Phoebe Halliwell

Phoebe Halliwell hasn't always been the neat advice columnist we know. There was a time where Phoebe was a teenager, a total rebel... people used to call her 'freebie'.

When Patricia Halliwell, Phoebe's mother, died, Phoebe was only 3 years old. She was raised by her grandmother 'Grams' as the youngest sister, along with her two older sisters Prue and Piper. When Grams died, Phoebe moved to New York at the age of 23.

One year later, Phoebe lost her job and moved back to San Francisco, where she moved into the Halliwell Manor along with her sisters. That same night, Phoebe is the one to discover the Book of Shadows and reading an incantation, gaining her and her sisters their powers and leading them on their way of discovering their new destiny as witches.

When she first moved back, Phoebe and Prue didn't really get along well. However, living together in the same house and especially their new destiny forcing them to unite, caused them to finally accept each other, and eventually become really close sisters.

A little trip to the future showed Phoebe (and her sisters) the importance of using her power to protect the innocent, and not punish the guilty. In the future, Phoebe used her powers to kill a man who had killed someone she loved, causing the world to find out about witches. This would've start modern day witch trials, and Phoebe would've been burned at the stake.

Of the three sisters, Phoebe always was the one who accepted the craft the most. In fact, she simply loved being a witch.

Phoebe and Cole
The most serious relationship Phoebe has had, was with Cole Turner. Cole showed up as an Assistant District Attorney, but that was only a disguise. In fact, he was the vicious demon Belthazor, the Source's right hand, after the sisters' power. But Cole and Phoebe fell hopelessly in love, causing Cole not to able to hurt Phoebe (and along with her not her sisters), and Phoebe not being able to vanquish Cole.

Phoebe and Cole's relationship took many turns. From evil, Cole turned good, and Phoebe saved him from being vanquished by her sisters. For a while, he disappeared out of Phoebe's life, but then returned to go undercover as Belthazor to infiltrate and evil demonic organization. However, when he insisted on Phoebe to strip his powers, she found out that that would give him access to the Book of Shadows.

Phoebe's pain of losing Cole was so strong, she gets attacked by a Banshee, causing her to be turned in to one. Banshee Phoebe tries to kill Belthazor, but she can't when Cole admits he still loves her, and Phoebe is turned back. Feeling again some hope for their relationship, Phoebe travels to the underworld with a potion, with the goal to turn Cole good again, and restoring their love. Her plan succeeds, but Phoebe has to turn something in for this, something she cares about most: a sister. Prue.

When Paige appeared in Piper and Phoebe's lives, Phoebe could accept their new (half)sister better than Piper could. It was her who went after Paige when she received a premonition about her. When Piper started to accept Prue's death, she started to accept Paige too, just like Phoebe did. The more time went by, the closer Phoebe and Paige got.

But though the three sisters were united, Phoebe's trouble wasn't over with Cole. Their relationship went well, very well. Eventually, Phoebe married Cole, not knowing that her man recently got possessed by no one less than the Source himself. Not long after, Phoebe moved out of the Halliwell Manor and started living with her new husband in their new appartment. Soon after, Phoebe got pregnant, not knowing that her child was a spawn of pure evil, destined to become the most powerful, evil being ever.

When Phoebe found out about Cole being the Source, she was heartbroken, and didn't know what to do. However, to everybody's surprise, Phoebe got turned by the Seer and accepted Cole's new job; she became the Queen of the Underworld.
But her new role didn't last long. Phoebe's love for her sisters was just too strong, and eventually she had to give in made the most difficult and terrible decision of her life: she had to vanquish Cole.

With her child growing inside of her, Phoebe tried to get used to the fact to move on without Cole and becoming a single parent. But her child was the Source of All Evil, and actually belonged to the Seer herself. When the Seer literally stole the child out of Phoebe's womb, Phoebe realized the baby was never hers nor Cole's, and so with the Power of Three, the sisters vanquished the Seer and the Source, along with the whole evil council, giving the balance between good and evil a big turn, in Good's benefit.

When Cole returned again, Phoebe didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Cole was either good, then evil again... Soon they got divorced. Eventually, after a long while, Phoebe vanquished Cole again, this time for good.

Phoebe also continued her job as advice columnist, and became more and more popular. Her advice became more and more accurate, of course especially when she received her empathy powers.

Due to a little glimpse of the future, Phoebe was the first sister to find out Chris' true identity. In the same little trip, she saw herself being pregnant. That caused her to go on a crazy race to find her mister Right, marry and finally start a family. However, there's still no result, unfortunately.
