Personality
"Piper, listen to me. You are the most sweetest, most caring person I've ever met. No, I mean that, you are. You're always there to help anybody, even strangers. You've been doing it your whole life."

- Phoebe to Piper

Piper is described as the most kind, caring, and maternal of the four sisters. Also, she can be very sarcastic and quick-witted.

When it comes to magic, Piper hates the constant demonic attacks and her sacrifice of a normal life. However, Piper knew that being a witch was a part of who she was and came to cherish it in time. Realizing that she would not be able to save innocents without her powers, Piper accepted her destiny as a Charmed One.

Physical Appearance
Of all four sisters, Piper's appearance changes the least frequently and drastically.
 * Hair: For her entire childhood and going into her twenties, Piper sports dark brown hair of a moderate length and bangs. She lets her hair grow and gets a slightly lighter shade. Piper continues to grow her hair and gets light brown highlights during her first pregnancy.
 * Wardrobe: Her fashion sense is conservative during her early twenties. As she grows older she starts to wear more feminine clothes as well as hair gloves on occasion.
 * Make-up: Piper wears little to no make-up. She keeps it clean and chooses colors that match her skin and lips closely. She only wears more make-up than usual for parties and other events.

 * Cooking Skills: Piper inherited her love of being in the kitchen from her grandmother, Penny Halliwell. After Penny's death Piper tried to persue her passion for a career, but ended up being a restaurant manager instead of fulfilling her dream of owning a restaurant. Her cooking skills also helped her with potions and creating potions.
 * Mythological Knowledge: After almost a decade of being a Witch and researching the Book of Shadows, Piper has developed a working knowledge of supernatural creatures and their respective powers, though she still had much yet to learn.

Weaknesses
Piper has all the weaknesses of a typical Witch.
 * Disbelief: The act of denying or disbelieving in one's potential could cause a witch to inadvertently suppress their magical power.
 * Distraction: Denying a witch from concentrating or giving full attention to their spells, may render them ineffective. Since most spells are spoken verbally and take time to take effect, witches are vulnerable to attack before their completion.
 * Emotions: A witch's magic is subject to the influence of their emotional state and may fluctuate according to them when untrained.
 * Herbs: Ingestion of certain herbs can cause a witch to lose consciousness and prevent them from using magic for an undetermined amount of time.
 * Magic: Witches are still susceptible to the powers of witchcraft.
 * Mortality: Despite their mystical attributes, witches are still human and share many of the same weaknesses as non-supernatural beings (e.g. age, decapitation, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, snapped neck, etc.).
 * Overexertion: The excessive use of magic could lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death.
 * Nature: It is said that nature will always find a balance when witchcraft is performed and spells will always have loopholes. This means, among other things, that no being can be truly immortal.
