Have you ever felt like your siblings overshadow you? I do, all the time really. It's stupid I know but I've felt this way forever. I place the blame solely on magic. After all if it wasn't a factor in my life I might not feel like so much of a disappointment.

My oldest brother Wyatt happens to the twice-blessed child. This basically means he has more power than the rest of us can dream of. He can be a show off sure, but then if I had his powers I probably would too. He also has somewhat of a hero complex and loves to save people. And no I am not saying this is a bad thing! I mean of course it's not, it never could be, that is our purpose after all, to save the innocents. It's just sometimes he can brag about it a bit too much. And I am somewhat bitter over the fact that occasionally I have been the one who he has to save.

And then there's Chris. My neurotic and sarcastic older brother, the middle child. He's our family's hero! Literally, if it hadn't been for Chris, Wyatt would have been turned evil (or at least some version of him, because it wasn't actually him, but then it sort of was, but when Wyatt was saved Chris was just about to be born... Oh time travel always gives me a headache.) and in doing that he saved, well the world really. Not only that but he is incredibly smart. I haven't met anyone else that is as smart as he is.

Then there's me. Just plain youngest Melinda. The only plain witch in our family. See my brothers are both part whitelighter. Well I guess technically Chris is part Elder, the point is that they have powers that I can't due to this. This doesn't really bother me, except that they can orb and I can't. Actually I am the only person in my generation that doesn't have a personal method of transportation.

I should probably take the time to talk my cousins then. OK let's start off with Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Coop. They have three daughters, and Aunt Phoebe followed Halliwell tradition and gave them all "P" names. So there is Paula, Pansy and Poppy, which is their birth order.

Pansy is one of my best friends. She is an empath, which she inherited from her mother. She also has a teleportation power, given that she's half cupid. She is a bit of a girly girl, and she basically loves anything that means she can annoy her parents. She is a tad rebellious, but hey she is Aunt Phoebe's daughter.

Paula is able to levitate. She also has the powers that Pansy inherited due to being part cupid. She is incredibly sporty. Honestly I get tired just watching her! She is amazing at almost every sport she tries, which is most of them. She is sort of shy though, and gets scared easy, which is odd considering she has faced demons, but she gets scared of things like spiders.

Poppy inherited the premonition power, along with the cupid ones. She is quite possibly the sweetest person I have ever met. Sometimes I wonder how she didn't get the empathy power, she always seems to know how you are feeling, and wouldn't hurt anything that isn't evil, and even then she feels bad afterwards.

Then there's Aunt Paige and Uncle Henry. They have three kids as well, it's kind of a thing with my family isn't it? Anyway there is Henry Junior and the twins Pixie and Pippa.

Henry has the same powers as Aunt Paige does. And as Uncle Henry doesn't have powers, he only has those powers. Although in fairness they are pretty cool. I wouldn't mind swapping, but anyway! Henry is reasonably shy and has some issues when it comes to trusting people. Not surprising really considering that his first girlfriend turned out to be a demon. The joy of being in our family! He is loyal to all those he loves though and would do anything to protect us.

Pixie has the same powers as Henry and is quite possibly the definition of a girly girl. Honestly I have never seen so much pink in one place, than I have in her room. She can be a bit moody sometimes, and sure she is known to be catty but if she liked you she would never do anything to truely harm you. She may be a bit unstable, but the girl knows how to look after people, must be to do with being part whitelighter...

And rounding everyone off is Pippa. She is like Pixie in almost every way. I swear that if you're not part of our family you could never tell them apart. Although we can as Pippa is slightly (and I do mean slightly) more reserved than Pixie. (Not that it takes much) You will very rarely see one twin without the other.

And that ladies and gentlemen is my family.

I know I didn't say much about me, but I'm not sure there's even anything interesting about me. But I promise that this year I will be noticed! And what better time to start than tomorrow, after all it is my sweet sixteen, might as well make it count.
