<!--CHARACTER INFORMATION HERE SHOULD BE SHORT AND MUST PROVIDE A CHARACTER OVERVIEW AND STATING PURPOSE IN THE SHOW, RATHER THAN RANDOM LIFE DATA AND WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS TO THEM. THESE DESCRIPTIONS SERVE AS A VERY BASIC OVERVIEW OF THE CHARACTERS THAT HELPS NON-FANS UNDERSTAND THE SHOW'S BASICS.-->

* [[Shannen Doherty]] as [[Prue Halliwell]] (seasons 1–3), the eldest sister who initially receives the power to move objects with her mind by channelling [[Psychokinesis|telekinesis]] through her eyes. As the series progresses, Prue learns how to channel her telekinetic powers through her hands and gains the power of [[astral projection]], the ability to [[Cloning|be in two places at once]]. The evolution of her powers was explained by the theory that her ability to move objects with her mind evolved into the ability to move or transfer her own consciousness and astral body to other places. Prue also develops martial arts skills and becomes an effective hand-to-hand fighter. During her three seasons on ''Charmed'', she is regarded as the strongest and most powerful witch of the Halliwell sisters. Prue initially works as an appraiser for an auction house, and later becomes a professional photographer for a magazine company.

* [[Holly Marie Combs]] as [[Piper Halliwell]], the second-eldest sister who initially receives the power to freeze demons, people, and objects; and eventually her surrounding environment. As the series progresses, she also gains the power to cause evil beings or objects to spontaneously explode, with the explanation behind this being her power to freeze comes from an ability to slow down particles, and with combustion, the ability to rapidly speed them up. Piper is initially the middle sister of the family during the first three seasons, but later becomes the eldest sister after Prue dies. Piper's central love-interest throughout the series is Leo Wyatt ([[Brian Krause]]), the sisters' whitelighter – a guardian angel for good witches. In [[Charmed (season 3)|season three]], she marries Leo, and as the series progresses, they have two children; [[List of Charmed characters#Wyatt Halliwell|Wyatt]] (born in [[Charmed (season 5)|season five]]) and Chris (born in [[Charmed (season 6)|season six]]). Piper initially works as a chef and manager for the restaurant Quake, but in season two she opens a nightclub called P3; in which Prue (before her death) and Phoebe become part-owners. In a comic series, modelled after the show, she eventually opens a restaurant called Halliwell.
* [[Alyssa Milano]] as [[Phoebe Halliwell]], the third-eldest sister who initially receives the power of [[Precognition|premonition]], the ability to see into the future and [[Retrocognition|the past]]. To make up for initially only having a passive power, Phoebe develops martial-arts skills in order to better support her sisters when they fight evil. As the series progresses, she also gains the active powers of [[Levitation (paranormal)|levitation]] and [[Empathy#In fiction|empathy]]. Phoebe is introduced into ''Charmed'' as the youngest and most rebellious of the Halliwell sisters. However, her progression as a witch helps her become more responsible and grow as a person. Phoebe later becomes the middle sister after Prue dies and the series introduces their younger half-sister; Paige (Rose McGowan). Phoebe was initially a college student for the first few seasons, and later becomes an advice columnist for the newspaper ''The Bay Mirror''.
* [[Rose McGowan]] as [[Paige Matthews]] (seasons 4–8), the youngest sister, who initially receives the power to move objects with her mind by orbing ("teleporting") objects from one location to another through a vocal command. She was 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 a whitelighter. She was given up at birth and raised by her adoptive parents. Paige is introduced upon Prue's funeral at the beginning of [[Charmed (season 4)|season four]], where she goes on to help reconstitute The Charmed Ones by taking Prue's place in the "[[Power of Three (Charmed)|Power of Three]]". As the series progresses, Paige also receives the whitelighter powers of orbing herself and others; as well as sensing, glamouring, and healing.
