Prudence "Prue" Halliwell is the oldest Charmed One, and has always been regarded as the bravest and most powerful of the four sisters, to the extent that she was granted the nicknames "Super Witch" and "Wicca Wonder". She is Piper and Phoebe Halliwell's older sister and Paige Matthews's maternal half-sister. Prue is the firstborn to Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett.
Her Wiccan powers focus on mind and movement: the ability to move objects with her mind, teleport liquids with her mind, and project herself in an astral form. Besides this, Prue possesses the basic powers of a witch: the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and scry for lost objects or people. She could also access the Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones, before her demise.
Prue worked as a successful photojournalist at 415 Magazine, a career she wanted to pursue since her youth, but had given up until being introduced to the world of magic made her realize that her dreams were worth fighting for.
Despite her formidable powers and sharp intellect, Prue was tragically murdered on May 17, 2001, in her own home by the Source of All Evil's assassin, Shax, which temporarily severed The Power of Three altogether.
For years, her sisters thought that she was living happily in the afterlife with their mother and grandmother, though they were eventually told that Prue had been reincarnated. However, Prue had disappeared and Patty gave Cole Turner the task of finding her. Cole eventually discovered that Prue had inhabited the body of a comatose witch, and taken the identity of Patience. As Patience, Prue lived in Salem, Massachusetts, and runs "Salem Witch House", a tourist attraction.
