Story
Before Kingdom Hearts II
Even as a child, Elizabeth Swann had a fascination with pirates and adventures on the high seas, something that her father, Governor Weatherby Swann, and Commodore James Norington discouraged. One day, while traveling with her father on the British navy ship, the Dauntless, she spotted a young boy floating on a piece of drift wood. The boy was rescued and brought on board the Dauntless. It was then that the crew saw where the boy had come from: a merchant ship now in ruins thanks to the Black Pearl and her crew. Elizabeth spotted the golden Aztec medallion hanging around Will's neck and fearing that Will would be hanged as a pirate, secretly took it. Looking on, she saw the silhouette of the Black Pearl, something that would stick in her memory forever. Growing up, Will and Elizabeth became fast friends and lovers, but her life changed when Hector Barbossa and the Black Pearl's crew came for her and the medallion she wore.
Kingdom Hearts II
Elizabeth is first captured by the undead pirates, as she tells them that her surname is Turner. Sora and company arrive in Port Royal just as she is being taken prisoner. They try to rescue her, but fail.
Later Sora, Donald, and Goofy help Jack Sparrow and Will Turner command the Interceptor, the fastest boat in the British Navy. With it, Sora and friends rescue Elizabeth and, after some complications, defeat Captain Barbossa and the undead pirates.
Elizabeth reappears on the Black Pearl during Sora's second visit to Port Royal. She alerts the party that Will has gone missing. They later find him on the Interceptor and manage to save him. Thereafter, Sora and the others are attacked by Luxord's Nobodies and Heartless and get blown to another ship, which is then destroyed.
She doesn't reappear until Sora finds all the medallions that are stolen by the Gambler Nobodies, right before the second battle with the Grim Reaper Heartless.
After the battle, she helps get rid of the Aztec treasure and agrees with Jack to join his crew.
Personality
Elizabeth is a spirited and independent-minded character. Throughout the three films, she transforms from a modest young lady into a courageous pirate. Elizabeth has always been fascinated by piracy and life at sea, but she is also revolted by pirates' aggressive, wild nature, especially when she meets Captain Jack Sparrow, who made his escape from Port Royal at her expense. However, she was grateful to him for saving her life and unsuccessfully attempted to prevent his arrest. She thinks very logically, and is at first skeptical of Barbossa when he tells her about the pirate's curse. She shows weakness in her strong personality when Barbossa steps into the moonlight and reveals to her his true self. Her strong intellect is also shown when she is compared to Will, Jack and Sora. Will and Sora, because of their strong sense of justice, tend to jump into battles, not thinking about the consequences. Jack only thinks of himself, and this selfishness is a quality that she does not possess. Even after becoming a pirate, she retains her sense of propriety, as well as her loyalty and compassion for loved ones (namely Will Turner, her father, and later, Jack Sparrow). She has feelings for Will Turner (feelings which are more than mutual).
Appearance
Elizabeth has fair skin, brown eyes and long, dirty blonde hair. She wears an elegant, gold and white lace dress with floral patterns decorating the sides and a more abstract pattern adorning the front.
