Carina Barbossa (formerly known as Carina Smyth) is the tritagonist of Dead Men's Chest. is a young horologist, astronomer, and the daughter of Hector Barbossa. She was portrayed by Kaya Scodelario.
Background[]
Carina was found at an orphanage, left there by her father, Hector Barbossa because he felt he was not fit to be a father and did not believe that the pirate life was for her and hoped Carina would use the Ruby on her diary to get by in life. Her mother, Margaret, died in childbirth.
Personality[]
An intelligent and serious young woman who has dedicated her life to studying the stars.
Initially, Carina had come across as cold and arrogant, due to her insulting the intelligence of those around her but this was mostly because of the misguided belief of her being a witch.
She detested pirates as shown when she insulted Jack and his crew on various occasions and slapped Barbossa for insulting her father (unaware he was her father). After being saved by Barbossa and learning he was her father, she accepted it even though he was a pirate as he saved her and assured he cared for her by calling her Treasure. Following Barbossa's death, she was distraught by his sacrifice as she searched for him for years and he was gone again. However, after Henry gave her back her book she was reminded of her father's care and took on his name to honor his memory.
She initially did not believe in the supernatural and harshly criticized others for believing in them but this changed when seeing Captain Salazar along with his undead crew up close, which left her speechless and ran off screaming that such things existed. Her shock further increased as she witnessed the Black Pearl being released from a bottle and growing to full size. Afterwards, she accepted that not all things can be explained scientifically.
She formed a close bond with Henry Turner, who also had distant relationship with his father and they soon developed an attraction that both acted on. When they became a couple, she was very happy to be with him and now lives with him and his family.
