One of the heroines of the famous American fantasy series "Charmed" - Paige Matthews. The real name of the performer is Rose McGowan. Her character is the youngest of the four sister witches, Halliwell, and her fate is not the easiest. Appears only at the beginning of the fourth season. More about her life - in this article.

Before the series

Paige Matthews is the illegitimate daughter of Patty Halliwell and Sam Wilder. Patty already had three daughters from the legal wife of Victor Bennett. The girl's life was in danger, as the magic laws forbade the love relationships between the Guardians (which was Sam) and their wards.

In order to protect the child from imminent punishment, parents make the most difficult decision in life. They take the girl to church, where she is soon taken away by foster parents - Mathews couple.

Paige is growing a disobedient child, almost uncontrollable. She often skips school, smokes, consumes alcohol and does not appreciate her parents. But one day everything changes. There is a terrible car accident in which the Matthews are dying. And the girl miraculously survives.

It is the death of parents that makes Paige think about life. It is corrected. Graduates from school, goes to college at Berkeley. After completing his studies, he gets a job in the social service, because he feels his destiny in helping the needy.

In parallel, she tries to find out who her biological parents are. She empathizes with two sisters - Piper and Phoebe, who recently lost their older sister Prudence. The Halliwell family inexplicably beckons Page, and she decides to go to the funeral.

The first meeting

Piper can not accept the death of her sister. She reads the spells to bring Prue back. But the magic is distorted, and all the messages about reunion are received by Page Mathews. In the end, she decides and comes to the funeral of Prudence. There, she shakes Phoebe's hand, and the latter has a vision in which the demon Sheks kills the girl.

From confusion and fear, Matthews runs away. Phoebe and her demon boyfriend Cole Turner rush to find her. They do not want anyone else to suffer at the hands of the murderer Prue.

Meanwhile, Paige meets with her friend Shane in the club "P3". It is there that the demon is attacked, witnessed by Phoebe and Cole. They are amazed at what they saw! Fleeing from the energy ball, Paige flickered. This ability is possessed only by the Guardians. The lovers decide that Paige is the future Guardian, and takes her to the Halliwell mansion.

Paige Matthews, whose biography was still ordinary, faces real miracles. When the sisters stand side by side, the Power of Three, lost with Prue's death, returns to them.

With the help of power and spells, girls kill Sheks. But Paige's just terrified. She was not ready for such revelations. Matthew runs away from his sisters.

Relations with sisters

Despite his fears, Matthews becomes part of the family. Now she's Paige Halliwell. And on its way there will be many obstacles. The first was her boyfriend Shane, in which the owner came. He injures Cole, the damage is deadly, and Leo can only cure his human nature. With the help of Paige, he heals his beloved Phoebe.

It is not hard to guess that the average sister fell in love with the youngest almost at once. Phoebe initially took Paige, did not pretend that she had never been in their life. For some time she acted as a kind of shock absorber between her and Piper.

With the older sister, relations were not asked from the very beginning. It was still too painful to lose Prue. Piper thought she would betray Prue's memory if she accepted Paige.

The girls were very different. Favorite sister is the strongest and most reasonable witch, Paige is just a defenseless newcomer, also with a rather windy character.

However, soon Paige Mathews Halliwell becomes a full member of the family. Piper realizes that her younger sister does not deserve such an attitude, and is taught to teach her magical skills.

However, throughout the series, Page is still in an invisible confrontation with Prue. This is expressed in the relationship with Piper and Phoebe, and in the use of magic.

But he has one weakness - a love for Phoebe. It is she who leads him into the past, into another reality, where he is an ordinary vulnerable demon. By coincidence, Paige ends up there. But this reality is very creepy. The forces of the three are not there, as Paige was killed before she gained magic. She has to unite her sisters and destroy their main enemy.

In the last series of Page, Matthews is turned into the goddess of war Athena, so that she, along with her sisters, fought with a terrible force - the Titans.
