Character Name: Paige Halliwell/Matthews
Power: Telekinesis orbing, powers of a Whitelighter
Love interest: Shane
More about Paige:
Paige Matthews is the youngest half sister to the Halliwell clan, her parents being Patty Halliwell and Sam Matthews (Patty's Whitelighter). So it is expected that she has at least some powers that are similar to that of a Whitelighter. Telekinetic orbing is somewhat similar to that of Prue's telekinesis but instead of the object flying around visibly, the object is orbed to its desired spot. I also believe she is able to orb herself and has the ability to heal. Paige's debut is in season 4. More to be added about her later.

"I am going to be pretty kick a$$ by the time I'm thiry, and I can't wait!!" 

"You have to work to carve out your own little corner, and I'm certainly smacking my head against the wall trying to make a dent. I just hope I don't get brain-damaged before I get there."
