- "I found a witch that Charon the soul collector had gone after. She was in a coma. Brain dead. No chance of recovery. I sort of...took over."
- —Prue Halliwell[src]
Patience, real name unknown, was a witch who was in an untreatable comatose state. Prue Halliwell has taken over the body of this witch and has taken the identity of Patience, a witch who runs the "Salem Witch House," a tourist attraction in Salem, Massachusetts. Patience also moonlights as a mentor to newer witches.
History
Falling into a Coma
"Patience" fell into a coma after Charon, the Soul Collector stole her soul and ferried it to Hell. After it was confirmed that there was no chance of recovery, Prue, who desperately needed to return to the plane of the living, took over her body and began a new life.

Trivia
- The comatose witch's name wasn't "Patience." When a fan tweeted to comic book writer Paul Ruditis about the issue, asking "The witch whose body Prue is possessing...is her name Patience or did Prue make up the name?" he replied "So far as I know, yes. And I think it would be a mighty big coincidence that the girl's name began with a P."
