Her heroine is the youngest of the four witch sisters Halliwell, and her fate is not the easiest. Appears only at the beginning of the fourth season. Read more about her life in this article.
Before the events of the series
Paige Matthews is the illegitimate daughter of Patty Halliwell and Sam Wilder. Patty already had three daughters from the legal spouse of Victor Bennett. The girl’s life was in danger, because magical laws forbade love relationships between the Guardians (whom Sam was) and their wards.
In order to protect the child from inevitable punishment, parents make the most difficult decision in life. They take the girl to church, from where her adoptive parents, the married couple Matthews, will soon pick her up.
Paige is growing up as a naughty child, almost uncontrollable. She often skips school, smokes, drinks alcohol and does not value her parents. But one day everything changes. A terrible car accident happens in which the Matthews die. And the girl miraculously survives.
It is the death of parents that makes Paige think about life. She is corrected. He graduates from high school, goes to college at Berkeley. After completing his studies, he gets a job in the social service, because he feels that he is destined to help those in need.
In parallel, she is trying to find out who her biological parents are. She empathizes with two sisters - Piper and Phoebe, who recently lost their older sister, Prudence. The Hollywood family inexplicably beckons Page, and she decides to go to the funeral.
First meeting
Piper can’t put up with her sister’s death. She casts spells designed to bring Prue back. But the magic is distorted, and Paige Matthews gets all the reunion messages. In the end, she decides and comes to Prudence's funeral. There she shakes Phoebe's hand, and the latter has a vision in which the demon Sheks kills a girl.
Matthew escapes from embarrassment and fear. Phoebe and her demon boyfriend Cole Turner rush to find her. They do not want anyone else to suffer at the hands of the killer Prue.
In the meantime, Page meets her friend Shane at the P3. It is there that the demon attacks, witnessed by Phoebe and Cole. They are amazed at what they saw! Running away from the energy ball, Page flickered. Only the Guardians have this ability. The lovers decide that Page is the future Guardian, and lead her to the Halliwell mansion.
Paige Matthews, whose biography was still mundane, is faced with real miracles. When the sisters stand nearby, the Power of Three returns to them, lost with Prue's death.
With the help of power and spells, the girls kill Sheks. But Paige is terrified. She was not ready for such revelations. Matthews runs away from the sisters.
Relationship with sisters
Despite his fears, Matthews becomes part of the family. Now she is Paige Halliwell. And there will be many obstacles in her path. The first was her boyfriend Shane, in which the Master moved in. He hurts Cole, the damage is fatal, and Leo can only heal his human being. With the help of Paige, he heals the beloved Phoebe.
It is easy to guess that the middle sister fell in love with the younger one almost immediately. Phoebe initially accepted Page, did not pretend that she had never been in their life. For a while she acted as a kind of shock absorber between her and Piper.
Relations with the older sister did not work out from the very beginning. The pain from the loss of Prue was still too strong. Piper believed that she would betray Prue's memory if she accepted Paige.
The girls were very different. Beloved sister is the most powerful and judicious witch, Paige is just a defenseless novice, besides with a rather windy character.
However, soon Paige Matthews Halliwell becomes a full member of the family. Piper realizes that her younger sister did not deserve such an attitude, and begins to teach her magical skills.
However, throughout the series, Page is still in an invisible confrontation with Prue. This is expressed both in relations with Piper and Phoebe, and in the use of magic.
