Charmed - Prue Halliwell
Prue Halliwell
Prudence Halliwell, more commonly known as Prue, was played by Shannen Doherty and starred in 67 Charmed episodes, from seasons 1 to 3.
Born October 28, 1970, Prue is the eldest Halliwell sister. Born with the power of telekinesis, she later manifests the astral projection ability.
On March 24th 1975 she was visited by a future version of herself and in November after Prue's sisters had been born, their grandmother; Penny, bound their powers to stop them being stolen and used by evil entities.
Strong-willed, feisty and intelligent, she would often take charge of situations and has always been overprotective of her two sisters, Piper and Phoebe. Having spent her childhood taking care of her two younger sisters after the death of their mother, she became responsible, with a fierce determination at whatever she did, including fighting demons.
This sense of responsibility occasionally leads to clashes with the more free-willed Phoebe, but the two grow closer as the series progresses. Though at times Prue lets pride dictate her way of handling things, she never lets her personal life interfere with her work life.
On May 17, 2001, 3 years new to the craft she is killed by Shax, a demonic assassin sent by the Source of All Evil. While in the episode "Death Takes a Halliwell" the Angel of Death foreshadowed Prue's death, "All Hell Breaks Loose" remained as a cliff-hanger.
Prue's death is only established in the premiere episode of the Fourth Season, "Charmed Again". Shannen Doherty never appeared on-screen as Prue again, except in the fifth season episode "Cat House", during the "flashbacks" that the girls visit, though Prue's face is never shown, only her back, and due to the fact the scene was on a motorcycle, it has been disputed that it was a stunt double.
Even in the after life Prue still helps her sisters, it has been suggested that she sometimes turns the pages of the Book of Shadows, and in the season seven finale, Prue lends her astral projection power to the sisters. This is indicated by Piper saying "Thank you, Prue," after the spell's effect is over.
