Prue Halliwell is the oldest of the sisters.  Prue had the power of telekinisis (the ability to move things with her mind) and discovered she also had the power of astral projection (to be in two places at once). All the sisters have discovered that their powers increase over time. Prue started out working in a prestigious auction house, Bucklands, but had decided to try her hand at being a professional photographer.  She experienced a certain amount of personal loss, having known the girls' deceased mother, Patty, better than her younger sisters, as well as their father, who left when Prue, Piper and Phoebe were young children; they were brought up by their maternal grandmother ("Grams"). She also lost her first and true love, Andy Trudeau, at the end of the first season to a demon.  Prue's greatest strength was her love for her sisters and her greatest fear was to lose them.   Unfortunately, Prue was destined to be the first Charmed One to lose her life, to a demon named Shax, at the end of season three.
