Paige Matthews (born August 2, 1977) is the youngest of the Charmed Ones: a sisterhood of demon-fighting witches destined to save the world, and the youngest half-sister to Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell, and older half-sister of Peyton Campbell. Paige is the result of the affair between their mother Patty and her Whitelighter Sam Wilder. Because relationships between witches and Whitelighters were strictly forbidden, Paige was given up in secret to a nun and later adopted by mortal parents who perished in a car accident during her teens. Paige spent the first 25 years of her life unaware of her true nature until the death of her half-sister Prue prompted Piper to cast a spell to call for a lost witch, summoning Paige to her two remaining, long-lost sisters and reconstituting the Charmed Ones.

Paige was left at a local church shortly after her birth, by her bio parents, and subsequently adopted by her parents. She met her maternal half-sisters, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, in 2001 after the death of her eldest half-sister Prue Halliwell. As the daughter of a witch and a Whitelighter, Paige is the Charmed One with the most powers, despite being the youngest sister to come into her Charmed legacy. Her powers include telekinetic orbing, orbing, healing, and the ability to generate an Orb Shield. Additionally, she also possesses the elemental powers of a witch: The ability to cast spells, brew potions, scry for lost objects or people, and divine for information, along with other typical Whitelighter powers. Furthermore, Paige can access the Power of Three, the collective power of the Charmed Ones that enhances their powers.

Besides her duties as a Charmed One, Paige is a full-time Whitelighter and works as a recruiter for Magic School when new witches come into their powers.

After battling with the Jenkins Sisters, Charmed Ones discover they have again a long-lost half-sister named Peyton Campbell from her mother's side. Piper and she become close and very protective over her, unlike Phoebe who is not into this sister stuff.

Relationships

Family Members

Adoptive Parents:

• Mrs. and Mr. Matthews: They were Paige's parents who adopted her in 1977 after Patty and Sam left her at the church. They named her Paige to honor the biological mother's request that the baby's name begins with a "P". Seeing as how Sister Agnes witnessed Paige's biological parents orb in and assumed they were angels, it is possible that Mr. and Mrs. Matthews knew, or at least suspected, that she was magical, depending on whether or not Sister Agnes told them. Paige went through a rebellious phase and treated her parents cruelly. They didn't know what to do with Paige, and their hopes of her going to college were dashed. Shortly before they died, they got into an argument with her in which she angrily told them they weren't her real parents - something which she regretted and felt much guilt over afterward. While driving home, the Matthews' car was crashed into by a truck and caught fire. While her parents died, Paige managed to escape the oncoming collision by orbing out of instinct, something which she had never done before and didn't do again until she met her sisters. Paige was devastated by the deaths of her parents, which she blamed herself for. She cleaned up her act by no longer using drugs or alcohol, and worked harder at school, to fulfill their hopes of her getting into college. She wrote an essay on their deaths that got her accepted into Berkeley, eventually going on to become a social worker. In the afterlife, Mr. and Mrs. Matthews continued to watch over Paige. They saw how Paige had improved drastically from her rebellious days and learned that she was a witch who helped protect innocent people. When her parents appeared to Paige as spirits, they comforted her and told her how proud they were of her, allowing her to finally move past their deaths.

Biological Parents:

• Patty Halliwell: Paige was Patty's fourth daughter with her whitelighter, Sam Wilder. Before her birth, it was forbidden to be together with a witch and whitelighter but it changed after Piper and Leo married. Patty gives Paige for adoption and leaves her in the church to Sister Agnes who will find her a good home without magic.
• Sam Wilder: Sam was Paige's biological father. They had an on/off father and daughter relationship at the beginning but it changed in season 8 when Paige finally called him dad and he orbs in.
• Victor Bennett: Paige is like another daughter to Victor Bennett, the father of her three older half-sisters. This comes as Paige's adoptive father died when she was a teenager and she never had much to do with her biological one.

Half-Siblings:

• Piper Halliwell: Piper is Paige's maternal half-sister. After her eldest sister, Prue's death, when she learned about the existence of another sister, and her mother hid it from them. She was angry, but she wasn't mad at Paige. They had a good relationship. When she became an older sister she was ready to protect her little sister from anyone!
• Phoebe Halliwell: Phoebe is Paige's maternal half-sister. Phoebe accepted Paige as her sister very quickly and felt an immediate bond with her. She wanted Paige to feel like a part of the family.
• Peyton Campbell: Peyton is Paige's maternal younger half-sister. They seem very close relationship like she and Phoebe. They felt an immediate bond with each other by talking about problems they had. Like Paige, Peyton was also adopted and grew up far away from her sisters. It seems Paige has a very close bond with Peyton unlike her other sisters Piper and Phoebe.
• Prue Halliwell: Prue was Paige's oldest maternal half-sister. They never meet because Prue dies after Paige meets her half-sisters Piper and Phoebe. She and Prue disliked Cole because they did not trust him. Both Prue and her true love were police officers. 

Children:

• Tam and Kat Mitchell: They were Paige and Henry's twin daughters who were born in Mid-2007 same day and time. Tamora and Kat, also have a younger adopted brother, called Henry Jr. Not being one for traditions, Paige decided to not carry on the Halliwell tradition. She and Henry chose these names out of their liking.
• Henry Mitchell Jr.: Henry Jr. is Paige and Henry's adopted son. He is the younger brother of Tamora and Kat. He was born to a mortal teenager who was killed by the darklighter and Paige saved his life by orbing him out of her womb. His biological father was later revealed to be Christopher Mercer, the son of a powerful criminal.

Romantic Life

Henry Mitchell

When Paige was trying to protect a future Whitelighter, she met Henry Mitchell, the parole officer of her charge. Initially, they had a rough start but learned to overcome their problems over time. Henry later located a baby named Ramon and handed him into Paige's care while trying to locate the father. In the part of the truth, he was using the opportunity to meet Paige again. Eventually, they begin to fall in love, and Paige uses her Whitelighter healing powers, for the first time by herself, to save Henry from a gunshot wound, triggered by her love for him. Paige finally worked up the courage and told Henry that she was a witch. A male witch named Simon Marks arrives and declares that he and Paige are destined to be married, but Paige refuses and tells him that she is in love with Henry. Simon and Henry fight for Paige with Henry coming out the victor. Soon after, Henry proposes to Paige and she accepts. They plan their wedding with the obvious troubles between an engaged couple with cold feet. However, the day of their engagement party eventually turns into their actual wedding day. Their marriage brought them unexpected twin daughters; Tamora and Kat Mitchell. They later adopt a baby boy and call him Henry Jr. The main struggle their marriage seems to have is the fact that Henry is mortal and magic is constantly putting their family in danger.

Powers and Abilities

Active Powers:

Every magical witch possesses a unique "active power" that manifests at a young age. However, Paige's witch powers remained inactive until she reunited with her sisters. Paige's status as a half-witch/half-Whitelighter gave her access to unique abilities not possessed by regular Whitelighters.

• Telekinetic Orbing - Paige inherited her late sister Prue's power of telekinesis; however, her Whitelighter-side caused her power to manifest itself as a hybrid form of telekinesis and orbing, allowing Paige to move/teleport objects via Whitelighter orbs.

• Deviation: The ability to manipulate your current magical power to deflect/send energies back in the direction they came from. Paige can send attacks back in mid-air or by calling for them and sending them back.
• Remote Orbing: The ability to orb other people from one place to another.

• Orb Shield - The ability to create barriers or spheres from orbs that can protect anyone within, by deflecting or absorbing magical attacks and repelling enemies. These shields can also be used to contain things, such as explosions.

Whitelighter Powers:

• Orbing: The ability to teleport oneself from one place to another with the use of orbs
• Glamouring: The ability to change one's appearance into the form of another.
• Hovering: The ability to rise a few feet in the air with or without the use of orbs.
• Light Manipulation: Creates a small light show to demonstrate her magic to Henry.
• Healing: The ability to heal the injuries and wounds of others. Paige could originally only channel this power through another Whitelighter but later learned to access it on her own. Her hybrid physiology also allows her to bend the healing rules of normal Whitelighters. Paige was able to fully heal half-demon Cole Turner while full Whitelighter Leo could not. This was possible as Paige's own hybrid physiology offset Cole's, allowing her, with Leo's help, to heal Cole.

• Partial Healing: The ability to heal the injuries of other beings. Due to her mixed heritage, Paige cannot access this power independently, only with help from another whitelighter. However, she is capable of healing evil beings, something that is prohibited for regular whitelighters.
• Healing Touch: the active power that enables a whitelighter or part-whitelighter to heal another's wounds or repair objects and clothing. It is limited to wounds that were inflicted by another, and whitelighters are incapable of healing demons or animals.

• Sensing: The ability to locate charges. This power does not work when one of Paige's charges is in the Underworld or vice versa.
• Cloaking: The ability to hide someone magically or herself from others. Paige can hide her charges by making them invisible to a select few.
• Omnilingualism: The ability to understand, speak, and read any language her charges speak, without training in it.

Basic Powers:

• Spell Casting

• Potion Making

• Scrying

• Mediumship

Other Powers:

Inactive Powers:

• The Power of Four - The collective power of the Charmed Ones enhances their powers between Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Peyton.
• High Resistance - This power causes Paige to be resistant to powers such as fireballs and other potentially lethal powers. 
• The Power of Three - The collective former power of the Charmed Ones enhances their powers between Piper, Phoebe, and Paige before their new sister (Peyton) enters their lives to collect the power of four.

• Artistic skills: Paige is a really good artist. She used to paint frequently during her early twenties but stopped because of all the demon-fighting.

• Tarot reading: Paige seems to have a good intuition and is an excellent Tarot reader.

Weaknesses

• The Destruction of the Sisterhood: Despite the Power of Three being one of her greatest strengths, it is also a burden. Being a Charmed One, she and her sisters are susceptible to the cycle of the sisterhood's destruction, where one Charmed One dies of unnatural causes due to the Power of Three whereas, after their eldest sister's death, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell lost the Power of Three... until the appearance of Paige Matthews.

• Imbalance: If Paige and her sisters are in conflict with each other, the Power of Three or Four will be undone, as well as their power. However, if the sisters reconcile, their powers will be restored.

• Darklighter Poison Arrow: Due to being half-Whitelighter, Paige is susceptible to the Darklighter arrow that is dipped in poison. 

Fears

• Small spaces (overcome): It is revealed that Paige has claustrophobia (a fear of enclosed spaces).

• Being a third wheel (overcome): N/A

• Wyatt being unsafe from Barbas: Paige has a fear of being unable to protect her nephew, Wyatt from Barbas a demon of fear. The same fear is also Phoebe.

• Losing a sister: It is revealed that Paige's last fear is losing one of her sisters.

• Not being able to live up to Prue (overcome): Paige had a slight inferiority complex towards Prue. Paige was jealous of the fact that Prue was a powerful witch, that also had a full-time job, while Paige, who quit her full-time job, hadn't quite mastered the skills Prue had, this left her feeling disappointed by the fact that she hadn't mastered Prue's Animal Conjuring Spell. Besides this, Paige felt that she had to work extremely hard to become accepted by her sisters and tried to fill Prue's shoes.

Desires

Enlightenment: Being able to use magic without consequence.

Notes:

• After the death of her older sister, Prue Halliwell, Paige was supposed to develop the power to move objects with her mind, but because of her Whitelighter half, the power she was supposed to have manifested as Telekinetic Orbing instead, much to the surprise of Piper and Phoebe.
• Due to her Whitelighter abilities, Paige has more powers than her sisters. However, she has fewer Wiccan powers than her sisters do; having only developed her second Wiccan power in Season 9.
• Paige is the last sister to develop powers on screen and is the first sister to develop a new power in the comics.
• Paige is the tallest of the Charmed Ones.

• Paige's zodiac sign is Leo.
• Paige is Wyatt Halliwell's godmother.

• Both Prue and Paige disliked Cole Turner.
• Like her older sisters, Prue and Phoebe Halliwell, Paige has gone through a rebellious stage as a teenager.
• Both Prue and Paige's true loves were police officers.
• Mylie said that Paige has a big underwater fanbase.
• Paige is the only sister who is a kind of Angel (Whitelighter) at birth instead of a transformation.
• Paige is the only Whitelighter-Witch hybrid that hasn't used regular Telekinesis as often as her Telekinetic Orbing.
• Paige is also the only Whitelighter-Witch to use regular telekinesis once in the entire series.
• Paige is claustrophobic.
• Out of all the sisters, Paige has the most powers due to her Whitelighter side. Out of all witches of the Warren Line, she has the second most powers, the first being her oldest nephew, Wyatt Halliwell.
• Paige seems to have good intuition and is an excellent Tarot reader.
• Both Paige and Phoebe's past lives were evil.
• Paige's past life isn't connected to the Warren Line of Witches. However, she does have an entry in the Warren Book of Shadows.
• Paige is the only sister who hasn't traveled to the future, only to the past.
• Paige is the only sister who was never seen as a child, only as a baby, teenager, and adult.
• Ever since she found out one of her ex-boyfriends was married, Paige would often ask her many boyfriends after him if they were married, including Kyle Brody and the one who would later become her actual husband, Henry Mitchell.

• As a child, Paige owned a clown puppet named Slappy, which once manifested in the real world as a real clown.
• Paige and Peyton are the only Charmed Ones never to have had a love interest who was also a series regular (Prue had Andy, Piper had Dan, and Leo and Phoebe had Cole). 
• Paige is shown to be a bit of a tarot card reader as she can predict the disaster at Phoebe's wedding. But it was never used again.
• Paige and Peyton are the only Charmed Ones who did not have to quarantine themselves in the basement due to an uncontrollable power. Prue did this in Primrose Empath, Piper did this in Look Who's Barking, and Phoebe did this in Forget Me... Not. Ironically, both Prue and Phoebe retreated to the basement due to not being able to handle the same power: Empathy.
