“	This is barbaric! This is no way for grown men to settle—oh, fine! Let's just haul out our swords and start banging away at each other, that will solve everything! I've had it! I've had it with wobbly-legged, rum-soaked pirates!	„
	~ Elizabeth Swann

“	I have had more than enough experience dealing with pirates!	„
	~ Elizabeth Swann

Elizabeth Turner (née Swann) is the tritagonist of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. She is the wife of Will Turner and mother of their son, Henry Turner.

She is the daughter of the late Governor Weatherby Swann and became the Pirate Queen of the Brethren Court, fighting against Lord Cutler Beckett and Davy Jones. Following the pirates' victory, she would leave her pirate life to raise Henry.

She is portrayed by Keira Knightley, who also played Sabé in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and Gwyn from Princess of Thieves.

Physical Appearance[]

Elizabeth was a slender, 170 cm tall beautiful woman with long dark blonde hair and brown eyes.

Elizabeth's appearance changed considerably after she gave up her aristocratic life. The sun tanned her pale complexion and the rigorous life of a pirate made her tougher, stronger and more athletic. Despite retaining her slender build Elizabeth transformed from a soft girl into a physically strong woman.

Height: 170 cm (5' 7")

Weight: 52 to 54 kg (114 to 119 lb)

Build: Athletic / Slim

Measurements: 33A - 23 - 33

Hair: Dark Blonde

Eyes: Brown

Age: 17-18 (The Curse of the Black Pearl), 20 (Dead Man's Chest), 21-22 (At World's End), 34-35 (Dead Men Tell No Tales)

Birthdate: 1700s

Personality[]

Throughout the first three Pirates films, Elizabeth Swann (later Elizabeth Turner) is portrayed as a spirited and independent-minded character. Despite this, she often chafes at the restrictions her gender and social rank impose upon her. Elizabeth was a strong willed and independent woman and was considered by many to be very beautiful. She would often speak her mind even if it meant offending others; for example, she called a potentially dangerous enemy, Sao Feng, a coward right to his face. Elizabeth was a bit of a tomboy and was a brave and resourceful woman.

During her early reign as Pirate King of the Brethren Court, Elizabeth proved to be very charismatic and encouraged the pirates to face off against Cutler Beckett's fleet, which showed that she had a talent for leadership. However, there was a darker side to Elizabeth's personality as shown when she handcuffed Jack Sparrow to the mast of the Black Pearl in order to give her and the others time to escape from the Kraken. However, she felt extremely guilty for leaving Jack (though she told Jack that she wasn't sorry before leaving him to his doom) and was a member of the crew that went to rescue him from Davy Jones' Locker.
