Elizabeth Swann

Elizabeth Swann is a fictional character, and also one of the main characters. Elizabeth is the pirate-obsessed daughter of Weatherby Swann, the governor of Port Royal in the Caribbean. Elizabeth is portrayed by actress Keira Knightley and the younger Elizabeth (seen in flashbacks) is played by Lucinda Dryzek. Knightley sums up her character as, "some kind of modern girl stuck in the world of the 18th century." Elizabeth has the capacity to act with the propriety and breeding of a noble lady. She seeks more independence than would normally be given to a woman of her rank during the 18th century. It is, however, an interesting fact that she, Will Turner and Jack Sparrow all derive their surnames from birds (swan, tern and sparrow).
