Prudence Halliwell, also known simply as Prue, is a fictional character from the television series Charmed, and its numerous spin-offs, such as novels, games and trading cards. The character was portrayed by Shannen Doherty in the series between 1998 and 2001, appearing in every episode of the first three seasons until her character's death. Doherty was also twice nominated for a Saturn Award for her portrayal of the character. In 2008, AOL named her the 10th greatest witch in television history.
Prue was a witch and, more specifically, a Charmed One – one of the most powerful witches of all time. As the eldest of the four sisters, she was regarded as the most powerful and fearless, and occasionally named a "super witch". During her life, Prue had to balance her destiny of defeating the forces of evil in San Francisco with taking responsibility for her sisters and leading a normal life as an auction specialist and photographer. In May 2001, she was murdered in her home by Shax, the personal assassin of the Source of All Evil.
