Prue Halliwell

Prue Halliwell is a powerful witch and the eldest sister of Piper and Phoebe. She is responsible, strong, and a kick-ass fighter. Prue uses her powers to protect innocents and defeat the forces of evil in San Francisco. She also has romantic relationships with her old high school flame Inspector Andy Trudeau and fellow auction house employee Jack Sheridan. In the third season, Prue is forced to marry the warlock Zile in a dark marriage ceremony, but their marriage soon ends after he is vanquished. In the season three finale, Prue is attacked by Shax, a powerful demonic assassin sent by The Source of All Evil. After Doherty departed the series, this attack was revealed to be fatal. She was replaced in season four by Rose McGowan, who played the long-lost younger half-sister Paige Matthews.
