Lucy Halliwell

Lucy Halliwell is a character from the story Something to Be by Sammy41. She is best known as the youngest daughter of Phoebe Halliwell and her husband Coop.

Childhood & Early Life
Born January 26, 2010, Lucille Penelope Halliwell is Phoebe Halliwell and Cooper Valentine's youngest child. Her first name is said to have come from her father's favorite actress Lucille Ball, and her middle name is derived from that of her great-grandmother Penelope Halliwell. Lucy is the third member of the restored Power of Three, recently making her a Charmed One. She is the second youngest overall in the new Halliwell generation and the last female to be born.

Lucille, more often called Lucy, was raised with her elder sisters and parents at the family beach house. She occassionally attended Magic School daycare when her parents were busy with charges or work. When Lucy was 7, her mother published her book "Finding Love" and was constantly on tour for the next year. She remembers this time with what seems like a little bitterness, and considering her young age it is understandable. In fact, many of Lucy's childhood memories consist of her parents struggling to keep their marraige together. When she was 11 years old her parents agreed to seperate. Unlike her sisters who seemed to have strong opinions about the failed marriage, Lucy seems indifferent, taking neither the side of her mother or father. Because of this she has seemed to upkeep a good relationship with both of them, though she rarely speaks of her childhood and remembers it with contempt.

Lucy attended Golden Gate High School like her siblings and cousins. Academics came rather easily for Lucy, whose wit and intelligence garnered her a perfect grade point average and remarkable test scores. When her IQ was measured during her middle school years, she was off the charts, technically making her "gifted." Aside from her success academically, Lucy was mainly interested in the arts and spent all the courses she could devoted to painting, drawing, sculptig, etc... As far as extracurriculars went, Lucy ran cross country and track. She graduated as a National Merit Scholar and earned several academic awards and scholarships. She earned her high school diploma with honors.

Education & Career Path
Despite opportunities to attend schools like Northwestern, Boston, and Georgetown, Lucy decided to attend Stanford University. While not 100% sure of what she wanted to do in the future, Lucy knew she wanted to capitalize on her artistic desires while emphasizing her academic and mathematic talents. After her freshman year she decided to major in architecture and engineering and is currently in her fifth year of school by the start of Something to Be.

In the episode "Good Times Gonna Come" Lucy announces that she has secured an internship at the architecture firm Harvey & Roark.

Powers
With Phoebe and Coop as parents, Lucy has the genetic make-up of being half-witch, half-cupid. Still, as the last born she is the least powerful of all her sisters and the only of the three to not have the ability to teleport. She began showing her powers at the age of 2, when she was able to levitate. This power more than likely was inherited from her mother, who also used the power. Overall, Lucy seems to have a well-harnessed control over the power and can levitate on demand with ease. This comesin handy when she is in hand to hand combat or using martial arts, which are other skills she began developing in her late teen years. Aside from levitation, Lucy also has the power of premonition, another power that her mother originally had. She had her first premonition at the age of 8. Most of her visions of the future at this time came in the form of dreams or nightmares. As she grew older, she began having them more randomly but while conscious. Later this developed into the ability of psychometry. Psychometry is the power to recieve information about an object through touch. This is often useful when looking at the make and model and perhaps the objects past uses. Other times it invokes a vision of the future.

Other than her Wiccan powers, Lucy has also proven to have exceptional skills in martial arts and close combat. Her stamina and fitness level overall seems to be especially helpeful in demonic spars.

Now that Lucy has been revealed as a Charmed One it is expected that her powers will expand. Already in Something to Be she has seemed to have premonitions more frequently. She may develop the ability to better control her visions with her Charmed status. As a member of the Power of Three she has also become more directly involved with spells and vanquishes of demons, and is more than likely a key part to defeating the new Source.

Personality & Relationships with Family
Lucy Halliwell has been described as a rather bohemian, liberal thinking, witty individual, who has succeeded at creating a seperate identity for herself. She can usually be counted on for a sarcastic remark or cynical phrase. Lucy is probably the most honest of all the characters, usually harboring no secrets and often voicing her opinion. She is a what you see is what you get kind of person and it ends up being more humorous than anything else. Aside from her constant wit, she's also rather creative. Her artisitc abilities and overall intelligence make for a unique perspective on both demon spars and other pressing Halliwell matters. She has the ability to see an argument from all sides, usually leading her to never feel too strongly about anything in particular.

She has often been compared to her aunt Paige with her quirkiness and was actually close with her when Paige was alive. Lucy is rather optimistic in most situations and doesn't make a habit of worrying about things very often. She more often than not seems to get lucky in her improvisation and for that retains a calm temper and attitude. At times she may seem a little snarky and a little too honest and sarcastic for her own good, but deep down Lucy is gentler than she leads on and takes more things personal than one would expect. She truly cares about her family and considers them her closest friends.

As for family members she is close with, Lucy doesn't seem to have problems with anyone in the family. Her best friend is Joey, who she has been close with since childhood. She also gets along rather well with her cousins Melinda, Chris, and Kate. As for her sisters, Lucy's relationship is a little strained with both of them but she holds a grudge towards neither. She seems to be the neutral sister in the bunch while Laura and Lila are in the midst of argument. Lucy has a good relationship with her mother and her father, which is also another difference between her and her sister. The truth is Lucy is friends with just about everyone, so long as they can take her jokes and treat her well.

Romantic Life
In the second episode of Something to Be, it is mentioned that Lucy has a boyfriend named Phil Cowlings, who is also a student at Stanford. Phil is never seen before Lucy breaks up with him, some time between the third and fourth episode of the story.

On Valentine's Day she is set-up on a date with Carson Jenkins by her sister.
