**Elizabeth Turner** (née **Swann**) is one of the main characters in the first three *Pirates of the Caribbean* films. She is the daughter of Governor Weatherby Swann who falls in love with her childhood friend, Will Turnerand is swept away on a series of pirate adventures with Captain Jack Sparrow. Throughout the films, Elizabeth goes from a proper English woman to an adventurous and charismatic pirate.

She is the tritagonist of the first three *Pirates of the Caribbean* films and a cameo character in *Dead Men Tell No Tales.*

## Personality

Elizabeth is fearless, determined, brave, heroic, adventurous, intelligent, and independent. Though posing as a woman of high standards as the daughter of the Governor of Port Royal, she, in reality, found Port Royal society boring and sought adventure. The lives of pirates had always fascinated her, even when she was a child, which excessively worried her father. She proved to be very charismatic to the Pirates and even encouraged them to fight the EITC armada, showing a talent in leadership. Elizabeth became a competitive fighter as much as Jack Sparrow and Will Turner.

A quick-witted and clever individual, Elizabeth, even in the face of danger when captive on the Black Pearl, threatened to drop it in the sea. Elizabeth is also resourceful, known for a fact that she read a lot of books on Piracy and had knowledge on the Code of Brethren. She was blinded by the reality of piracy, having experienced it for the first time when Jack Sparrow threatened her life. At first terrified of the pirates that kidnapped her, especially cowering in fear in the captain's cabins, Elizabeth showed that she was no longer scared of them when she glared at Jack the monkey in his skeleton form and threw him into the water.

During the battle of Calypso's maelstrom, Elizabeth showed her heroism and leadership when she gave her speech about fighting against the men who were stealing their lives from them and inspired the whole pirate armada to raise the flags. Incredibly fearless in the battle, Elizabeth defeated many EITC soldiers while also fighting members of Davy Jones' crew and even went up against the terrifying Davy Jones himself. However, she finally showed true horror when she saw Jones stab Will in the heart.

She cared very much for her friends and family, especially towards her father, Governor Swann, and her lover, Will. Though she said that she wasn't sorry for leaving Jack chained to the mass so her friends and Will could escape, Elizabeth felt extremely guilty for leaving him their to die and went on the rescue mission to save Jack from Davy Jones' Locker

With all her heart, Elizabeth was very much in love with Will Turner when she noticed him floating in the ocean as children. As they grew older, they fell in love with another, but Elizabeth knew her father would never let her marry a blacksmith due to their very different social classes. After James Norrington let her go, Elizabeth and Will were finally allowed to be together at last. Thus, the two could be more opened about their relationship. When they had the chance to get married, Elizabeth would take it. The first time they tried to marry, their wedding was interrupted by Cutler Beckett. However, they finally were able to marry each other during the final battle in At World's End.

She attracted the attentions of James Norrington, Cutler Beckett, Hector Barbossa and Sao Feng, but rejected the ideas of being with them. Even Jack Sparrow was a little attracted to her, saying that he and her were a lot alike when searching for the Dead Man's Chest. However, Will Turner always was and always will be the love of her life.

## Abilities

* Swordsmanship: Elizabeth, at first did not know how to use a sword, as she used a paddle as a weapon. In between the first and second films, Elizabeth trained with a sword under Will and learned to become a better swordswoman.
* Knowledge in Pirate Lore: Elizabeth could remember anything related to the Brethren Code and knew of the song "A Pirate's Life For Me." However, she couldn't believe in the Legends with the likes of the Curse of Aztec gold or believed that Davy Jones existed.

* Actress: when the need arose for it, Elizabeth could act on the spot. She managed to trick Barbosa into thinking she was a maid in Governor Swann's household and the daughter of William Turner, Sr. She also tricked Jack into thinking she was drunk when in reality, she was biding her time until he was rendered unconscious from drinking too much so she could start a signal for passing ships.
