Piper Halliwell was the second daughter of Patty Halliwell and Victor Bennett. She is the younger sister of Prue Halliwell and the older sister of Phoebe Halliwell and Paige Matthews. Piper is also the wife of Leo Wyatt and mother of their three children, Wyatt, Chris and Melinda.
Together with her sisters, Piper formed the Charmed Ones, the most powerful good witches in history. While originally the middle sister, Piper became the oldest upon her sister Prue's death and the discovery of her half-sister Paige. She was arguably the most powerful Charmed One and one of the most powerful witches ever.
Piper died in 2027 when she was fatally stabbed by a warlock while trying to save the life of her daughter and her boyfriend.
History
Early Life
Charmed Life
The Closing Chapter
Six months after the Ultimate Battle, Piper still had nightmares about what happened and had grown to resent Billie for what she had done. She was shocked to find Billie at her door during brunch and angrily confronted her. Meanwhile Billie, who had come to warn them about Christy's return, was overwhelmed by Piper's anger and hatred and ran off in tears. However, Leo later convinced his wife to hear Billie out.
Piper got another unpleasant surprise when Odin appeared, asking the Charmed Ones to reclaim Magic School. Piper refused to listen to him, though she was later convinced to help by Paige and Noah, a young Elder and a friend of Leo. When Phoebe returned with Billie, Piper was willing to listen to her and realized her anger was clouding her judgment about Billie.
Piper and her sisters managed to defeat the demons in Magic School while Billie confronted Christy. However, Christy possessed Billie and attacked the Charmed Ones, though Billie was eventually able to take back control and vanquished her sister once more by stripping her powers. Billie then revealed the Book of Shadows had showed her the potion. Piper decided to let Billie back into her life and forgive her.
That night, she went up to the attic and summoned her sister Prue for the first time since she died, confirming her beliefs that Prue had assisted Billie earlier.
The Once and Future Evil
In 2018, the future versions of Melinda and Prue appeared to warn the sisters Wyatt would turn evil. She was heartbroken and felt she had failed her son. Melinda then talked to her and revealed what exactly happened in the future and Piper found out she would die when trying to stop the Elders and Wyatt from fighting. She then decided she needed to find a way to prevent her son from turning evil.
Piper summoned the Angel of Destiny, who revealed that Wyatt was too powerful and that his power would always corrupt him. She then revealed the way to prevent this from happening. Piper then collected Excalibur with the future version of Chris and went to save her son. Once arrived in the Underworld, Piper stabbed her son with the sword to drain his power. She then used to vanquish his future self, which also destroyed the sword, while Paige healed the teenage Wyatt.
The Angel of Destiny later revealed that Piper had restored a flaw in the Grand Design before she sent the future cousins home. The Elder Sandra later appeared and offered Wyatt a part of his powers back, so he would be the same as his cousins and siblings. Meanwhile, the sisters decided to keep Wyatt's evil future a secret from the rest of the cousins.
Death
In 2027, Melinda introduced Ryan to her family as her boyfriend. However, Piper already knew Ryan since he was an employee at Les Trois, and she was happy and supportive about their relationship. During the dinner, Melinda was attacked by a warlock named Anders, who later kidnapped Ryan to make a deal with her for her powers. After finding his location through the love connection between Melinda and Ryan, Piper, Chris and Melinda went to face the warlock.
However, after freeing Ryan, Piper was fatally stabbed in her back by Anders, who was then vanquished by her children. Chris quickly orbed her home to be healed by Wyatt, only to discover that it was too late. Piper was then buried by her mourning family and her restaurant was placed in the care of Melinda and Ryan.
Legacy
When Barbas unveiled Wyatt's secret, Chris told him he could no longer trust him, and he summoned Piper for comfort.
Some time after, Piper appeared in a troubling dream of Phoebe concerning her time as Queen of the Underworld and losing her unborn son.
When Wyatt started dating Dylan he was tense not knowing how to tell Leo, so Piper decided to inform her husband. After telling the other relatives, Wyatt decided to do the same with his father and went to visit him. There he also found the spirit of Piper, who told him that he had told Leo everything, and that both approved.
When Wyatt left, Piper asked Leo if he could really accept that their son loved another man, he told her he would find a way. Satisfied, she returned to the afterlife.
