Piper Halliwell
Piper Halliwell was brought up the middle sister, shaping her persona. She tended to be in the middle often, between big sister, Prue and their little sister, Phoebe. Now she's the oldest, after Prue's death and Paige's emergence as the lost fourth Halliwell. Piper is quite sensible and, despite ocassional periods of insecurity, seems to be the most grounded sister, happiest in her skin. Piper's ability is an awesome one ~ she can freeze objects in time with just a hand gesture. Since the beginning of the show, she has sharpened her skill so that she can freeze selectively, by thinking of who or what she wants to stop, and has now developed the power to blow up objects ~ like demons.
She fell in love with Leo, the sisters' protective Whitelighter, but their romantic road has been bumpy, including one stretch of time when Piper asked Leo to leave her alone, as the pain of their "forbidden" love was too much for her. Her mother had died becasue she fell in love with her Whitelighter ~ she was protecting him when she died ~ and romantic attachments between witches and their protective guardians were taboo because of just that kind of situation. During this time Piper was involved with Dan, an attractive, sweet man who had moved into the house next door, but the love she and Leo shared proved too strong, they reconciled, and Dan moved away. Piper and Leo were forbidden to be together by the Elders ~ Leo's bosses ~ because TPTB did not feel Leo and Piper could do their respective jobs if they were worried only about each other.
After a great deal of self-sacrifice, proving that they understand no one person, no matter how important, is more important than their responsiblity to an innocent, Piper and Leo married, with the blessing of TPTB. Piper gave birth in S5 to her first child, a boy they've named Wyatt Matthew Halliwell ~ Wyatt for Leo's last name, Matthew for Paige's last name, and Halliwell, as it's the traditional family name, feared among the powers of evil and respected among the good. Unfortunately, Leo and Pipe have broken up again, because Leo was 'promoted' to Elder, which means he's not able to be on Earth with his family
