PRUE HALLIWELL

       Prudence Halliwell was born on October 28th, 1970 to Patricia Halliwell and Victor Bennett. After Prue was just five years old, Prue’s powers were bound by her grandmother as well as the powers of her sisters to prevent them from being killed by a powerful warlock. This caused Prue to grow up not knowing who or what she truly is.

      Prue was always had mad at the fact that she had to give up her childhood to help raise her sisters Piper and Phoebe as her mother had died from a demon attack and her father left them. All through high school and college, Prue was always the popular, smart, and head cheerleader that everyone liked, even the football captains.

     Her education was something that Prue never really had a say in. As she wanted to go to school for photography, her grandmother felt that that it wasn’t a very good reason to go to college and that it was a waste of time and money. Instead Prue went to college for antiquity studies which eventually lead to her employment the Museum of Natural History in San Francisco. While working at the museum, Prue was involved with her boss, Roger. They were set to be married, however it never came to fruition.

     After Phoebe read the incantation from the Book of Shadows, Prue acquired the power of telekinesis, which she first used unknowing to her at the museum she worked for when she told Roger of resignation.

    Prue went on to go and begin work at Buckland’s Auction House where she was a large asset. As Prue’s life went on, she learned out to balance her private life and her Charmed life and eventually came to terms with her destiny as a Charmed One. Eventually, Prue quit her job and decided to take up a job that just happened to be her hobby, a photographer. Not only was Prue able to find a job as a photographer, but a photographer at 415 Magazine.

    All through her life, Prue was mad at the fact that she sacrificed her childhood to help raise her sister, whom she placed the blame entirely on her father, Victor, and focused so much hate on him that she effectively convinced herself that he was dead. However, this hatred was no longer experienced by Prue when she learned how much her father actually cared about her and that he had no choice, but to leave his daughters. This bonding between the two of them never lead to an actual relationship between them as Prue sacrificed her life and accepted her destiny of a short life, in order to save her sisters Piper and Phoebe, which eventually lead to them finding the fourth sister, a half-sister, Paige.

    A year before Prue died, Leo taught her how to astral project, an ability that she later taught Piper and Phoebe and in turn Paige. This ability became helpful during Piper, Phoebe, and Paige’s battle against the demon Zankou. Prue also showed herself that day, after her sisters assumed a new identity, by shutting the door of Halliwell Manor with the aide of her telekinesis, presumably as a ghost in corporal form.
