shows Phoebe a vision of the future she had of Phoebe living in a demon free world talking to her future daughter. But just as the sisters were about to make Kyra human, Zankou shapeshifted into Phoebe and destroyed Kyra.

After the incident involving Kyra, the sisters decide to side with the Avatars and assist with the creation of Utopia. However, this Utopia is soon obliterated when Phoebe learns that the Avatars are eliminating humans who cause problems in the new world and how the Avatars are preventing everyone from feeling pain. Phoebe has a premonition recalling all the painful occurrences in her life and convinces her sisters that the world they created is not a Utopia at all. Phoebe and her sisters convince the Avatars to restore the world to how it was before. Phoebe then falls for Drake dè Mon, an ex-Mercury demon who wants to become a teacher at Magic School. They had chemistry indeed but the only problem was he only had a couple of weeks to live. It was revealed that Drake was sent by Cole to help Phoebe not to give up on love. Drake did more than that though, he revealed to Cole seconds before he died that he fell in love with Phoebe.

Phoebe is then the object of a vile Demonic Sorceress known as Imara who swaps bodies with Phoebe for power, beauty and respect in the Underworld and to prevent Zankou from rising to power. She is found outand removed from Phoebe's body forthwith. After which Zankou sends a demon to attack Phoebe and a fellow classmate, Tim, who ends up getting killed. Phoebe is then left guilt ridden because Zankou makes it appear Tim was killed just for knowing Phoebe.

Phoebe, Piper and Paige discover what Zankou is up to, restore their bond with the Book and locate a spell in it to Banish the Nexus. When Zankou takes in the Nexus, the girls astral selves recite the spell destroying Zankou and making it appear as if they died in the blast.

Season 8

When 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. 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, Phoebe and her sisters returned to their normal lives.

Phoebe got her old job back and was dating a guy named Dex Lawson, who she had a premonition of marrying. She did marry Dex while under a spell from her ward Billie Jenkins. The marriage was annulled since both participants were not in their right state of mind. Phoebe was no longer romancing Dex. Phoebe lost her faith in her gift, until she had another premonition of the future. She was talking to her older self 6 years from now, and she was still supposed to have a 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 irrated that the Elders would think she needed help find love, but Coop knew that she was just sacred because of all her pervious heartbreaks and disappointments and reaasure her that her Future daughter was Destined.

Phoebe's continued reluctances and Coop's persistence lead 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. However, she found out from future Wyatt that Elders actually sent Coop to her, in the hopes that she would fall in love with him and that "It wasn't, and it will never be, a forbidden love."

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. She and her sisters had to hide out in the Underworld, as the Magic community had turned their backs on them. Feeling 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 using Coop's ring, travelled through time and with the her mother and Grams, prevented the deaths of Phoebe, Paige and Christy. When the sisters found out that Christy and a demon named Dumain were going back in time to change the past to their advantage. Phoebe and her sisters, with a now redeemed Billie travel back in time again to prevented it from happening and vanquish the Triad once and for all. Realizing Christy had manipulated her, Billie deflects her fireball aimed at the sisters, killing Christy. Leo is returned, and the family present - Phoebe, her sisters, Grams, Patty, Wyatt, Chris, Leo and Coop rejoice in their final victory.

Afterwards, when everything turned back the way it should be. Phoebe including her sisters wrote 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. Phoebe later married Coop the Cupid at Magic School and together they have three daughter.



Later 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.

The Charmed Comics Phoebe still works for the Bay Mirror, but doesn't live in her condo anymore. Phoebe is now the mother of her first child, Prudence Johnna Halliwell. In Charmed Lives, Phoebe is looking for her keys. She's already late for work and fears that Elise might fire her if she's even later. Coop finds her keys and hands them over. As Phoebe leaves for work, Coop stands at the front door, watching her walk to work as suddenly she is beamed back to him. 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, Prue. Phoebe is troubled. She does not want to leave her baby girl and she is a bit jealous that even her child has a better power, even if she is half Cupid. Coop suggest to call in sick but Phoebe refuses. She has got to go to work. But just as she closes the front door and leaves again, she is beamed right back to Coop and her daughter Prue. Phoebe sighs, telling herself and Coop that this might become a problem. Later that day. Phoebe walks into the living room of the Manor. She sees Piper enjoying some pizza and wonders what happened to the Food Tasting. Piper jokingly says that "The meal didn't agree with her." She tells that Melinda is coming into her powers. Phoebe says she knows the feeling and says baby Prue kept teleporting her repeatedly.

Sometime later, Phoebe and Piper are attending their friend Brittany's funeral, Phoebe 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, Piper thinks there most be a mistake because they vanquished Javna almost a decade ago, Piper then freezes the crowd around Brittany's coffin and opens it and she sees that Phoebe was right. Phoebe & Piper then return to the Halliwell Manor to search the Book of Shadows for answers, without much success. Just then Paige orbs in and Phoebe begin to fill Paige 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 Piper & Paige are trying to locate all the people that the sisters once saved, Phoebe reluntantly returns to 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. Phoebe's reluctant, until her empathy power kicks in and she feels the incredible love of one of the couples that turned out to be Romeo &amp; Juliet. Later when Phoebe got home, she shares the happy news that her powers are back. Meanwhile Piper & Paige have gathered all their innocents in the Manor for protection, including Tyler Michaels and Max Franklin. In the manor, Phoebe and Paige are taking care of their mortal innocents, while the magic-wielding ones sent to Magic School. Meanwhile The Source is using Hogan's discord power to turn all mortals against the Charmed Ones forcing Phoebe, Coop, Paige and Henry to retreat to magic school. Shortly-after, Piper arrives home an she sees the chaos inside the manor, she immediately calls for Phoebe and Paige both of whom orb in behind her just as The Source shows up.

The Source reintroduce himself to the sisters and then procede to attack the sisters on the street outside the manor with fireballs, which Paige eventually blocks with her orb shield and Phoebe dodge by levitating. The sister's then realized that they needed the Book of Shadows to defeat him, just as The Source tosses an enormous fireball at the girls, Piper uses Molecular Acceleration which melts the street, holding The Source in place long enough for Paige to orb them back to Magic School, narrowly missing the huge fireball. Back at Magic School the sister's explained all that had happened, Leo then explains that there must always be a "source of evil" as long as evil exists in the world. Piper dismisses this and vow that they will defeat The Source once and for all.

The sisters realize that Piper's new Molecular Acceleration power and even the Power of Three, aren't strong enough to destroy the Source. Piper thinks that rather than just 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 that they have every helped, with a Phosphorus Cauldron bowl that the demons left at magic school, which can contain all forms of magic. Piper tells 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 and Paige continues to collect magic from everyone within the Magical Realms. Phoebe finishes her version of the perfect spell and Piper agrees it's perfect. 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. Sending everyone away just in time, as The Source breaks in. A 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. But at the same time, in the underworld, Neena is casting a spell that unites the demons, vampires, darklighters, etc., to serve her needs. However, with the Source finally vanquished, Phoebe and her sisters return to San Francisco, where Piper is showing off the new space for her restaurant.

Powers & Abilities
Phoebe was the one who bestowed the Charmed Ones with their powers through the "Dominus Trinus" spell. Unlike her sisters, Phoebe embraced her destiny with open arms, but unfortunately for her, she gained the power of premonition which, although useful, was not the active power she desired, and so was less able to practice her power as readily as either of her sisters could. This lead to her experimenting a lot with spells, to the point where Prue even nicknamed her in one episode "Little Miss Spell of the Week". Because of the fact that she was the one who researched and experimented with spells the most, she became the Charmed One who was most proficient at writing and casting spells. In fact, her sisters all depended heavily on her to author spells for them, something which even continued into the end of the series, and is now generally recognized as the primary spell-caster, just as Piper known as the primary potion-maker. She has also shown the ability to do non-verbal spells and cast spells that only require a few words that don't even rhyme like in Hyde School Reunion

Despite her being a Charmed One, Phoebe was considered by many forces of good and evil to be the weakest of the Charmed Ones because of her inferior powers. To be able to defend herself in a fight, she began to train herself in various forms of martial arts. However, Phoebe's powers continued to evolve and her Intuitive powers became legendary within demonic circle's, so much so that demons are hesitant to attack her and would much rather go after her sister's, Piper and Paige because they're less intuitive. With just the combination of her Intuition, levitation ability and her  advanced combat skills, she became a formidable witch.

Premonition Phoebe's first ability was the power of premonition, a passive power that allowed her to see the future. She triggers this power when she touches or is in presence of something that has to do with what her premonition is about. This power was initially uncontrollable, but in later seasons if she wanted or pleaded for a premonition, she usually got it. However, Phoebe's premonition power evolved and she is now able to receive visions at will and remain lucid. While her premonitions are shown as black and white on the show, it is mentioned several times that Phoebe experiences them in colour. As her power grew, her premonitions became more vivid to where they become slightly colored and she can hear and feel what is going on (literally) and to hold her premonition longer.

Her premonitions are triggered by objects or strong psychic auras. This originally only encompassed precognition, to see the future, but grew to include retrocognition, to see the past. Phoebe also developed the skill to trigger a vision in somebody else with similar powers, "sharing" visions with Elders and knowing how to trigger a specific "trap" premonition in someone who had stolen her powers, like she did to Mitzy Stillman in The Power Of Three Blondes. Kyra, a powerful demonic seer, told Phoebe her powers were once limited to psychometry but they grew, like Phoebe's would in time. Phoebe's premonition powers also grew to her visions always revealing the truth, and in Ordinary Witches, it granted her enhanced intuition as she was hiding to anticipate when demons were firing fireballs, and in many instances Phoebe has sidestepped and jumped out of the way of incoming fireballs and energy balls with perfect timing.

By far the most powerful evolvement of this ability seemed to be astral premonition, which was first seen in "The Eyes Have It". This is the ability to actually project oneself into the future and physically experience future events. This means that unlike her normal visions, Phoebe was no longer the unseen observer and could be observed and interacted with by others. Orin first demonstrates this when he shoots her with his power of Optical Thermodynamics, an injury her astral self sustains but which she took back with her, to the present. This new power is seen only three more times during the series run of Charmed, Sand Francisco Dreamin', where Phoebe projects herself to the future scene of a sandman's murder while she sleeps, and The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell, where Phoebe goes on a vision quest to find out how her future will become, during her initial visions she gets attacked by demons and brings the wounds back to the present but eventually sees her true future where she is pregnant and that Piper has two sons, and subsequently figures out that Chris is the son that Leo and Piper will have soon, and Hulkus Pulkus, where Phoebe's visions forces her to astrally project into the the future where she meets a future version of herself. The older Phoebe interacts with her younger self and says she knew she'd be there, once again showing she is actually projecting into the future rather than seeing it.

In the Charmed Comic, No Rest for the Wicca Phoebe is able to see into Brittany Reynolds's coffin simply by placing her fingertips on the lid, perhaps suggesting that Phoebe could see through into other rooms if she so desired. She also receives a premonition of multiple innocents in danger without touching anything. Phoebe can use her Premonition and Levitation powers simultaneously.

Dissatisfaction During the first season Phoebe was very unhappy with her only power being completely passive, unable to really help her fight demons in combat like Piper or Prue. Although her father, Victor, told her it was one of the most rare and desired amongst demons she countered this with "What if what you see isn't what you desire", showing that sometimes she even sees her power as a curse. Although this statement could have been directed at Victor because of the premonition Phoebe had of him stealing the Book of Shadows.

Although eventually she did realize how useful her power was when her premonition helped the Charmed Ones discover that FBI agent Ashley Fallon was really the Wendigo, she nevertheless began taking classes in self-defense, and eventually became very accomplished in hand-to-hand combat. Although being trained in self defense is not a magical talent, Phoebe has often considered it one and even listed it as a substitute for her premonition power in "Awakened" and on occasion it has proven more useful than any power the sisters could possibly possess. For example, when she was disempowered or similarly disarmed, she could always rely on her martial arts training to defend herself.

Levitation Still, despite her coming to terms with her premonition power at the end of season two, at the start of the next season, Phoebe obtained her first active power of levitation or "the ability to defy gravity and float in the air (but not fly)". This power was slightly uncontrollable when she first obtained it but she later gained complete control over it. She cannot usually move horizontally, and in "Once Upon a Time" Prue has to use her telekinesis to move Phoebe over to another side of a cave while she was levitating. Phoebe usually mixed her martial arts and kick boxing with her levitating power to knock out her enemies. In season four, she was able to glide short distances with this power. Whilst Levitating, she can use her other powers, Premonition and Empathy. Phoebe used her levitation ability a total of 27 times during Charmed, the most she used it being in season four with 12 instances, and the least being in season six, with only 3 times that it was used.

Although this power was highly useful up until "Crimes and Witch-Demeanors" (for reasons explained later on) many fans were puzzled by Phoebe's new power. After all, it was never directly or indirectly linked with her first power, which powers always are when they advance in the show and even Prue stated in "Is There a Woogy in the House?" saying "our powers are supposed to advance, not grow at random", which Phoebe's levitation power seems to have done. Nevertheless not even she questioned Phoebe's new power (on-screen), possibly because she wanted to just be happy for her sister and not spoil it.

This puzzling development has led some fans to speculate on the origin of this new active power. One theory is that Phoebe's power of levitation developed from her martial arts skills, especially since the first time she inadvertently activated it Phoebe was trying to do a roundhouse kick and the second time she activated it she was doing a back flip, which as a result became magically amped.

Another is that somehow, by her wishing on a genie, Phoebe accidentally changed the course of development for her powers. This is supported, in fanon, by the fact that she gained the power to levitate in the episode right after the one where she (briefly) gained the power to fly.

A third explanation is that since her power of premonition makes progress to lifting her from the physical plane, her power allowed her to defy gravity as a way to free her temporarily from the hold of the ground.

However, it is never elaborated on in the show so no one will ever know for sure where this new power came from and/or why its development was triggered at that time.

Phoebe received her levitation power again 18 months after the final battle. ("No Rest for the Wicca") By this time she has regained her confidence in using the power, using it to dodge attacks ("Mortal Enemies") and to hover over the heads of huge enemies ("Unnatural Resources")

Odd Advancement Some fans found Phoebe's new power odd because there was no relation to her primary power of premonition. This puzzling development has led some fans to speculate on the origin of this new active power. One theory is that her levitation power stems from her martial arts skills.

However, it's now believed that her power of levitation comes from her power of premonition. Phoebe's power of premonition in theory "lifts" her into the premonition against her will; as she said to Prue in the season one episode (Love Hurts), "It's as though I'm being pulled against my will", therefore the natural advancement is that she can lift her body into the air by levitating. This power just like her power of premonition was uncontrollable at first. She mainly activated her power by lifting her arms into the air.

Also by levitating, Phoebe gets a clearer view of her surroundings, which would make it more logical for Levitation to be an advancement to her powers.

Empathy In season six, Phoebe developed the power of empathy. Being an empath allows Phoebe to channel other people's feelings, it can be explained that it is advanced from her power of premonition as it can make her feel the pain of those she sees in her visions, and this power allows her to feel others' feelings in the present. When she first gained this power, she had a tough time holding herself in control as she was constantly surrounded by feelings that could make her act in someone else's place, such as her ex-boyfriend Jason Dean's love for her, and once when an employee felt extremely angry at Elise, Phoebe was overwhelmed by his anger that she knocked her boss in the face. She and her sisters were almost driven to madness by this power because it makes her sense what they want to keep to themselves, which forced them to use a potion to block her power.

She once worried that it would destroy her like it almost destroyed Prue when she got the same power by accident, but Leo remarked that "She wasn't meant to have it, you are". Eventually she learned to gain control over herself and sometimes direct her power at people to read their intentions at will, as demonstrated when she attempted to read Mordaunt in "Sword and the City".

Since powers are tied with emotions and Phoebe can feel others' emotions, it eventually became possible for her to tap into their powers. It was possible that an advanced empathy power meant Phoebe could channel the powers of someone else in a larger radius, or perhaps allow her to replicate other people's abilities. After gaining her empathy power, Phoebe became much more powerful and could vanquish many demons with ease by reflecting their own attacks back at them magically. Phoebe can also use others or an individuals own emotions to incapacitating or even kill that said person. She can do this by flooding an individuals minds with their reflected emotions and overloading their brains with memories of people they've hurt and forcing them to feel the fear that their victims felt. Phoebe can use her Empathy and Levitation powers simultaneously, she levitates herself while she meditating to control her empathic ability.

Phoebe regains her empathy power back in the third issue, Innocents Lost, which takes place eighteen months after Forever Charmed.

Loss of Active Powers Phoebe's upper-level powers were stripped by the Tribunal because she was misusing them, telling her that she had to earn them if she wanted to regain her powers. Throughout the end of season six and beginning of season seven, she only retained the basic powers of an ordinary witch. She received back her premonition power (Styx Feet Under), but still has to show the Tribunal that she isn't misusing her powers to get her other powers back. It is never revealed if she does or does not ever regain her powers of empathy and levitation since the show ended before then.

Note: In Witchness Protection, when Phoebe tries to find information about the Avatars through Kyra by touching her, the jingle used for when Empathy is activated is heard. This may possibly indicate that she regained her empathy much earlier than thought. But as she never displays it again, and never speaks of it even, the sound may be just there for a dramatic effect.

Although later in the season, when Piper and Phoebe's powers are transferred into the bodies of two mortals, Phoebe tells the man that he should be able to sense when the next attack would be coming, though that could just a be a precognition branch of her premonition power. And in Kill Billie Vol. 2, the preliminary episode of Season 8, Phoebe senses the evil in the hidden room at Magic School.

Possible Advancements
 * Her power of Levitation could advance to Projective Levitation or Flight.
 * Her Premonitions could advance to her not having to touch objects and people to recieve a vision, as hinted in Witchness Protection by Kyra, a Seer.
 * Her Empathy could advance to Empathic Manipulation, allowing Phoebe to manipulate emotions people are feeling around her, or even project her own feelings onto others.
 * Her Empathy could advance to Empathic Manipulation, allowing Phoebe to manipulate emotions people are feeling around her, or even project her own feelings onto others.

Basic Wiccan Powers Like the other Charmed Ones, Phoebe can also brew magical potions, recite/write spells and scry. She has a reputation in the Halliwell family for being an excellent spell writer and she's often the one called upon to write the much needed power of three spells. Chronogically, Phoebe was the first sister to invent a spell of her own. (The Painted World)

Though she never preferred to use this skill, she can curse people and objects like in the episode Used Karmawhere she casts a curse on Jayson's merger.

In the episode All Halliwell's Eve, Phoebe, alongside her sisters, were sent back in time to save Melinda Warren from being raised evil however they discovered that they didn't have any powers because they didn't exist yet. But Eva, a witch from a local coven taught the Charmed Ones the power of nature and the original forms of magic. With this knowledge Phoebe was able to create a protective circle and fly on a broomstick with a conical hat to scare away witch hunters. This is then acknowledged that Phoebe is the one who started the traditional creation of flying witches. When Phoebe was returned to her own time she took this knowledge back with her.

In the season seven finale, she and Piper and Paige learn the ability to astral project; something that Prue had taught Leo. This allowed them to distract Zankou long enough for them to retrieve the Book of Shadows which he had stolen from them. Additionally, she used a spell to change her physical appearance.

Additional Powers
Thermokinesis In The Fourth Sister, Phoebe temporarily received the power of thermokinesis through Aviva and Kali. She has only used it to increase a plant's growing state. She later lost this ability after the Charmed Ones vanquished Kali.

Romantic Life
Phoebe has had the most tumultuous love life of all the sisters. Her first boyfriend was named Jimmy. In High School she was once caught making-out with a student named Todd Marks under the bleachers and hence-forth was nick-named 'Freebie', which Phoebe strongly disliked.

Hans Fein During Dream Sorcerer Hans Fein was Phoebe's boyfriend during Dream Sorcerer. Phoebe and Piper had used the Charm of Love ritual, and cast the Love spell. Phoebe went to Quake and met Hans. Though they had a lovely start, the spell began to get out of hand causing Piper and Phoebe to attract every male with their wanted characteristics. Eventually Phoebe and Piper reversed the spell. By reversing the spell, Hans's memory was erased.

Professional Life

 * Unemployed/Multiple Short-Lasting Jobs
 * Something Wicca This Way Comes - The Fifth Halliwheel


 * The Bay Mirror
 * Saving Private Leo - Forever Charmed

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 advertisments seen throughout the show entitled "Ask Phoebe: She has all the answers." Also, when Phoebe goes on sabatical, Elise hires a ghostwritter 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 devestated 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 carrer as an advice columnist, her boss, Elise, was very lenient with her, giving her a lot more leinency 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 regains her brown hair 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, starts out as a sandy-brown colour but goes to a darker colour with long bangs after she accepts Cole's proposal ("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 colours during her brief reign as Queen. Even after renouncing her crown, her hair remains dark brown. In season five, her hair retains its dark colour 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 colour and she can be seen wearing a suit to work.

Death Counts
During the run of the series and her life as a Charmed One, Phoebe died 8 times.


 * In Morality Bites, Phoebe is being burned at the stake and although she is about to die, she is brought back to the past before she does. The future should be changed so she never dies at the stake in any future episode, but there is no guarantee it won't happen.

Power Loss Counts
Throughout the series and her life as a Charmed One, Phoebe had lost her powers 15 times.


 * Phoebe's active powers were stripped away by the Tribunal in "Crimes and Witch-Demeanors" as punishment to her misusage of magic. She later earned back her power of premonition in "Styx Feet Under".

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.
