- "Those bastards sacrificed me in their stupid ritual. I lost my life for this stupid dome. So go ahead and vanquish them, give them what they deserve."
- —Taylor to Billie about the Brotherhood.
Taylor was a mortal college student and a close friend of Billie Jenkins. However, she was unaware of the existence of magic. She was later turned into a vampire after being sacrificed in a dark ritual by the Brotherhood. She subsequently became a Vampire Queen after betraying and vanquishing Irena.
History
Charmed
When the demons Haas and Black Heart were abducting teenagers and driving them insane in an attempt to lure out the Charmed Ones, Taylor expressed her concern to Billie. However, Billie pretended not to care, while she was secretly following magical leads to stop the abductions.
The Closing Chapter
The following year, after Billie lost her parents and had been forced to vanquish her own sister, Taylor unsuccessfully tried to reach out to her. After Billie faced Christy in Magic School and her soul was put to rest, she started going to classes again and rekindled her friendship with Taylor.
The Gemini Factor
Billie and Taylor had a falling out when Taylor believed Billie had replaced her with new friends. Billie pondered whether or not to tell her the truth and tried to make up with her by inviting her to P3. Unfortunately, Billie was forced to leave Taylor behind when she and Duncan faced a magical emergency. She later confronted Billie and ended their friendship. Taylor was then kidnapped by the demon Klea and used as a sacrifice in a spell performed by Bacarra to engulf the city in darkness.
City of Darkness
After being sacrificed, Taylor was turned into a vampire by Irena and kept asleep for several days. When she finally woke up, the desire for blood was overwhelming and she fed on a teenage boy, completing her transformation. Her new queen then manipulated her against Billie, fueling her hate.
When Billie and her friends arrived to vanquish the vampires, Taylor attacked and nearly killed Billie, though she was interrupted by Jake Porter. She later fought Billie a second time after nearly killing the captured Jake. Billie defeated Taylor, but hesitated in vanquishing her. When Billie fought Irena, Taylor interfered and staked her queen, telling Billie that she wanted to be the one to kill her.
By killing her queen, Taylor vanquished the entire hive and became the new queen after taking in the essence of Irena. She then told Billie that she wanted the Brotherhood destroyed for what they had done to her, and said their paths would cross again before turning into a bat and escaping.
Vision quest
A manifestation of Taylor appeared before Billie during her vision quest.
