Background
Patricia Janice Halliwell is the only child born to Penelope Warren, a Warren Witch and Allen Halliwell, a human. She was born on April 5, 1922, during the roaring twenties.

The Evil Queen cursed her through Penelope. So all of Penelope's desendants will never be sucessful in finding love, have fertility issues, and be immortal. Which came true through Patty. In her relationship with Victor Bennett they had many issues until officially ended becuase of Patty's affair with Sam Wilder. But Patty couldn't be happy with Sam becuase it was forbidden by the Archangel's. She also had trouble getting pregnant, which is why her two younger daughters were a pleasant surprise.

Personality
"His appearance is attributed to the universal convergence of negative energies as derived from astrological charts"

- A wordy extract from Patty's page on Barbas displaying her knowledge Patty was very intelligent, able to write an entire page of the Book of Shadows on Barbas, the Demon of Fear despite never facing him herself, come up with the theory to recreate the Power of Three by combining three Halliwell generations, and knowing to vanquish the Water Demon by separating its particles using a power cable.

She was also very kind and dedicated to her family, though not afraid to stick up for what she thought was right. Patty would listen to her mother's wise advise always, but would disagree with her if she thought she was wrong.

Physical Appearance
She had brown-eyes and hair that she would change from brown to blonde, having very light hair while conceiving Phoebe, but dark brown after finding out she was pregnant. She often wore a sandalwood-scented perfume, though she smelt like burgers whenever she came home from Buddy's and kissed Prue goodnight.

As a ghost, Patty often wore light-colored clothes, such as white and blues, but opted for much more colorful and complicated fashions while alive. Her second daughter, Piper, was said to have inherited her looks, though Mrs. Johnson did see similarities between Prue and Patty.

Love Life
Victor Bennett= Patty met Victor Bennett in 1967 when she was seventeen. The two fell madly in love and married, though Penny forbade Patty to change her last name to "Bennett". They had their first child a year after their marriage, and they named her "Prue Halliwell", not Bennett, likely because of Penny again. Though the couple were extremely happy together, Victor left her and their two daughters (Prue and Piper) after learning they were witches, though he later returned. Despite loving Victor, she later had an affair with her Guardian Angel, Sam Wilder, after much arguing about the sisters' futures with Victor. They soon divorced, though they made up in time to conceived a third daughter, Phoebe Halliwel in 1978. They eventually made amends before her death in early 1981.

In late 1979 Patty and Sam conceived a daughter, Paige Matthews. Though not only did Patty have an affair but it was also forbidden for a Witch and an Angel to be together. So Patty and Sam gave up there baby daughter after she was born to a local church. But asked her name began wth the leter 'P', to continue on the Halliwell tradition. Over six months later Patty was mudered, which devestated Sam becuase he couldn't protect her.

Weaknesses
Patty had 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.
