History
In Charmed
Phoebe was born on November 2nd, 1975 to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennet. On March 24th, 1975, Phoebe's birth power of premonition manifested itself into her mother from the womb, granting Patty a vision of the future. Following this, the unborn Phoebe combined her magic with her two older sisters, Prue and Piper, to use the Power of Three to send their future selves back to their time. Her and her sisters´ powers were bound by their grandmother, Penny halliwell, bound their power in order to keep them safe and erased all memories of magic the girls had. Phoebe´s mother was killed three years after her birth. Hence, Phoebe never really knew her mother.
After a while living in New York, Phoebe returned to San Francisco on October 7th, 1998. That´s the turning point on the Halliwell sisters life. On that night Phoebe cast the spell that reawakened the powers of the three sisters that were bound by their grams when they were young. The next day, she got her first premonition. Unlike her sisters, Phoebe embraced her destiny as a Charmed One with open arms, and convinced them to embrace their magic as well.
Phoebe decided to return to college, and worked hard to keep her studies stable and undistributed by her Charmed responsibilities, which she still took seriously. She graduated from college with a B.A. in Psychology.
The darkest time and also hapiest (before she met Coop) was when she met the ssistant district attorney Cole Turner. Cole a half demoniac side. He was the demon Belthazor. When Phoebe found out about, it made her feel divided between her sisters and Cole. She ended up marrying Cole but soon after he became the Source of All Evil, Phoebe and her sister vanquished him. He came back and was vanquished again, this time in a alternative reality Cole created with an Avatar´s help.
On May 17th, 2001, Piper's elder sister, Prue was killed in battle by the demon Shax. The sudden loss of their sister was devastating for Piper and Phoebe, but it had hit Piper harder. After Prue´s funeral, Piper and Phoebe found out that The Power of Three could be reconstituted because there was another. Another sister: Paige Matthews. Paige was given for adoption right after her birth by Patty and Sam. Phoebe was then the middle sister, a place she had to adapt to.
In 2003, Phoebe discovered she was destined to be an Empath, gaining the ability feel other people's emotions. Phoebe had a hard time to deal with her new powers.
The next year, Phoebe and her sisters met the Avatars. She was able to have a vision of the Utopie where she saw herself having a little girl.
Piper, Phoebe and Paige along with their family had the chance to escape from the wiccan life after vanquishing one of their biggest foe, the demon Zankou. They took new identities, but that made they feel they were not living their lives so they got back to their own and real identities. Soon after her met her true love: Coop.
The big challenge for Phoebe and her sisters was when they had to face the Christy and Billy Jenkins. Phoebe had a strong bound with Billy and it was hard for her to believe that Billy was evil. It turned out that it was Christy the evil one.
Soon after the Ultimate Battle, Phoebe married Coop and got pregnant for the first time. She was finally carrying the daughter she had foreseen. Wrote her first book. Two years after Prue´s birth she gor pregnant with Charlotte and four years later with Cassandra. Eventually, Phoebe was offered to take the place of Elise at the Bay Mirror an became editor-in-chief.

Phoebe and her sisters taught all about magic to her children. In 2015, Piper and her sisters were visited by the future selves of Wyatt, Chris and Prue (Phoebe´s daughter). They went back in time to stop Phoebe from being killed. Piper, Phoebe and Paige were taken to the future and helped to change it.
Phoebe and her sisters hide from their first bron daughter that they will become the new Power of Three. Phoebe and her sister would be always known as the original Charmed Ones, but her sisters and future generations would inherit the Power of Three.
