Elizabeth adalah putri dari Weatherby Swann, gubernur Port Royal, sebuah wilayah milik kerajaan Inggris (ketika itu) di wilayah Karibia. Ia merupakan seorang wanita cantik yang memiliki jiwa pemberontak dan senang dengan hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan bajak laut (pirate-obsessed). Karakter ini dimainkan dengan baik oleh aktris Keira Knightley. Knightley menceritakan tentang karakter yang ia perankan, "Dia seperti seorang wanita modern yang terdampar di abad ke-18." Elizabeth memiliki kemampuan untuk menempatkan dirinya; ia bisa menjadi wanita anggun sesuai dengan perannya sebagai anak seorang gubernur, tetapi ia juga dapat menjadi seorang wanita perkasa yang cakap memainkan pedang di tengah pertempuran.
Fictional Biography
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Di bagian awal film, diceritakan bagaimana Elizabeth bertemu dengan Will Turner untuk pertama kalinya. Elizabeth, yang ketika itu berumur 12 tahun, sedang bernyanyi ketika ia melihat tubuh seorang anak kecil terapung di antara bangkai kapal. Weatherby Swann, ayahnya, menolong dan mengangkat anak itu, yang tak lain adalah Will Turner, dan sejak saat itu mereka berteman.
Kecantikan Elizabeth membuat Will jatuh hati padanya.
Twelve-year-old Elizabeth Swann met a young Will Turner when he was rescued from a ship wreck. She and her father, Governor Weatherby Swann, were en route to Port Royal in the Caribbean. Eight years later, the independent-minded Elizabeth secretly yearns for freedom and fantasizes about pirates and life at sea. She and Will, who is now a blacksmith's apprentice, have formed a cordial friendship, although Will secretly loves her. Commodore James Norrington, a good and honorable Royal Navy officer, proposes to Elizabeth, but she faints and falls off the fort's wall and into the bay before answering. Meanwhile, pirate Captain Jack Sparrow arrives in Port Royal to commandeer a ship. While attempting to con the two marines guarding the HMS Interceptor, he sees Elizabeth fall. Sparrow saves her, but he is captured and jailed for piracy. That night, the Black Pearl, a pirate ship commanded by Captain Barbossa, raids Port Royal. Elizabeth is abducted because she claims her last name is "Turner" and possesses a gold medallion. The same medallion she took from Will Turner that was sent to him by his father years before. Barbossa believes it and Turner blood will break an ancient Aztec curse they're under. Using parley, Elizabeth negotiates with Barbossa to leave Port Royal in exchange for the medallion. Barbossa agrees but keeps her captive when she fails to bargain her own release. He later tells Elizabeth about the curse and reveals their true form in the moonlight—they are undead skeletons.
Untuk menyelamatkan Elizabeth, Will meminta bantuan kepada Jack setelah ia membantunya keluar dari penjara. Will tidak tahu bahwa Jack adalah mantan kapten Black Pearl; sepuluh tahun yang lalu, kru kapal memberontak dan membuang Jack ke pulau kecil. Jack dan Will pun mencuri kapal Interceptor dan berlayar menuju Tortuga. Di kapal, Jack memberitahu Will bahwa ia kenal dengan ayahnya, "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, adalah seorang bajak laut dan menjadi satu-satunya kru kapal yang menolak untuk memberontak. Sebagai balasannya, pemimpin para kru Barbossa memasukannya ke dalam meriam dan menembaknya ke luar kapal. Jack masih menyembunyikan fakta bahwa koin yang dibawa Elizabeth dan darah keturunan Turner dibutuhkan untuk menghilangkan kutukan itu.
Di Tortuga, mereka merekrut beberapa kru dengan bantuan Gibbs. Will sempat mencuri dengar rencana Jack untuk mendapatkan kembali Black Pearl dengan memanfaatkan Will. Mereka kemudian berlayar menuju Isla de Muerta, karena mengetahui bahwa Barbossa akan berlayar ke pulau itu untuk memecahkan kutukan. Dan tanpa disadari, Komodor Norrington dan kapalnya Dauntless juga berlayar ke sana. Di pulau, Will dan Jack mengendap masuk ke dalam gua dimana ritual pembebasan kutukan sedang berlangsung. Barbssa menjadi marah ketika mengetahui bahwa Elizabeth bukanlah keturunan Bootstrap, sehingga kutukan tersebut belum dapat dihilangkan. Will berhasil...
On Tortuga, they recruit a crew with help from Gibbs. Will overhears Jack's plan to use him to get back the Pearl. They head for Isla de Muerta, knowing Barbossa will go there to break the curse. In hot pursuit is Commodore Norrington aboard the Dauntless. At the island, Will and Jack sneak inside a cave where a ritual is underway. Barbossa becomes enraged when he discovers Elizabeth is not Bootstrap's child, and the curse is still in effect. Will rescues Elizabeth, who grabs the coin, but distrusting the eccentric pirate, Will leaves Sparrow unconscious in the cave. Believing Jack fell behind, Gibbs sets sail. Barbossa pursues the Interceptor, quickly overtaking her. After a fierce battle, the Interceptor is sunk and the crew is captured. Will reveals his identity. Unless the crew is released, he threatens to shoot himself while falling overboard, rendering him useless for breaking the curse. Barbossa complies, but because Will failed to specify when or where, the crafty pirate maroons Jack and Elizabeth. Elizabeth takes action and burns a cache of smuggler's rum to create a huge smoke signal that is spotted by Commodore Norrington. Aboard Dauntless, Elizabeth convinces Norrington to save Will by impulsively accepting his previous marriage proposal, telling him it would be her wedding present. She says nothing about the curse, however.
At Isla de Muerta, Norrington and his men prepare an ambush outside the cave. As Barbossa is about to sacrifice Will, Jack casually strolls in, interrupting the ritual. He informs the stunned Barbossa that the Royal Navy is outside and persuades him to form an alliance. Will reviles Sparrow for his treachery, but Jack's true allegiance is unclear. He secretly swipes a coin from the Aztec chest; to defeat Barbossa, he also needs to be cursed. When the pirates march off to battle the navy, Jack attacks Barbossa. Will fights the remaining pirates, helped by Elizabeth, who has slipped away from the Dauntless. She also freed Jack’s crew, but they refused to save Will or Jack and set sail on the Pearl. As Jack and Will battle the pirates, they offer their blood and return the last two coins to the chest, breaking the curse just after Jack shoots and kills Barbossa. He reverts to mortal form and falls dead. The remaining now-mortal pirates surrender. Will, Elizabeth, and Jack are rescued, although Jack is sentenced to be hanged for piracy.
At Jack's execution in Port Royal, Will, aided by Elizabeth, saves Sparrow from the gallows. Both are quickly captured, but Norrington and Governor Swann are reluctant to arrest Will or continue Jack's hanging. Jack then falls off the rampart and into the bay just as the Black Pearl sails into view. He is hauled aboard, captain once again. Norrington graciously concedes Elizabeth's hand to Turner. Good man that he is, Norrington allows the Black Pearl one day's head start before giving chase. (A deleted scene shows Norrington questioning Elizabeth's motive behind her sudden decision to accept his proposal.)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Captain Jack Sparrow has obtained a drawing of key that unlocks the Dead Man's Chest, but he does not know where to search. Unfortunately, Jack’s magic compass will not work for him. Further complicating matters, Davy Jones, captain of the legendary ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman, is hunting Jack to collect a blood debt. In Port Royal, about-to-be-married Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner are arrested by Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company for aiding Sparrow’s escape. Former Commodore James Norrington is also implicated. The punishment is death, but Beckett offers clemency if Will can find Jack Sparrow and his compass.
Will finds the Black Pearl crew on Pelegosto hiding from Jones' leviathan, the Kraken. Meanwhile, Elizabeth escapes jail, and learning Beckett is only pardoning Sparrow, boldly confronts him at gunpoint. She demands he validate the Letter of Marque intended to pardon and recruit Jack Sparrow as a privateer for the Crown, but which she wants for Will. He signs it but says he still wants the compass. Unknown to Elizabeth, he needs it to find the Dead Man's Chest containing the heart of Davy Jones. With it, Beckett will control the seas.
Determined to find Will, Elizabeth disguises herself as a cabin boy and tricks a merchant crew into taking port in Tortuga. There she encounters Sparrow and Gibbs in a pub desperately recruiting sailors to pay off Jack's debt to Davy Jones, who demands one hundred souls in exchange for Jack's. Another man applies—James Norrington, who is now a miserable, drunken wretch. Blaming Sparrow for his ruin, Norrington attempts to shoot him and ignites a brawl, but Elizabeth saves him by knocking him out. At the pier, she confronts a flirtatious Jack and demands to know what happened to Will. Jack tells her Will was pressed ganged into Davy Jones's crew, although he claims he is blameless. Norrington is skeptical, however. Jack convinces Elizabeth she can save Will by finding the Dead Man's Chest. Trusting Sparrow, she uses his magical compass, and it gives a bearing.
As the Black Pearl heads for Isla Cruces, Jack becomes amorous towards Elizabeth. Norrington observes her seemingly pleased reaction to Sparrow's attention, but Elizabeth rejects his implication that she has romantic feelings and says she trusts him is all. Norrington asks if she wondered just how Will was captured by Davy Jones. Elizabeth becomes distressed when the compass points to Jack, who attempts to woo her but fails. She tells him she believes he is a good man and that one day an opportunity will arise for him to do a courageous thing, but he brushes off her comments. Encouraged by her coyness, he almost kisses her, but the Black Spot, a mark that Jack's blood debt is due, suddenly reappears on his hand, and he rushes off. Elizabeth mistakenly believes he is respecting her virtue, unaware the Kraken is hunting him again.
On Isla Cruces, Jack, Elizabeth, and Norrington find the Dead Man's Chest. Elizabeth is reunited with Will, who escaped the Flying Dutchman and has the key to the chest. A furious Elizabeth learns Jack betrayed him. A conflict erupts over the chest: Will wants to stab the heart and kill Jones to free his father from Jones' servitude. Jack fears the Kraken will continue hunting him if Jones is dead. Norrington plots to bargain back his career. A three-way duel erupts. Although Jones' crewmen arrive, Jack gets the key and opens the chest, but it is Norrington who escapes with the heart and the Letter of Marque.
Pursued by the Flying Dutchman, the Pearl outruns her. Davy Jones summons the Kraken, but the crew temporarily fight it off. In a cowardly moment, Jack deserts the ship but returns in time to save his crew. He orders everyone to abandon ship. Realizing the Kraken only wants Jack, Elizabeth distracts him with a passionate kiss while handcuffing him to the mast. She says, "I'm not sorry". Climbing into the longboat, she tells the others he chose to stay behind, unaware Will witnessed the kiss. The Kraken returns for its final assault, and the Pearl and Jack are dragged to a watery grave. Davy Jones declares their debt settled, but he is enraged when he discovers the Dead Man's Chest is empty. It is during this final battle that Jack's and Elizabeth's contrasting characters emerge: Jack shows heroism and loyalty by returning to the ship and saving his crew; by abandoning her sense of duty and honor, Elizabeth becomes more pirate-like and uses deception to sacrifice Jack to protect herself and the others (although she is guilt-ridden over her actions).
Norrington arrives in Port Royal and presents the heart and the Letter of Marque to Cutler Beckett. Meanwhile, Will, Elizabeth and the grieving crew make their way to Tia Dalma, the voodoo priestess who helped Jack find the Dead Man's Chest. As the crew drink a somber toast to their fallen captain, a tearful Elizabeth silently grieves over her act of betrayal. Although a dejected Will believes Elizabeth now loves Jack, he tries comforting her. "If anything could be done to bring Jack back . . ." Tia Dalma interrupts and asks if they would be willing to travel to World's End to return Jack. All agree, but she says they will need a captain who knows those waters. Incredibly, a very alive Captain Barbossa descends the stairs.
