Phoebe Halliwell

One of the Charmed Ones

Youngest sister of the prophesied Charmed Ones, Phoebe is known in some circles of the supernatural for the grand destiny of her lineage. She is largely unknown in most circles of the mundane world, but she has some contacts in questionable places.

Personality[]

Wild and unpredictable, Phoebe is the classic bad girl. Tending to get involved in crowds that most would call bad, interested in the more dangerous places and people, Phoebe made plenty of friends and plenty of enemies in her younger days. She's generally charismatic, although she also has a problem with keeping her focus on any one place for any length of time; she's something of a social butterfly, even with those who are very dear to her. But through it all, she is loyal, and she's good at telling it like it is, however people end up taking it.

Though Phoebe does have a quick temper, she's also pretty quick to settle down once she's considered the situation. She has a lot of pride, though, and that can spell disaster in her relationships of all kinds. Her enthusiasm rarely stays with one single thing, but if she's really into something, she may dedicate herself to it indefinitely, and she's remarkably able to maintain that enthusiasm with such an exceptional interest. Though whimsical and not always dependable, Phoebe's heart is usually in the right place, and she tries hard to do the right thing by those dear to her.

SKILLS[]

ACADEMICS[]

Competent

Phoebe was a good student in her younger days. Most of her go-to skillset revolves around basic academic skills, such as research, critical thinking, and naturally lots of reading. She is good with words and is able to read for content effectively, which makes it easier for her to absorb new information. It's usually essential in her everyday battle against evil, where she must regularly learn and apply new data to high-pressure situations.

ATHLETICS[]

Competent

Arguably the most athletic of the sisters, Phoebe keeps herself in good shape and exercises regularly. Her somewhat chaotic lifestyle has only added to this tendency, and she has lived most of her life on the go.

LORE[]

Competent

Probably the most enthusiastic of the three sisters about their destiny as witches, Phoebe has eagerly undertaken the role of researcher and spell-composer among them. The manor has an extensive library, and she and her sisters have also learned from their practical experience in the world of witchcraft. Of the Halliwell sisters, Phoebe has read the most of their family's Book of Shadows and tends to be the one to add to it as needed.

SPELLCASTING[]

Competent

While Phoebe is not the most potent caster of the Halliwell sisters, she is the most naturally talented at composing spells. Many of the spells that she composes actually function as if a spellcaster of the Expert level had written them. These spells typically require research, usually from their family grimoire, and the casting process heavily depends on willpower and focus.

THIEVERY[]

Competent

A product of her wilder and younger days, Phoebe has cultivated skills at pickpocketing and lockpicking. Through regular use, she has kept these fresh on her mind and, while she no longer uses them quite so often, can still manage to be light-fingered when the situation calls for it.

UNARMED COMBAT[]

Competent

Having taken a number of martial arts classes, on top of years spent with bad crowds and in disreputable parts of town, Phoebe can take care of herself better than most. She has also cultivated skill at using potions and magic in direct combat situations, has good awareness of her surroundings, and using potions and magic in combative applications and ways. She's quite accurate with throwing and has a good sense of battlefield awareness.

POWERS[]

ALCHEMY[]

Enhanced

Phoebe can craft potions by brewing reagents and other ingredients for a specific purpose. Most potions Phoebe can craft are for a single purpose and a single use. Even so, she is able to craft batches at the same time.

PREMONITION[]

Enhanced

Phoebe's special gift is that of premonition. This can manifest as flashes of psychometry, which can occur when she touches an object or person, and can show her past, present, or even future of what she touched. It can also manifest as visions, which are typically unpredictable as to when they occur. Phoebe's power is such that, at present, she is not generally able to receive premonitions at will.

SCRYING[]

Basic

With the use of a tool such as a pendulum, crystal ball, reflective surface, or something similar, Phoebe can locate objects and beings in various planes. Her scrying ability is strongest in the physical and astral planes. Of the Halliwell sisters, however, Phoebe is probably least likely or able to use scrying. Typically, she relies on her gift of premonition to convey the information she needs.

ADVANTAGES[]

BOOK OF SHADOWS[]

The Book of Shadows is a large, thick family grimoire filled with more than three hundred years of arcane knowledge and information on witchcraft. It is a power unto itself and a huge boon to the Halliwell sisters. When it comes to seeking knowledge of the occult and obscure as well as details on many long thought forgotten potions, spells, and rituals, the book provides an invaluable collected resource. It is added to by every witch of the Warren line who has ever had access to it, making it an artifact of great power to any who can use it. Only beings of generally "good" alignment can touch it; it will teleport itself away from contact with evil.

FAME[]

The Halliwells are known as the Charmed Ones and, as a result, they are instantly recognized in some circles as great witches of prophecy. This can open many doors for them, and some who know of them may trust them much more easily than they would just any witch, providing assistance, information, or resources.

HALLIWELL MANOR[]

Halliwell Manor is in the center of five sacred elemental sites. Its precise location makes it a powerful nexus for the arcane. Not only is the manor home and a safe haven, it also functions as a source of great power because of its exact position.

POWER OF THREE[]

Witches are well known for the "Power of Three." That is, they are especially adept at combining their individual strengths in order to cast much more powerful, impactful magics. Some of the most powerful spells a witch can cast require a circle of others to cast, and a circle is usually formed out of triads of witches, each wielding the Power of Three.

Power of Three spells can be done by any three witches, but they have to have the same focus on their goal and ideally be on the same page. Witches who are at odds with each other may even have the spell fail or go wrong. For even greater effect, various groups of three can assemble into larger circles of nine or twelve, and a circle of thirteen is particularly potent.

WEAKNESSES[]

BAD GIRL[]

Phoebe has always struggled against selfishness and impulsiveness in her life. Though she has repeatedly had to fend for herself in hard situations, and she has frequently had her trust betrayed, she can sometimes take it to excess and may end up driving away those dear to her or breaking their bond of trust herself. She tries hard, but it will always be a challenge for her to prove that she can be reliable and trustworthy, especially when she has her moments of weakness.

FAME[]

The Halliwells are known as the Charmed Ones and, as a result, they are instantly recognized in some circles as great witches of prophecy. Because of this, they effectively have targets painted on them. Fame is a double-edged sword, and it's all the more dangerous when the unknown can hold great risk. The grand destiny of the Charmed Ones directly threatens a number of beings and places others in uncomfortable and uncertain situations. More than a few of these beings would jump at the chance to take the Charmed Ones out of the equation entirely.

PERSONAL GAIN[]

The Charmed Ones are not supposed to use magic for what is termed personal gain. While the definition of the term has a broad application, they are generally forbidden from using magic for self-serving ends, such as petty or vengeful goals. When magic is used for personal gain, it has a greater chance of either failing or going disastrously wrong.

POWER OF THREE[]

The Charmed Ones are able to tap into their grand destiny when they are together and of one mind and goal. Separate them, and they are only as strong as their own resolve and power. Undermine their unity, and they are just as weak, even when together; the three-corded rope begins to unravel slowly.

SISTERS[]

The sisters would do anything to help each other. For Phoebe, much of this stems from her desire to prove herself to her sisters, after spending most of her life chaotic and unreliable. She cares deeply for Piper and Prue, and as the wildest one of them, she doesn't always think things through when she believes her sisters are in danger. It could easily be used against her.

Born one of the Charmed Ones of prophecy, Phoebe was the baby of the family and barely knew her mother before the family lost her. Not only because of her status as youngest, but also due to the absence of her mother, Phoebe always acted out and was the "wild child" of the family, seeking fulfillment in danger and risk. Though a good student, her questionable activities and questionable friends sent her down a different path from her sisters.

After their grandmother passed away suddenly, Phoebe decided to try and find their father, who had left when she was very young. She went to New York City for a few months but was unable to find him and, left without resources or anywhere else to turn, had to come back to the manor and reunite with her sisters. It was tense at first, but soon Phoebe was led to the attic by the spirit of their grandmother. Once she discovered the family's Book of Shadows and read from it, she awakened the three sisters' powers.

It took her a while to convince Piper and Prue of the reality of the situation, but once they were confronted with their first warlock, the three came together in unity to vanquish the evil presence.

Now one of the Charmed Ones, Phoebe continues to fight the good fight against evil and maybe, just maybe, she can grow closer to her sisters and embrace her destiny.
