History
This section discusses the most significant events in the life of Pandora Mitchell.
Background
Pandora is the youngest daughter of Paige and Henry, and the younger twin to Tamora Mitchell. Pandora's powers were bound when she was still a baby, as well as her sister´s, as neither one could control them enough. She got them back in high school and she was able to learn how to control them over time.
Pandora is different from Tamora and they fight a lot but always end up making peace in the end. She and her sister grew up very close to there cousins, Melinda and Prue. Pandora is shy and a little withdrawn.
Despite being close to Prue, Melinda and Tamora, she likes to talk with Charlotte because she feels like they have similar ways of thinking.
Pandora was always the trouble maker. Almost all of the situations involving the wrong use of magic was her fault. She often takes her sister with her on her rendezvous.
Pandora is a senior at college, however, at the same time, she´s working as a social worker in the same place her mother used to work years ago.
Both Pandora and Tamora share some characteristics with their mother when she younger. Paige is more responsible now and is always asking her daughters to get out of troubles.
Throughout Destined Series
Personality
Pandora is impulsive, protective, energetic, humorous, withdrawn, and calm. Pandora, unlike her sister, is more connected to her Whitelighter side. Since she is in tune with her Whitelighter side, Pandora has an inherent need and ability to help others, which led her to want to become a social worker. Pandora is unreasonable when she's angry or when someone doesn't agree with her.
Pandora is responsible, but when it comes to magic, she is rather immature. She is a trouble maker and that gets her into some bad situations. Pandora is also very intelligent, not a spell-writer, but not afraid to try. She can remain calm depending on the situation. She is not afraid to stick up for what she thought was right.
When it comes to love, Pandora is not the dating type. She loves to be with someone, but she is not dependent on others.

In relationships, Pandora doesn't have a long list of dates. She dreams of finding Mr. Right.
- Drew Landon: Pandora and Drew had a brief romantic relationship, that was primarily physical. They broke up after only dating for a short while.

She also attended his funeral with her sister, Tamora.
