    Phoebe Halliwell is the youngest and most daring of the family, although not for long as another sister has yet to be found. She is also the most eager to learn and grow as a witch. Phoebe is the spell caster, the potion maker, and the expert on the Book of Shadows. But she is also the sister who began with a passive power, the power of premonition. Thankfully for her, her powers began to expand as she entered her third year as a witch so that now she can also levitate.
    As the youngest, Phoebe is perceived to be the most irresponsible and the least mature. But things have changed since she discovered the family secret and she is starting to get her life on track. Even Prue seeks advice from her now, and Phoebe offers it readily. She is the one to go to if you need to be cheered up, and her humor often lightens up a bad situation. Still, Phoebe always seems to be on the edge. There is a dark side within her that shows up every so often. But most of the time, Phoebe is the happy, cheerful, enthusiastic girl who insists that she'll always want to be a witch.
   Before moving back in with her sisters, Phoebe was off in New York, searching for their long lost father. Her relationship with middle sister Piper was still good, but she and Prue were hardly on speaking terms. So when Phoebe finally did return home she received a chilly reception from the oldest Halliwell. However, on her first night back, while playing an old spirit board game with Piper, Phoebe was stunned to find the pointer spelling out the word attic. While Piper freaked out and Prue went to check the fuse box, Phoebe went up there and discovered a dusty old volume called the Book of Shadows. Curious, she opened the cover and read the incantation on the first page, thereby calling up their powers. After that, nothing was ever the same.
    Unlike her sisters, Phoebe was never afraid of her powers or her new identity as a witch. She embraced it with open arms. It was in the normal half of her life where she struggled the most. Often unemployed, she went through a series of jobs which never seemed to work out. She did, however, patch things up with Prue and managed to add a little more fun to the Halliwell household. Along the way she also learned to love her passive power and began to understand its importance.
    Phoebe did have some strange experiences though. During an important dinner party which Prue was hosting, Phoebe was possessed by a creature called the Woogyman. She managed to ruin the dinner and nearly kill both of her sisters, before breaking through the demon's hold on her. It was then that Phoebe began to realize that she had a darker side. That was why the demon chose her.
    This dark side became all the more clear when the sisters traveled to the future, only to find Phoebe on death row for murder. Phoebe had a sobering experience as she recalled what her future self had done, using her powers to punish the guilty instead of protecting the innocent. She ended up telling her sisters to let the state execute her. They did. Phoebe was burned alive, but fortunately for her, this was the trigger that sent them back to their present. In this way Phoebe had a shot at changing her future, and the future of the world.
    A few months after that Phoebe enrolled in college, ready to get on with her life. One day though she found herself having premonitions about her past self, an evil past self who had been killed in the 1920's. Phoebe went back in time and found that her past self was trying to kill her cousins, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Prue and Piper. Phoebe was forced to own up to the fact that she had turned evil once before, and that there was always a chance that it could happen again. But Prue assured her that she was still a wonderful person who had done a lot of great things since returning home. But still, it was hard for Phoebe to get past that glimpse into her darker half.
    After this little experience though, Phoebe's life has only gotten better. She aced her college exams and even managed to save the day a few times. She is still unattached, after following Piper's lead by going after the wrong man, in this case a character from a black and white film. This was resolved quickly though when she had to leave him behind on his twenty foot movie screen.
    A summer went by before Phoebe finally got what she wanted, an active power. Levitating, about as close to flying as she could get, meant that she finally had an edge in the fighting. At the same time Phoebe met her dream man, an attractive ADA named Cole Turner. She fell for him hard, but found out too late that he was the demon, Belthazor, sent by the Source to destroy the Charmed Ones. As she realized this, she resolved herself to kill him, but was unable to after he professed his love for her. Somehow he seemed willing to give up his evil ways to be with her, so she saved him and sent him away. But this created a problem when she lied, telling her sisters that she had indeed vanquished him. This secret would haunt her for weeks afterward, eventually coming between her and her family.
    Not long after, Phoebe was thrilled when their father showed up. Unfortunately his presence was yet another thing Phoebe had kept from her sisters. But they quickly got over this when the family was happily reunited. Unfortunately the family bond was tested when Phoebe finally revealed that Cole was alive. Piper was quick to forgive once Phoebe told Prue, but the eldest Halliwell felt betrayed. After a dance on the dark side for all of the Halliwells, Prue began to forgive as she realized evil's allure. Now the only test for Phoebe was whether Cole could resist it.
    Once Cole went undercover to get the goods on the Source's plan, Piper and Prue began to wonder whether he could be good. But Phoebe stood by him, sure that he was still helping them. She started to make a potion to take away his evil half, but destroyed it when Cole killed a witch. What she hadn't realized was that his old boss had forced him to do so in order to split the two up. She discovered this after being transformed into a banshee, a demon who tracks down those in pain. She eventually found Cole, who was suffering badly from their break-up. She became Phoebe once more and he explained himself before disappearing. Unfortunately this led to a series of tragic events that would affect all the sisters.
    A week later Prue and Piper were nearly killed while vanquishing a demon. Phoebe called for Leo who was able to save them. But shortly after she journeyed down to the underworld, intent on bringing Cole back. Leo eventually went after her when the media caught on to the Halliwell's secret. Meanwhile the Source suddenly appeared on the scene giving Cole the news he didn't want to believe. While Phoebe and Leo were gone, Piper had been shot and killed, leaving Phoebe with a horrible choice. If she stayed in the underworld with the Source, time would be reset to the morning. If she did not, time would continue and Piper would be dead forever. She chooses to stay on the condition that Cole goes back to warn Prue and Piper of the demon that hurt them that morning. And so the deal is made and time is reset. Unfortunately Cole is held up, leaving the two elder Halliwells horribly injured, while Phoebe is trapped deep in the underworld.
