Carina Smyth

Carina Smyth, also known as Carina Barbossa, was an astronomer and horologist around the middle of the 18th century. A brilliant thinker, Carina was a woman ahead of her time. She was often accused of being a witch for her interests in astronomy, time, and mathematics. Though women had no right to study at university in her time, Carina Smyth fought against that rule. She eventually came in possession of a diary with clues that would lead to the mystical Trident of Poseidon. Along the way, she encountered Henry Turner and the infamous pirate Jack Sparrow. Carina sought the Trident to not only prove herself as a scientist but to unravel the mystery of where she came from, discover who her unknown father is, and who she is truly meant to be. Not much are known about Carina Smyth's early life. Her father, Hector Barbossa left her to an orphanage after her mother's death. It is likely she was a baby then. She was left outside the orphanage with a diary with a ruby on it and a name, "Carina Smyth". Inside of the diary there were many important astronomy dates who could lead her to the trident of Poseidon. Carina is vastly intelligent having astronomy and science for many years. She dislikes people calling her a witch and the stupidity or ignorance of those who disbelieve her research.

She originally did not believe in the supernatural, legends or ghost stories however, this changed when she saw Armando Salazar and his undead crew up close. Seeing that ghosts were in front of her, she became rather shocked at the sight and ran away screaming that such things existed. Her shock further increased after she witnessed the Black Pearl being released from a bottle. She eventually came to terms with it and slowly accepted that not all things can have a scientific explanation. Carina had a deep longing to meet her father after having been placed in an orphanage at a young age. She didn't like her father's legacy being sullied as shown when she slapped Hector Barbossa for calling him a thief. However, upon learning that he was actually her father she accepted it after her referred to her as treasure when saving her. After his heroic death, she changed her name to Carina Barbossa to honor his memory.

Still comprehending what was happening, she was given little time to think, for the sea then closed in on her, Henry and Jack. The crew of the Black Pearl raised the anchor and out came the three heroes from the water. As Carina made her way aboard the Pearl, all began to sink in. Her eyes filled with tears as she was finally able to piece everything together and comprehend what had just happened. As the entire crew mourned the sacrifice of Hector Barbossa, Jack noticed Carina's expression and gave Henry carina's diary so he could win her over. Henry approached Carina asking if she was alright but she didn't know as she lamented that for a moment she had everything, only for it to be gone again. Henry told her not everything as he gave her the book and she accepted the gesture since the book was given to her by her father as Henry called her "Miss Smyth" she corrected him, and told him that her name was "Barbossa". The sea had finally been tamed. All was calm as they sailed back to Henry's home, where he tried to kiss her though she slapped him for it thinking he was still possessed. He forgives her and kisses her, a sentiment she returns. She then watches as Henry met with his father after years of not seeing him. Carina stood beside Henry as they both grasped hands as Henry's mother emerged from the hills and ran towards her husband. Carina and Henry smiled at the two finally being able to reunite after so long. Her further fate is unknown.
