Aura Chen was an evil low-level witch who appeared in the novel Phoebe Who?. She and her coven of witches cast a powerful spell to erase Phoebe Halliwell's memory and used her vulnerability to make her help them find and steal three Wiccan Amulets to add power to their own. She had the power of Projective Levitation.
History
Early Life
Aura's grandmother told her stories about the four Wiccan Amulets, and Aura had long since waited for the day her grandmother would pass one of the amulets down to her. When her grandmother chose to pass the heirloom to her cousin Tilly instead of her, Aura was enraged, and decided to take matters into her own hands and stole the amulet.
Finding the Amulets
Aura then formed a coven of three with Delilah and Terra, and together concocted a plan to add a Charmed One in their midst. They cast a spell to wipe Phoebe's memory, then at her most vulnerable moment, pretended to find her and fed her with lies about her life. The next day, Aura and her coven told Phoebe they were on a mission to steal the amulets kept by evil witches to stop their evildoings.
On their second mission, the coven ran into Paige Matthews, who recognized her sister, but with all four against one, she had no choice but to retreat. With three amulets in close proximity, Aura was able to keep objects suspended in midair with ease and keep external powers from interfering. When her companion Terra wanted to back out, Aura threatened her to make her stay.
Downfall
Once all four amulets were gathered, Aura's coven went after Piper and Paige to destroy the Power of Three. Piper and Paige, however, were able to restore Phoebe's memory and put a stop to Aura's evil plan. Aura tried to fight back, but Phoebe knocked her out with a punch. They then cast a spell to vanquish Aura and her companion Delilah, while Terra fled.
