I didn't get into the series until I happened to catch a little bit of it on TNT one morning. That was in the beginning when Prue was still alive. I started to watch it out of curiosity and then I got really into the show, as I found myself wanting to watch it every day before and after school.
The three main characters in the show are Piper Halliwell, Phoebe Halliwell, Prue Halliwell (until she dies) and Paige Mathews-Halliwell (the half sister).

She has a big heart and tries to help people find love, but she has a hard time finding love of her own.

She also knows a lot of the martial arts. The sisters also call her on a lot to write spells, she's known to be very good at it. Lord knows that it would be so unreal to be able to do what Phoebe does and how your
