Kassandra Halliwell

Kassandra "Kass"/"Kassie" Grace Halliwell is a main character in The Halliwell Diaries series. Kassandra is the Cupid-Witch daughter of Prudence Johanna "P.J." Halliwell, the granddaughter of Phoebe Halliwell, cousin of Kennedy Mitchell and Kenzie Halliwell, and the youngest of the new Charmed Ones. She is part of the Halliwell family tree of the Warren Line.

Being born a Cupid-Witch like her mother, and aunts, Kassandra has the basic powers of a Witch and few abilities of a Cupid. As a Witch she has the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and scry for lost objects and people. As a Cupid, she has the ability of Beaming and Remote Beaming. Upon being awakened as one of the new Charmed Ones, Kassandra inherited the Wiccan powers of Premonition, and later Empathy and Levitation, the same powers as her late grandmother, Phoebe Halliwell.

Etymology

 * Kassandra: A variant of Cassandra, from Greek Kasandra, Kassandra, daughter of Priam and Hecuba of Troy, seduced by Apollo who gave her the gift of prophecy, but when she betrayed him he amended it so that, though she spoke truth, none would believe her. Used figuratively since 1660s.
 * Grace: A feminine given name (Grâce in French), from the Latin gratia. It is often given in reference to the Christian concept of divine grace and used as a virtue name. The vocabulary word may be elaborated upon as meaning 'effortless beauty'.
 * Halliwell: Derives from any of the several places named with the Old English pre 7th Century elements "halig" meaning "holy", plus "well(a)", a well or spring. These places include Halliwell in Lancashire, recorded as Haliwell circa 1200; Holwell in Dorset and Oxfordshire appearing respectively as Halegewelle and Haliwelle in the Domesday Book of 1086; Halwell and Halwill in Devonshire, recorded as Halgewilla in 1086, and Holywell in Northumberland, Kent, Cambridgeshire, and Cornwall.
