Examples of Masculine Personality Traits exhibited by Macy Vaughn:

  • Acts as leader: Macy takes the lead on figuring out if Galvin’s “mark” on his hip is some sort of demonic interference to get to her and the other Charmed Ones. She even enlists Harry as her date to Galvin’s birthday party to help keep an eye on Galvin.
  • Defends own beliefs: Macy tells Mel that the pattern found on their mother’s body, as well as the other murdered Elders, resembles a “Lichtenberg Figure,” which is associated with high voltage electricity, and found in places and on people that have been struck by lightning. She also figures out that the “mark” that she thought was put on Galvin by a demon is actually a Yoruba spell put on him at birth to protect him from harm.
  • Dominant/strong personality: Macy consults a Yoruba priestess and is told that she has had “darkness inside her since birth.” She then wonders aloud to her sisters later: “Is this why I’ve always been rational and dispassionate? I thought it was okay to kill Angela Wu.” Her sisters attempt to persuade her otherwise, but it is clear that this encounter with the priestess has shaken Macy to her core.

Examples of Feminine Personality Traits exhibited by Macy Vaughn:

  • Gentle/sympathetic/sensitive to others’ needs: Macy is there for both Mel and Maggie, after Mel is reeling from having to wipe her girlfriend’s memory to protect her from larger demonic forces, and Maggie was kicked out of her sorority due to personal issues with the sorority president, Lucy.

Conclusion: In this episode, we get another hint into Macy’s past through a flashback with her mother, Marisol, telling a friend, “It feels like something is wrong with the baby,” something that is confirmed by the Yoruba priestess later on. It appears that Macy is now beginning to think that her more “masculine” traits have been caused by some sort of magical interference, and may have hindered her from being a more typically “feminine” woman. It will be interesting to see where the show takes us from here, when it comes to Macy’s birth and upbringing.
