Charmed – Piper Halliwell
Piper Halliwell
Piper Halliwell, played by Holly Marie Combs, starred in all 178 episodes, from seasons 1 – 8.
Born on June 7,1972 and is the middle Halliwell child. Upon Prue’s death, she assumes the role as the oldest sister. Her powers include the ability to freeze and ‘blow up’ objects at will.
She is most concerned with having a normal life, and always has reservations about her life as a Charmed One. When she first becomes a Charmed One, she is quiet and reserved, often having to mediate between Prue and Phoebe.
She is the most maternal and kindest of all the sisters but also possess a quick wit and can be very sarcastic, a trait probably acquired from years spent looking up to elder sister Prue.
Piper took Prue’s death much harder than Phoebe did and this is likely because of the realization of the responsibility of being the elder Halliwell sister and the implications of that.
Once Paige enters the series, Piper is the first to take her under her wing and becomes her magical mentor as Paige struggles to adapt to her new found life and supernatural powers and responsibilities.
As the show progresses, she gains a stronger persona and takes more authority after Prue dies. She eventually becomes the mother of two sons and a daughter, Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda, with her husband Leo Wyatt, and goes to great lengths to protect her children.
In the series finale, the final montage shows her with a granddaughter. Her love of food steers her to a career in the culinary, which leads her to open her own club, and as revealed in the last episode, her own restaurant.
