Hal Mitchell

"This is the way things are. It sucks, but i've just got to get used to it." - Hal to Henry

Henry Junior Allen "Hal" Mitchell is the fourth child born of the next generation of Charmed witches as well as the firstborn son and child of Charmed One; Paige Matthews and mortal Henry Mitchell. He is the older brother of the twins; Kat and Trish Mitchell and the second youngest nephew of Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell.

Through the study of magic it is discovered that Hal is an guardian of good magic. He is seen to have a multitude of power though his active powers seem to be a little more active than he would prefer with his super strength and telekinesis. Like several of his cousins and the twins, Hal is a witchlighter having inherited his powers from his mother. Additionally, Hal possesses the basic powers of a witch; the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and scry for lost objects or people. Hal is a very determined young witch whom despite his troubles always fights for what he thinks is right.

Hal, at aged twelve, is currently in the Seventh Grade of Roosevelt Middle school and is involved in the more artistic side of the extra curricular activities as well as being on the baseball team and wants to one day consider working as an illustrator or a writer of creative stories.

Hal is part of the Warren family line of witches dating back to the 16th century and beginning with Melinda Warren.

Pre-Birth
Conceived after the Charmed Ones' battle with the Jenkins' sisters, Hal's birth, unlike his cousins, had not been prophesied with Paige having had no idea she was pregnant with him until her sister Phoebe confirmed that she was pregnant through Phoebe's own pregnancy with Pippa and by that time Paige was already four months gone. It is found that like Piper with Chris, Paige showed no extra abilities however unlike with Chris, Paige's powers did go a little haywire with her unable to orb at times and also with her confusing potions causing a lot of distruction in the Halliwell household as well as allowing Wyatt to become an expert with his powers to heal.

Early Life
Hal Mitchell, named for his father, was born May 2, 2007 to Warren witch and Charmed One; Paige Matthews and mortal Henry Mitchell at San Francisco Memorial hospital, born ten days after his older cousin; Pippa. Like with Pippa, Hal was adored by his older cousins Wyatt and Chris, and actually got his nickname "Hal" from Chris whom was unable to say Henry at the time. Within a month of his birth, Paige and Phoebe had a joint Wiccaning for Pippa and him to celebrate their birth and was blessed by his Ancestors and due to his middle name "Allan" he is thought to possibly be Grams' favorite great-grandson.

Appearance
Hal is pretty much the double of his father, despite him sharing his mother's personality.
 * Hair: Hal's hairstyle is pretty much near the same as his cousin; Chris with the pair having the same dark brown locks, that they seem to switch between growing out and cutting, though the color of his Dad's Hal has recently began growing out his short, slightly spiked hair to make way for bangs which he started growing out after the death of his mother; Paige.
 * Appearance: In terms of appearance, Hal is a handsome young man that could be considered as cute and puppy like which leads him to be bullied despite his tall height with Hal getting his 6' foot height from his Dad, as well as his well-built form. The pair share a pair of dark brown eyes that seem to change a little depending on their moods. Hal is also a perfect mix of both his cousins; Wyatt and Chris especially wit his defined and muscular body, and like all of the Halliwells is looking to get a tattoo or two.
 * Wardrobe: Hal, in terms of fashion doesn't seem to have much of a fashion sense with him having a liking for dark clothing to the point that he is never seen without his black hoodies. He tends to dress casual though switches to dress nice only when he needs too, his dress sense is similar to his Dad's with the pair tending to wear t-shirts, jeans and a lether jacket with the only difference being Hal's love of hoodies and sneakers in comparrison to his Dad's badge and boots. Hal also wears a leather bracelet with the Triquettra engraved onto it and a silver ring that had belonged to his materal adoped Grandpa.

Personality
Hal is a sassy, spunky and brave young witch. He likes to face new things and always follows Pippa around seeing her as a leader, but sometimes he is forced to follow the likes of his late Aunt Prue because of her intimidating temper. He is the demon hunting type and is both fearless and empathetic as well as being defensive and is said to be the double of his mother, Paige Matthews, in terms of personality with them both being stubborn, strong-willed and heavily sarcastic though getting to that age he has started to act out a little.

Like all the Halliwells, Hal is very protective of his family, and cares about them deeply and will not hesitate to harm anyone. He often tends to act on impulse rather then thinking a situation through, but despite this Hal can also be the peace-maker and referee between his sisters. He is incredibly athletic, despite not caring much for sports and cares for his family deeply. Hal is a very warm and trusting person, as well as showing some signs of obsessive-compulsive tendencies. He has also consistently shown himself to be a brave person, and often takes on difficult and dangerous tasks without complaint, as well as being extremely loyal to his friends and family.

Hal is kind and caring, especially to his closest friends, Pippa and his sisters. He is also very honest as well. He is charming, laid-back, funny - at times, and friendly, and it has always been in his nature to look out for people. He is also known for having a moral compass, and a clear sense of right and wrong and when to go to his parents for help or work it out on his own. Hal has been known to follow the rules to a t, and doesn't like breaking them unless he absolutely has to.

Pippa Halliwell

Though that doesn't mean that Hal and Pippa don't fight with them both disagreeing on the ways of getting through to Pippa's sister; PJ, as well as Pippa's over-protectiveness for him while at school while Hal was being bullied.
