It's a similar case with Piper; while she retained more dramatic moments than Phoebe in later seasons, her DeadpanSnarker persona wasn't really touched upon until Season 3.

* TakeOurWordForIt: In season 5, Phoebe becomes a successful advice columnist, has her own billboard ads, gives radio interviews and is generally said to be really funny. Of course the audience never hears more than a single sentence from her columns. She also ends up sleeping with the boss. We got a little insight when Phoebe first got the job. The person wrote in saying she was still living with her parents and was afraid of living alone. Phoebe's response, which seemed like something of an AssPull, was that she should get a dog for a companion. The previous columnist praised this for being proactive (it actually got her out of the house) and for being nonjudgemental. Both her (and Piper's) response was simply "Get a therapist, and get a life." The columnist said hers was better and handed the job over, so she must have done something right.

* TakeOurWordForIt: In season 5, Phoebe becomes a successful advice columnist, has her own billboard ads, gives radio interviews and is generally said to be really funny. Of course the audience never hears more than a single sentence from her columns. She also ends up sleeping with the boss. We got a little insight when Phoebe first got the job. The person wrote in saying she was still living with her parents and was afraid of living alone. Phoebe's response, which seemed like something of an AssPull, was that she should get a dog for a companion. The previous columnist praised this for being proactive (it actually got her out of the house) and for being nonjudgemental. Both her (and Piper's) response was simply "Get a therapist, and get a life." The columnist said hers was better and handed the job over, so she must have done something right.

* AnIcePerson: Her past self was able to create freezing clouds of ice/mist.
* ImprobableAge: Despite being in her twenties, Prue is already in a prominent position at Bucklands' auction house after several years being a successful museum curator.

* {{Irony}}: Her being the in-universe "Super-Witch" of the first three seasons, ends up [[spoiler: [[DroppedABridgeOnHim killed off offscreen]], never to return again]].
* KilledOffForReal: Due to a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, when her actor left the show. She refused to come back, preventing her character from returning, even as a white lighter (explained in show that she couldn't appear to her family or it would mess with their grieving process).]]

Prue takes advantage of this to be honest with her FriendOnTheForce boyfriend Andy -- she tells him the truth about her family's powers and their fight against evil and asks him if she could still have a relationship with him under those circumstances. He answers "No", and then immediately forgets the conversation when the spells wears off.

* SheFu: Prue sometimes uses her power of telekinesis to amplify her combat skills - she pulls off a wall-backflip in "Blinded by the Whitelighter" while practice fighting.
* TakeThat: Season 3 seemed to be throwing these toward Creator/ShannenDoherty as she is PutOnABusToHell. In "[[Recap/CharmedS3E18SinFrancisco Sin Francisco]]", she was possessed by the Deadly Sin of Pride, turning her into a raging egomaniac. "[[Recap/CharmedS3E21LookWhosBarking Look Who's Barking]]" turns her into a literal female dog, and she also was responsible for destroying Piper's wedding in "[[Recap/CharmedS3E15JustHarried Just Harried]]". It seemed like everybody was grateful to see her leave.
