Parents - the witch Patricia and mortal Victor Bennet. On the maternal side, the girl immediately received the power of Wiccan freezing, as well as the magical powers of daytime exposure, which she could control at her discretion. When Piper Halliwell went on a weekend trip with her sisters to travel to the past, the sorcerer Nicholas, who met him on the way, begged to lend him protection from the forces of the enchanted, with whom he could not cope.
In February 1978, the sisters were orphaned, their mother died, the good witch Patricia Halliwell. Three girls remained to live with their grandmother, who somehow called the "old witch" does not turn their tongue. The old woman, a good-natured man, took up the education of sisters.

Cooking and Finance

After graduating and receiving the profession of an accountant, Piper got a job at a local bank. Grandmother did not approve of the choice of her beloved granddaughter, she dreamed of seeing her as a chef in a large restaurant with a large staff of assistants.
Of course, the grandmother conjured a little, the granddaughter quit the bank and went for an interview with the famous chef Moore, on whom the girl depended on his deputy. And here it was for the first time that she felt the full power of her witchcraft.
Adventure Exam
Moore decided to "fall asleep" Piper, not to let her go in obtaining a certificate of professional activity as a chef. He had already suspended the exam, but the sorcerer neutralized him, froze and pushed him into the far corner. Then she calmly added the missing ingredients to the control dish and completed the exam brilliantly.
When Moore came to, he long admired the great taste of vegetable stew prepared by Piper Halliwell. And the witch herself finally believed in her magical abilities.
At first, Piper did not want to put up with her status as an omnipotent witch, her natural modesty did not allow her to accept such an impressive tool for influencing others as telekinesis and the magical power of transformation. But gradually the girl believed that all her abilities were aimed only at good deeds, and soothing came.
Caution will not hurt
Several times the sorceress was convinced of the power of her impulses, as soon as she moved her hand, everything around was frozen and could not thaw for a long time. Then the witch began to restrain gestures, so as not to inadvertently cause trouble.
One day, Piper Halliwell, whose real name was against the habit of completely coinciding with the witch given by the witchcraft council, decided to test her spell near the church. The girl was afraid that she would be punished only for approaching the temple. Expecting a lightning strike, she timidly approached the church gate and was much surprised that nothing had happened.
In the evening, Phoebe's younger sister explained to her that in the world there is no girl kinder and more affectionate than she. And although Piper is a witch, her spiritual purity can ward off any heavenly punishment, lightning and thunder. Believing in herself, Piper Halliwell began to attend church, like an ordinary parishioner. Although at the same time she still tried not to make sudden movements with her hands.
