Piper Halliwell (CRRU)

"Stay away from my Sisters!"

- Piper Halliwell to Jeremy Burns.

Piper Victoria Halliwell is the firstborn daughter of Patricia Halliwell and the oldest of the three Charmed Ones. As the oldest, Piper is tempered, nurturing, and sweet and does everything she can to lookout for her two younger sisters.

Of the three Charmed Ones, Piper holds the designation of the Sister of Time and is blessed with the power to control time within a localized area: either slowing or freezing time, accelerating and inducing rapid aging, or reversing it to undo effects.

Her powers center around controlling space-time by controlling the speed between dimensions.

Early life
Piper was born on June 1st, 1996 to Patricia Johnson, a descendant of the Warren Line, and Victor Halliwell, a mortal. She showed signs of her magical heritage as early as the day of her birth: freezing the entire hospital ward she in. Two years later, in 1998, her sister Phoebe was born on November 22nd, with her baby sister Paige being born two years after that in the turn of the century: August 7th, 2000.

Personality
"Stay with your sisters, Piper. Don't give up on them like your Father did"

- Penny Johnson, to Piper

Piper can be described as a mothering type of person, which can be attributed to the fact that she is eldest of her sisters. As the oldest, Piper was groomed by her Grams from a young age to be the next family Matriarch, with one of her duties being to look after her younger sisters. Piper is caring and compassionate: often described as heart of the family and the glue that ties the Charmed Ones together.

It is worth noting that Piper's astrological sign is Gemini. While she's very versatile and adaptable, Piper is also stubborn and impatient, and has a tendency to doubt herself and her abilities when things don't go the way she expects. Because of this, she is often prone to anxiety attacks and moments of explosive anger when pushed too far. That said, Piper is, deep-down, a natural leader who doesn't break easily and is capable of extraordinary feats when her back is against the wall.

More than anything, Piper is fiercely protective of her two younger sisters. There isn't anything she wouldn't do for Phoebe and Paige, and Piper is willing to go to any length to them, no matter the cost.

Physical Appearance
Piper is a young woman in her early twenty's. Like her sisters, Piper favors her mother in appearance: having the same fair skin and deep brunette hair, and warm brown eyes...

Magical Characteristics
Piper is a Witch: a certain type of magical being with a natural aptitude for the magical arts. As a Charmed One, Piper is among the most powerful magical beings in history. As noted by the Elders, as the firstborn of the Charmed Ones, Piper possesses a wealth of incredible power: so much so that it caused her original Gift of Temporal Stasis to evolve into full Temporal Manipulation. Both Paige and Phoebe have stated that Piper's magic power is greater than their own, and the sorcerer Tempus has said that Piper might be the strongest member of the Warren Line since Brianna Bowen.

Of the Charmed Ones, Piper holds the designation as the Sister of Time.

Skills and Basic Powers

 * Divination: The ability to gain insight into a question or situation using an occultic, standardized process or ritual.
 * Mediumship: The ability to see and commune with spirits of the dead.
 * Nature Channeling: The ability to channel and harness the energies/powers of the earth
 * Potion Making: The ability to brew potions.
 * Spell Casting: The ability to cast spells and perform rituals.

Active Powers

 * Temporal Manipulation: Piper inherited Melinda Warren's Gift of Temporal Stasis, but her double status as a firstborn Witch and a Charmed One caused the power to evolve into full Temporal Manipulation: the power to alter the flow (speed) of time. With this power, Piper is known as a "Chronomancer" and is one of a handful on the entire planet. When this power first manifested, Piper struggled with controlling it: each aspect of time controlling ability being triggered without Piper's conscious command and her hold was brief. Through practice and some trial and error, Piper has learned to fully harness her power and is already on her way to mastering it. While the effects of her power are great, Piper cannot affect time against those who are truly protected by means such as a Force-Field or being in a room that is closed off to her. When outside, her range is considerably extended and stretches to roughly the entirety of Prescott street. An area that Piper has affected the flow of time in will remain under Piper's control until she cancels her power or it wears off by itself.
 * Temporal Stasis: Piper's first and arguably most used aspect of her Temporal Manipulation was that of Temporal Stasis. To activate this power, Piper has to flick her hands out while fully throwing her arms out in front of herself. With this ability, Piper is able to completely halt the movement of everything in her immediate vicinity: everything becoming immobile while Piper herself is able to move around freely and undisturbed. While this power was initially all-encompassing, Piper quickly mastered it and has learned how to selectively freeze and unfreeze objects or areas of her choosing. Once something has been "frozen" they remain that way and can handle a certain amount of magical activity being used on or around them, before Piper's freeze gets disrupted.
 * Temporal Reduction:  By flicking her hands, Piper can reduce time to the point that objects and beings move in slow motion. Those who are caught in Piper's "slowing" perceive the world as moving in blurring speeds, while Piper herself is still able to move around normally, giving her the illusion of enhanced speed. Like her more powerful freezing ability, Piper's slowing magic is developed enough that she can selectively affect and un-affect objects and beings around her. While not as strong as her freezing ability, Piper has noted that the effect is longer lasting and the range is somewhat greater as well.
 * Temporal Acceleration: Piper can accelerate the speed of time to induce different effects. She first used this aspect to disintegrate an athame by accelerating its age to the point that it rusted and turned to dust. She has since learned to use this power more offensively, by aging objects and causing damage based off of said accelerated aging. She used this ability against a Dark Witch and caused her skin to whither and break away as her bones turned brittle and cracked.
 * Temporal Reversion: Piper can reverse the flow of time and cause it to move in the opposite direction. Piper first showed this ability when she reversed time just after freezing Chef Moore; allowing her to finish her dish on time. Since then, she has learned to use this ability on objects thrown or around her, and later grew to where she can use it on both mortal and magical beings, such as when witnessed a Grimlock attack a child. Piper waved her hands and causing the grimlock and the child to move away from each other, while also affecting the attack done to the child and keeping them safe from harm. Piper later used this ability in the season finale to reverse an attack from a Demon.
 * Temporal Perception: As a Chronomancer, Piper is able to sense the presence of other Chronomancers. She can also sense out and detect timeslips and alterations in the timestream. This allows her to know if another Chronomancer is using their powers and what they're using them to do.
 * Spatial Intangibility: Piper's second power is that of becoming intangible by "halting her dimensional existence" and "shifting into another one", allowing her to phase through solid matter and energies. Through this, Piper is able to phase through objects such as walls, trees, vehicles, and even the ground beneath her harmlessly. When Piper moves through something, the surface object of whatever she's passing through becomes distorted as her spatial magic takes effect, while Piper herself remains solid.
 * Projective Phasing: From her first experience, Piper was able to phase her clothing and objects on her person with her. Through training, Piper has learned to bring more heavier objects through her phasing by keeping contact with them. Later, her power developed to where she could cause objects to sink into the ground by placing her hand on it, with only the objects she wanted to sink through being affected.
 * Portal Creation: Piper's third and final power is the ability to create portals that she can use to travel from location. Lavender in color, these portals take the form of "vacuum-like windows" in space in which multiple objects or beings can go through. According to Piper herself, these portals are connected through "dimensional vibrations" that run throughout Space-Time, and such are able to bypass most defenses and abilities without difficulty. Though she mostly uses this ability for defensive and supplementary purposes, Piper has been know to use her portals offensively by opening a portal around a something and effectively shredding or destroying it.

Other

 * Limited Invulnerability: The ability to be highly resistant to magical and physical attacks and survive otherwise lethal attacks.
 * The Power of Three: The bond and connection between Piper and her sisters; the Charmed Ones.

Equipment

 * Pewter Heart: Piper is the current own of the Pewter Heart: an locked that was given to Melinda Warren and used to curse Matthew Tate into it. According to legend, it must never be opened or Matthew will attempt to destroy all descendants of the Warren Line. Piper wears the locket as a way to remember Melinda and as a reminder to herself of her duties as a Charmed One.
