Pirates of the Caribbean

Carina Smyth, later Carina Barbossa, is a prominent character in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

She is an astronomer and horologist, relentlessly pursuing scientific knowledge in a male-dominated 18th-century world. Labelled a witch due to her intelligence and unorthodox pursuits, Carina is fiercely independent and determined to prove her worth.

Initially seeking the Trident of Poseidon for its scientific value, Carina's journey intertwines with Captain Jack Sparrow and Henry Turner. She possesses a key that, when united with other clues, reveals the Trident's location.

Throughout the film, Carina displays bravery and intellect, contributing significantly to the quest to stop Captain Salazar. In a pivotal moment, it's revealed that Hector Barbossa is her father, who abandoned her as a baby to protect her from the pirate life. Carina ultimately embraces her Barbossa heritage, signifying a powerful connection to her lineage.
