- "I know you probably punish me for this. If I ever get back to good. I can't let Ruby win, I can't. I've done bad things. I'm Evil - but there is something inside of me that keeps fighting. And now is stronger than ever. I don’t know if you can hear me, but if you can, know that what I’ve done, I’ve done it for a good reason. I’ve been evil before! A Shadow Witch. Darkness’ Fiancé. And now -- Queen of All Evil and the New Cupid in charge... I'm sorry."
- —Prue in A Charming Sacrifice.

History
- This section discusses the most significant events in the life of Prue Halliwell.
Background
Prue at 7.
Prue was born on February 02, 2007 in San Francisco, California to Phoebe Halliwell and Coop, a Witch and a Cupid respectively. She is the daughter Phoebe had foreseen and the eldest of the female Destined Ones. She shares along with Wyatt the Twice Blessed Children status, making her almost as powerful as Wyatt.
When she was a baby, she got sick and was healed by Wyatt who was no more than five years old. Phoebe left the baby alone and wanted to ask Paige to heal Prue, but when she came back to her daughter she realized Prue had been healed by Wyatt.
Ever since she was a little girl everybody compared her with her Aunt Prudence. She likes it but knows that she is a different Prue Halliwell and never tried to be like her aunt. She´s naturally like her aunt and there´s nothing she can´t do to change it.
Prue and Charlotte with Mommy Phoebe.
At age 8, Prue was visited by her future self along with her cousins Wyatt and Chris´ future self when they were trying to stop Phoebe from being killed by a demon.
Like her cousins and sisters, Prue had a normal childhood. Soon she wanted to fight demons and always wanted to go with Wyatt and Chris on a hunting trip. When she was still a little girl, Prue, Wyatt, and Chris created the Power of Nine Spell and along with their cousins and siblings they vanquished a doll. That was the first time they all combined their powers together.
Prue as a teenager.
At age 14, Prue kissed someone for the first time. Prue had asked Wyatt to be the one who kisses her for the first time because she wanted to learn was to kiss someone and she wanted to do it with someone she really trusted.
She was very popular in high school and was the leader of the Halliwell coven. That was the name her colleagues gave to her group which was formed by her, Melinda, Tamora, and Pandora. Prue was also a cheerleader. She had nothing to do with the common cheerleader but wanted to experience that and in her senior year became the leader of the group.
Prue and Eric when they were a couple.
During her senior year at High School, Prue met Eric when he was having dinner with his parents. She asked him to be his date for homecoming. Soon after, Eric asked her to formalize their relationship. They were together for almost three years, but the relationship ended when Eric was offered a job in Germany. He never got to know that Prue was a magical being until he returned to town in 2030.
She went to college to study Supervision and Management. And right after finishing college, Prue opened P3. It was the dream of her life. She finally got to open P3 after Wyatt made a deal with the seller so Prue could buy the club for a better price. She never found out about the deal until two years after.
Throughout Destined Series
Personality
Fiercely protective of those she loves, Prue can be obsessive with her protection. She is often compared to her Aunt Prue by those around her due to their similar personalities. Both are protective, stubborn, powerful, and outspoken. She also takes characteristics from her mother and Aunts. She is passionate and funny like Phoebe, sarcastic and strong-willed like Piper, and spunky and artistic like Paige.
Prue is also protective, quick-thinking, responsible, independent, and devoted to her family. She can also be incredibly bossy and stubborn, holding herself to a high standard. She is also incredibly resilient and always bounced back from hardships.
Prue, like Wyatt, feels that she has a responsibility to protect her family. She can be intimidating, and her strong temper often scares those around her. Despite being stubborn she is capable of admitting she was wrong, a trait that adds to her complexity.
She is untrustful, specifically toward other women. When Bianca and Chris first dated Prue was vocal about her feeling of distrust. She showed obsessive behavior and was relentless in proving herself right. While her intentions were good she ignored her families warnings to stay out of their relationship. She was later proven wrong when Bianca saved her family. The two remained in good faith ever since.
Like her mother, Prue has a creative mind and sharp memory. She is an expert spell writer, a trait that she inherited from her mother. During her pregnancy, Prue experiences mild mood swings. She toned down and relaxed, and put the health and safety of her unborn baby first. She originally had an inferiority complex towards her child, as she possessed raw power. However, Prue grew to accept the child's power and even channeled it to help her family.
Her worst quality as of late is her cockiness and egotistial mannerisms. She knows her power is immense and makes a point of ensuring everyone around her knows it too. This may stem from her enemies underestimating her, thought it comes across as immaturity in many of her arguments or statements. Since becoming a mother, Prue has become more relaxed in her public affections for her husband, and shown a motherly acceptance towards Chris' children. She is shaken by the loss of Bianca and does her best to do right by her friend by caring for Phoenix, despite being a new mother to twins. These conflicting natures of selfless and egotistical make her a complex character whose personality often shifts to one nature or the other.
Evil Prue smiling.
When Prue turned Evil, she became a darker and much sinister version of herself. When she is evil, she is blunt and brutally honest but lies easily to get her way. She also becomes obsessive on turning Wyatt evil. This has become an evident pattern that stems from them both being Twice Blessed Children.
Despite being evil, Prue still cared about her family and friends. She chose to focus on the negative parts of life such as betrayal, lies, and heartbreak. Her pain over the negative aspects of her life caused her to feel resentful and frustrated. She tended to act out in unexpected ways.
- "No. That's dark Prue. Evil Prue cared. This one is cold."
- —Chris about Prue's persona.
While under the influence of Darkness in Season 3, Prue became cold and emotionless, almost callous. She didn't care about peoples perception of her and lost her modesty. She had no regard for rules or authority figures. She used her powers for evil, specifically turning Mr. Shawn into an ice statue. This later resulted in his death.
Despite being under the influence of Darkness, Prue still held parts of her personality. She remained sassy, funny, flirty, and out-spoken. However, at the same moment that she showed a positive trait, she would become cold.Love Life
Professional Life
Prue owns the P3
After graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in Management, Prue decided it was about time to re-open the P3, her Aunt Piper old club. She bought it from the seller and re-opened it. She´s the manager and works hard to make P3 one of the best nightclubs in town. After P3 burned down, she originally didn't have any desire to reopen the club. However, she eventually decided to reopen it with the help of her husband, Wyatt. During her pregnancy, she was forced to focus on her unborn child and allow those around her to help her with the club.
Physical Appearance

Prue greatly resembles her Aunt Prudence in her physical appearance, with the only difference being that Prue´s eye color is hazel, while her Aunts is blue.

For parties, events, or even while working nights at P3, she prefers darker tones that match her clothes. She also loves to wear eyeliner in a way that gives her a feline look and isn't afraid to wear it at all times.
Prue´s clothing style can be described as a classy-sexy, with professional tones. On a regular day, her outfits are casual or casual chic, with several pieces accenting her mood. She is often seen in jeans and a nice blouse, although she can be seen wearing dresses or skirts. While working at P3, she wears revealing or sexy pieces, such as a plunging neckline or shorter skirts with heels. Prue will often wear elegant clothing as well, especially when she goes out for dinner or to a family function. No matter her outfit, Prue can normally be seen wearing high-heels or combat boots.
When Prue traveled to the future, she saw herself with a number of different hairstyles. The most notable being blonde hair that was cut short, which her family remarked on for being different and looking nice. Her future-self also wore clothing that was freer or had flowing fabric.

Magical Statuses
- "When three planets burn as one over a sky of dancing light, and magic will rest for a holy day to welcome a twice blessed child."
- — Apothecary says the prophecy for the first time
- "They will think is all done, but the planets again will burn as one over a sky of dancing lights and magic will rest again until a second twice blessed child joins its mate on a holy Wiccan day."
- — The Apprentice completed her father´s prophecy
Wyatt and Prue´s birth were predicted six centuries before their birth for an old Apothecary and his daughter and Apprentice. When the Apothecary was trapping Doom in a wall, he had a vision where he saw a twice blessed child. His daughter was unaware of what was happening and took his father´s hand. By doing it, she intercepted the second part of the prophecy where she saw a second twice-blessed child.
The Apothecary and his daughter never revealed this prophecy to anyone. The Apothecary was buried with the part of the prophecy he saw while his daughter kept the second part with her afraid of evil finding out about it because she saw that what could happen to the world if the children were raised by evil.
When the Apprentice was old enough she went to the Elders and asked them to protect the entire prophecy. The powerful wizard Merril unearthed the quatrain describing the first part of the prophecy.
Merril was Cronyn´s mentor and knowing that the child would be born when magic rested on a holy Wiccan day planned to get the child, with Doris´ help, and raise the child as evil.
As the prophecy says, Prue was born on the Wiccan Sabbath Imbolc which fell on the same day as the Aurora Borealis. Despite this is an unusual phenomenon, this happened twice in a four years time.
While demons tried hard to get Wyatt the same didn´t happen to Prue, as evil knew nothing about a second twice blessed child and even if they knew they had not enough powers to try to attack the Charmed Ones and get the child.
Being Twice Blessed makes Wyatt and Prue extremely powerful. Being Twice Blessed means being the firstborn child of a Charmed One and a powerful agent of good or evil. Wyatt and Prue are both first-born children of a Charmed One and an agent of good. Wyatt son o Piper and Leo (a whitelighter) and Phoebe and Coop (a cupid).
HADHAFANG, Prue´s sword
Hadhafang (HATH-uh-fang) is the name of the sword of the elf maiden Arwen in the Lord of the Ring series. According to the Elder Fiona, the Lord of the Ring tales really happened. Prue Halliwell is the rightful owner of that powerful sword. Prue wasn´t aware of that until she needed it to destroy the powerful demon Doom in episode 1x06 Born Under a Twice Blessed Sign. So she and Wyatt (Master of Excalibur) would be able to destroy Doom.
Prue received the sword soon after her birth. Fiona headed to the Halliwell Manor on the night Prue was born to hand the sword to Phoebe. Phoebe said that as soon as Prue landed eyes on that sword, it moved straight away to Phoebe´s hands. The Elders kept the sword safe. The day Prue was born, the sword itself did some kind of sign and the Elders knew its new owner was arriving. Prue didn´t believe when Fiona told her which sword was. Prue is passionate for the Lord of the Ring tale and read all the books.
Prue summoned the sword and was able to use it perfectly.Prue, as well as Melinda and Tamora, is one of the new Charmed Ones. On the day Prue was born, the Elder announced that she got that right because she was the firstborn witch of the new generation. They said that from then on, in every generation there will be a new set of Charmed Ones.
Prue and her cousins and siblings were destined to follow her mother steps. When Prue was little, Prue, her cousins, and siblings created the Power of Nine Spell. All nine together vanquished a "demon" that was actually a doll. They are known as the Destined Ones to the Magical Community.
As a co-ruler of the Underworld and all evil, The Queen is one of the most powerful magical beings. As the Queen, Prue has displayed a multitude of powers, more than any other magical being in the series. Notable instances of her great powers are when she blocked Christina from all magical visions and ripped out Michaela's heart. As the Queen, she possesses the same powers as the Source of All Evil.
Fear
- Drowning: After being trapped in the Halliwell Manor with the rest of her family, Prue is forced to confront this fear. She is able to overcome it, and is no longer afraid of water or drowning in it.
