History
Paige Matthew's history is unusual to say the least. She was adopted by a wonderful, loving couple Helen and Mark Matthews; and was their only child. But that's where Paige's story is different for other adopted children......because of what and who her birth parents were. And that would remain a mystery for many years, until the death of Prue Halliwell.
Paige's birth mother was a witch named Patricia "Patty" Halliwell and her birth father is a Whitelighter named Samuel "Sam" Wilder. Sam was Patty's Whitelighter, and relationships between witches and Whitelighters was strictly forbidden at the time. Patty already had three older children, who were destined to become the long awaited Charmed Ones. Out of fear of what would not only happen to them, but to their daughter and to Patty's three other children, Patty and Sam choose to give their precious baby girl up for adopt right after she was born. The couple took their daughter to a nearby church and left her with a young nun. Patty's only request was that the nun find a good loving home for her baby, and that her first name begin with the letter P.
Helen and Mark Matthews fell instantly in love with their baby girl as soon as they saw her and honored her birth mother's simple request and named her Paige. The result of Paige being given up for adopt allowed her sisters Prue, Piper and Phoebe to fulfill their destiny and become the Charmed Ones, and allowed Paige to grow up as a normal child, because she was not being watched over by the Elders.
While growing up, Paige never bothered asking about her birth parents....not often. Helen and Mark were open with Paige about the fact that she was adopted, but also were constantly reassuring her that despite that, she was the love of their lives and their daughter, no matter what. Paige was a happy carefree child, with no idea of what lied in store for her. Her school life was pretty straight forward. But when she became a teenager, that's when problems began to arise; and Paige began walking down a very dangerous road, and it frightened her parents. Name a rule, any rule, and you can bet Paige broke it. Whether it was sneaking out of the house, cutting class, smoking, and drinking.
When Paige was 17, in her senior year of high school, things were at their worst, and her parents didn't know what else to do in order to save their daughter. But tragedy was about to take a horrible turn for Paige, but would ultimately save her life and expand it.
The Accident
Paige was in her first term of her senior year of high school, a mere 17 years of age. It was family dinner night and she and her parents were driving to one of their favorite places to eat. This is a moment in time Paige never could completely understand and always felt guilty about....that is until she became a witch. While driving, Paige's father didn't see another car swerve into their lane; and the two cars collided. Paige could never figure out how or why she was found clear of the car, laying on the curb, while the car containing her parents exploded, killing them. Paige would later learn that she always had magic, always had the ability to Orb; and that it's this ability that saved her from dying in that same car crash with her parents.
Paige was determined to prove to her parents that she wasn't a bad daughter, and to honor their memory. She cleaned herself up, and got good grades in her last year of high school. She wrote a powerful essay about their death and was accepted to UC Berkley. She got a degree in social work and began working for Social Services where she dedicated herself to helping others....especially the children.
It wasn't until years later, with the help of a magical being named Clyde, and her brother-in-law Leo, that Paige was able to travel back in time and discover why she survived the car crash. This trip was able to easy her guilt some, because just before they died she was able to make her parents realize that she wasn't a bad daughter.....that she was just a little lost.
After her college graduation, Paige got a job with South Bay Social Services as an assistant, and she was really glad to have her job, but was definitely working towards the goal of being a social worker. For almost two years her life was pretty normal. Paige went to work, had an apartment, and even went out on some dates. But her curiosity about her birth parents began to creep up, and she began doing a search into her background.
Her search lead her to a popular night club called p3, where for awhile she even wondered if she wasn't related to the three sisters who owned the club. Out of curiosity, Paige began going to p3, in the hopes of catching a glimpse of one of the Halliwell sisters who owned it.
Sisters And Witchcraft
And then one day Paige was reading in the newspaper about how the eldest Halliwell sister, Prue had passed away. Paige couldn't explain why but she felt compelled to attend the services. She also for some odd reason felt like a part of her had died as well. Not knowing really why, Paige found herself attending Prue's funeral, where she went through the line, giving her condolences to the family. The truth is, it was a spell cast by Piper, in an attempt to bring Prue back, that brought Paige's attention to the notice in the paper and compelled her to attend the funeral.
And that's where her life changed forever. As she was shaking Phoebe's hand, Phoebe had a premonition showing the same demon who killed Prue, killing Paige. With Cole's help, Phoebe was able to keep that from happening, but she and Piper were in for the shock of their lives when it was reveled to them that Paige was their long lost baby sister.....and a sister witch as well.
There was a catch though, now that Paige's full powers had been awakened, there was the infamous 24 hour window in which she could choose whether to be good or evil. The Source of all Evil did his best to lure Paige to his side, but in the end, destiny and family bond won out. And 24 hours after Prue's funeral, Paige found herself standing in the attic of Halliwell Manor, reciting a spell along side Piper and Phoebe, vanquishing the demon who had killed Prue....a demon named Shax\Shax.
At first it was all just too weird and too much for Paige to handle, and she wanted nothing to do with it. Sure, she found the powers bit kinda cool, but she felt she was too young to have such responsibilities as being the protector of the innocent. It took some time to get used to all of it, especially knowing that she actually had sisters....let alone that she and they where witches and not ordinary witches but three of the most powerful witches the world had ever known. Eventually though, Paige began to feel a sisterly bond forming between herself and Piper and Phoebe. And not too long after that, she moved into Prue's old bedroom at Halliwell Manor. At first Paige wasn't sure if moving into Prue's old bedroom was right; but she was assured by Piper and Phoebe that she could redecorate it anyway she wanted, that she could make it into her room....and that Prue would want her to.
Henry
As time went on, Paige got better and better at witchcraft and her powers grew. She became more confident in her abilities as a witch. And the Elders felt it was time for her to begin her duties as a Whitelighter as well. And at first Paige resisted, protesting that she wasn't a Whitelighter, that she was a witch. But with a little innocent trickery on the part of the Elders, Paige finally accepted that perhaps she could be both. And it's a good thing too, otherwise she may never have met the man who would become her husband and the father of her children....Henry Mitchell.
Paige was in search of her newest charge, a young boy with a bright future ahead of him, if Paige could keep him out of trouble. And just as she found him, he was being taken into custody by his parole officer, Henry Mitchell. Paige knew her charge, who went by the nickname Breeze, couldn't be guilty of what Henry was claiming. And luckily for Breeze, she was able to prove it.
At first Paige resisted, but she soon realized that she was beginning to have feelings for Henry; what she didn't know was that he was having feelings for her as well. Eventually they went out on their first date. And once Paige was sure about her feelings, she decided it was time to tell Henry her secret. Once she did, Paige then looked away, telling him he could leave if he wanted to. To her joy and surprise, Henry didn't leave. The couple began to fall in love and eventually Henry proposed to her; and Paige happily accepted.
However, their happy ended was possibly not meant to be, when Paige and her sisters learned that they would have to battle another pair of powerful sisters....Billie and Christy Jenkins. And after failing their first attempt at the battle, which resulted in Paige and Phoebe dying. Piper and Leo with the help of a magical ring belonging to a Cupid named Coop, traveled back in time and were able to change the outcome of the battle, bringing Paige and Phoebe back to life. After her near death experience, Paige suggested to Henry that their engagement party be turned into their wedding, and Henry agreed. The couple were married at Halliwell Manor on February 26, 2006.
However, after the wedding Paige began having trouble transitioning herself from single lady to married lady, and was afraid of loosing herself. This is a problem that happens to this day from time to time, she'll get scared that she's going to loose herself and forget who she is. But thanks to Coop, Paige and Henry were able to work out those last little problems that were causing Paige to have this fear and they then began their happy married life together.
Not even hardly two months had gone by when Paige discovered she was pregnant, and having twins to boot. This was a shock to her as twins didn't run in the Warren/Halliwell line. Henry wasn't sure, as he didn't know anything about his birth family but he didn't think their were twins on his side either. Henry was terrified at the thought of not only raising twin daughters....but twin witches; daughters they named Tamora and Katherine. Especially when they were small and wouldn't understand that they couldn't use their powers in public. But Henry loved his children so he was willing to do what ever he had to. In fact Paige and Henry would go on to adopt another child, a boy they named Henry Mitchell Jr.
Charges And Meeting Prue
By now Paige was very comfortable in her ability to guide young witches, despite having some losses in this area. But one of her biggest losses was a young witch named Brent, who was murdered by the world's first witch, a woman named Neena and a warlock named Hogan. Brent had been going down the wrong path in life and Paige was very close to helping him straighten things around, but this never came to be.
This loss however triggered a reaction in Paige, a motivation even stronger than before to fight evil. However, this motivation was severely tested when the Source of all Evil was resurrected and cast a spell, which turned everyone against the Charmed Ones. This spell resulted in Henry attacking Paige, and nearly choking her to death. Once the spell was reversed and the Source gone, again, for now; Paige and her Sisters realized that he would never truly be gone for good....that like fear, evil would always come back.
However, even after the spell was reversed, Henry remembered what he had done and felt horrible guilt over it and began to distance himself from Paige. It was during this time that Paige and her sisters found a teenage homeless girl, murdered in an alley. To Paige's horror the young girl was pregnant. Paige wasn't sure if she could do anything to save the unborn child, but had to try. Paige held out her hands and loudly yelled "Baby", Orbing the baby out of its mother's womb and into her waiting arms.
=================
.....a motivation that would bite Paige in the ass.after the twins were born paige began guiding young witches towards the magic school she had once run. whether it was witches they came across on their charmed duties, or her young charges. while she had some successes, she also had some failures. like a young witch named brent, who was murdered by neena (the first witch) and hogan (a warlock) before he had the chance to straighten up his act and learn his magic properly from magic school. the loss triggered a renewal of motivation for the against evil. a motivation that would eventually bite her in the ###. and then there was the source. the source of all evil would never full be gone…and it would always come back. with good, came evil. they would forever be woven together. this time the resurrection of evil brought along a spell, that turned everyone against the charmed ones. everyone. even henry. he nearly strangled her, which gave her no choice but to knock him out using her power. he felt so guilty about hurting her…and the potential that he could have killed her was too much. henry distanced himself from her, and things between them got a bit bumpy.
no one ever said being a charmed one and a whitelighter was boring. however, sometimes it was a bit strange. on september 9, 2008 paige attempted to save a mortal homeless girl from a darklighter. she, or maybe the baby she was carrying, was a target for the evil being. healing the mum didn't work, but just moments after she died paige panicked and orbed the fully developed baby from the womb. there was only one thing to do. take the baby home. but home wasn't exactly perfect. her marriage was a bit rocky, but that wasn't the child's fault. it took some time, but after some reassurance and good advice from a mortal man caught up in it all, victor halliwell, he was able to once again accept who paige was…who his children were. he was even able to accept henry jr, who was officially named as such. henry wasn't the only mortal in the house anymore.
the happiness didn't last long - because a surprise attack from neena left paige hovering between life and death. henry's worst fear was coming to life. but through it all he'd learned a lesson - dead doesn't always mean dead when it comes to being in the halliwell family. while on the other side kyle, who had become an elder, was able to guide her to communicate with her sister and tap into the magic of her entire family line to defeat the first witch. while on the other side she got to see her adoptive parents, her birth mother…grandmother…and the sister she never got to meet in life. and then there was melinda warren. she'd nearly lost herself in all the happiness - but in the end they did as they needed to. neena was defeated and a power of three spell was able to return paige to her body.
by now it was summer of 2010. tamora and kat were really coming into their powers. and henry's fears were increasing. paige didn't want to bind their powers. she wanted to let them grow up like witches…being aware of who they were. her own experience was much different. she didn't know her family, let alone that she was a witch. it took tamora setting the house on fire for paige to finally comply with henry's pleas. she went against her beliefs and bound their powers. they still grew up around magic - but they were no longer targets for demons because of their powers. but they would always be targets because they were her children. they also couldn't cause any damage…and henry could raise them like regular little girls. there was certainly something to some amount of normalcy in their lives.
normalcy…what's that? paige can hardly tell the difference anymore. the universe was not finished messing with the charmed ones…and at this point the youngest sister is sure it will never be finished. she followed a trail to salem to help bring a young witch, sarah, to magic school. it was never good to force anyone to attend, as they'd learned in the past, but instead to introduce them…show them the possibilities that were out there for them. but her searching didn't lead her to sarah. it lead her to prue. when she arrived in sarah she saw cole standing guard. no amount of argument from him was going to keep paige from going through that door. that was where she found patience. not the virtue. but a woman who called herself patience.
paige had only met prue once, on the other side. then she had looked the way the photographs had shown her. long dark hair, square face and pretty eyes. the woman that stood in front of her in salem looked nothing like the prue she met. the two ended up in a battle of wits, and it ended with a few 'booms'. paige brought "patience" to the attic of the halliwell manor, and when piper and phoebe saw her they instantly recognized the soul of their older sister.
not knowing how to take the discovery, paige went directly to henry. no matter how tough things had been for them - he was always there for her. henry, sadly, was frozen along with the rest of the west coast because the charmed powers were now out of whack. there were four sister…and paige knew what she had to do. she had to give up being a witch. return the balance of power to the original charmed ones. she returned to the manor and quickly got to work on potions for prue and piper.
bailey, the librarian at magic school, had come by looking for her regarding a student - but stayed and helped with potions. paige confided in her about her doubts about staying a charmed one. she wasn't even sure she was still a charmed one. the youngest sister went as far as making a power stripping potion. it might not be so bad…being mortal. the girls would be safe…the whole family would be without power. a normal life.
but it wasn't her destiny. prue took the potion herself before paige had the chance to. the eldest sister reassured her that being a charmed one was in paige's destiny…and that it was time for her to move on. prue went back to salem…but the halliwell sisters weren't separated for long. the darklighter that had killed henry jr's birth mother was after the nexus of all. the world reversed itself. those who had once had magic, no longer do…and those who were mortal…now had magic. henry and henry jr. were displaying powers…and prue had received all of the charmed magic.
[it took nearly everyone they knew helping - but the battle against rennek to gain control of the nexus of all was won…and magic was properly restored. paige's powers returned…and truthfully, she was grateful. although she'd promised herself countless times, she promised never to take them for granted. prue stayed to guard the nexus…but she was sacrificing a lot. she used magic to create a replica of the manor. it was on a different plane all together, and cole could cross easily from one side to the other. as much as she disliked the half-demon, it was her only way to get messages and things across to her sister.
paige had no idea what was going on between prue and cole until things were quite serious…and eventually the oldest sister became pregnant. a dead witch who had returned as someone else, only to become herself again…and then carry a half-demon's child. the power of the nexus certainly had quite a bit to do with it…but it was still hardly believable at first. from early on, prue's baby had an affinity for her. anytime paige orbed in to visit her sister felt less sick, or there was no more movement from the child. it was the same after charlotte was born. every time paige visited the magically replicated manor the little baby calmed when she was around
her twins were unbound at the age of 7, and they started attending magic school. it was important to paige that they learn how to control their powers. henry wasn't excited about them being unbound so young, but he eventually agreed. the girls started magic school in their second grade - which was much later than many other magical kids. henry attended mortal school, but he was very much aware of the magical world. he was bound as much as they were to keeping magic secret from other mortals. a burden, no doubt.
as time went on prue's daughter was growing up to…but twice the rate of a normal child. by the time charlotte was 8 years old, she had aged to be 16. paige was worried that she would only get to live half a life. she did loads of research, until they realized it wasn't the union of a witch and a demon, but instead it was because of their closeness to the nexus of all. after they learned the truth - prue, cole, and charlotte moved from salem to san francisco. it was nice to have the family back together again, and it gave the younger cousins a chance to really get to know each other and grow up together.
paige is a full time whitelighter now, and she still directs her younger charges to magic school. about two months ago the teacher that taught the whitelighter skills class was killed by a darklighter. she was asked to fill in the role until a permanent teacher could be found. she accepted, just glad they weren't asking her to return as the headmistress. her marriage with henry is strong, but they often still struggle with the mortal vs magical problems. at the end of the day they love each other, and they've been married for nearly 15 years and she couldn't imagine her life without him and their family
Can someone help me figure out what's going on so I can return to visual mode
