Paige Matthews

Paige Matthews is a fictional character from the American television series Charmed, played by Rose McGowan from October 4, 2001 until May 21, 2006. The character was created by executive producer Brad Kern as a replacement for Prue Halliwell (Shannen Doherty), in favor of having "a fresh face" join the series. Paige is introduced in season four as the fiercely independent younger half-sister and another Charmed One – one of the most powerful witches of all time. She had been the secret love child of the Halliwell sisters' mother Patty (Finola Hughes) and her whitelighter Sam Wilder (Scott Jaeck), making Paige both a witch and whitelighter. She was given up at birth and raised by her adoptive parents.

At the beginning of season four, Paige goes on to help reconstitute The Charmed Ones by taking Prue's place in the Power of Three, following her death in the season three finale. Paige initially possesses the power to orb objects from one location to another through a vocal command. As the series progresses, Paige also receives the whitelighter powers of orbing herself and others, as well as sensing, glamouring, and healing. Paige's storylines have often revolved around her protecting innocents and defeating the forces of evil in San Francisco with her sisters. In the later seasons, she eventually receives her own whitelighter charges to train and protect as they learn witchcraft. Paige also has relationships with fellow-witch Richard Montana (Balthazar Getty) in season six, and FBI agent Kyle Brody (Kerr Smith) in season seven. In the eighth and final season, Paige marries a human parole officer named Henry Mitchell (Ivan Sergei).
