The Charmed Ones (CRRU)

"We're the most powerful trio of Witches ever! We're known as The Charmed Ones."

- Phoebe to her sisters.

The Charmed Ones, also known as the Charmed Trinity and the Charmed Sisterhood, are a prophesized trio of Sister-Witches who descend from the Warren Line. They are known as the most powerful collective of Witches to have ever walked the earth, and are dedicated to their duties as Witches.

Each of the three Charmed Ones inherited their powers from their powerful Ancestress Melinda Warren and are tied to the Three Essentials of Magic. According to Melinda Warren's Prophecy, the Sister of Time has the power to affect time, while the Sister of Spirit has the power to see through time, and the Sister of the Moon has the power to move objects with her mind.

The magical bond between these sisters is known as The Power of Three, and is said to be the strongest form of magic in the world. It is represented by the ancient symbol called the Triquetra.

Ancient History
Like all Witches, the Charmed Ones are descended from Witch-Queen Lilith...

Melinda Warren
""You can kill me, but you cannot kill my kind. With each generation, the Warren witches will grow stronger and stronger—until, at last, three sisters will arrive. Together, these three sisters will be the most powerful witches the world has ever known, they will defeat all kinds of evil. They will be known as The Charmed Ones"

- Melinda Warren's last words before being burned at the stake.

The first written prophecy and actual naming of the of the Charmed Ones dates back to Melinda Warren: a powerful Witch and a direct descendant of Morgana. Born on Samhain of 1670 in the state of Virginia, Melinda was a rare transmigrant: a person who housed a wandering spirit. In Melinda's case, she housed the spirit of Witch-Queen Lilith. With Lilith's spirit empowering her own, Melinda had a unique connection to the Three Essentials of Magic that allowed her to develop powerful abilities connected to each one. Known as the Warren Gifts, these powers were Chronocognition, Temporal Stasis, and Telekinesis: the three powers that would go on to from the basis of all of the Warren Powers passed down through her descendants.

As a child, Melinda was a noted prodigy among the man Witches in her coven: more powerful than all of them, with instinctual knowledge and skill that surpassed all others. As she grew older, Melinda went on to create the Book of Shadows: binding it to her spirit and her blood, to ensure it would be kept within her family. At some point, met a man named William Jackson and soon married him, though he soon left to fight in the war. Following that, she met a male Witch named Matthew Tate and had two children with him, a son named Beauford and a daughter named Prudence.

Together with Matthew and their children, Melinda relocated to Salem Massachusetts and worked as a midwife. However, Melinda was betrayed by Matthew who'd become a Warlock: being outed as a Witch and sentenced to death. Sentenced to be burned at the stake, Melinda reached out to Lilith within her and used her power to invoke a Prophecy that affected the Grand Design itself. Following that, Melinda allowed herself to be burned to save her son and daughter, who hadn't yet come into their own powers.

The Arrival of the Sisters
"Hear now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night, the oldest of Gods are invoked here, the great work of magic is sought. In this night and in this hour, I'll call upon the ancient power, bring your powers to we sisters three, we want the power, give us the power."

- Phoebe reciting the Dominus Trinus spell, and unlocking her and her sisters powers.

Piper and Phoebe Halliwell were born in 1996 and 1998 respectively, to Patricia Johnson and Victor Halliwell. After Phoebe was born, Patty and Victor began having marriage problems and chose to separate for a time being, meeting up every now and again. During this time, Patty fell in love with her Whitelighter Sam Wilder and had a brief love-affair with him that resulted in Patty's third daughter, Paige. Since Angels and Witches were forbidden to be together, Patty broke things off with Sam and told everyone that Paige was Victor's daughter.

In the year 2006, Patty was killed by a Water Demon protecting her daughters from a Water Demon. This event exposed Paige as being half Whitelighter and Victor ultimately chose to leave as the revelation that Paige wasn't his daughter combined with the constant demon attacks grew to be too much for him. As he left, he made a deal with Penny that he would take care of the girls financial needs in exchange for her binding the girls's powers and wipe their memory's of having magic.

In the year 2019, Penny died and Phoebe chose to move away to track down Victor. Six months later, returned and moved back in with Piper and Paige. That same night, Phoebe went up to the attic after being directed by the family Spirit Board and found the Warren Book of Shadows. After opening it and reading through it, she case the Dominus Trinus spell and unbound her and her sisters powers, making them the realized Charmed Ones.

Powers and Abilities
As Witches, the Charmed Ones have a natural affinity for the mystic arts and of the Charmed Ones have shown particular skill at one of the basic components of Witchcraft. Piper is the best when it comes to potion making due to her own love of cooking and baking, while Phoebe is the best when it comes to spells and ritual knowledge as result of her own natural creativity, and Paige is the best when it comes to Divination due to her own natural sense of curiosity and ambition.

Aside from this, the Charmed Ones are also endowed with a great aptitude for natural magic; possessing great internal magical cores that can be used whenever and wherever they please.

Unique Powers
Aside from their base abilities as Witches, each Charmed One is also in possession of their own personal powers. These powers are linked to the Three Essential of Magic, and grow and develop with them. Each of the Charmed Ones possess one of Melinda Warren's three Gifts of Telekinesis, Temporal Stasis, and Chronocognition.

According to the Prophecy, each of the Charmed Ones are destined to develop three powers, much like Melinada Warren herself. These powers are separate, but linked to their original Warren Gift in a special theme.
