PERSONALITY
Elizabeth is a handful to the greatest extent. She is a very independent young woman and it shows quite nicely. Nothing will ever stand in the way of her nor would it want to. Elizabeth is very strong willed. She believes that if she wants it, she shall get it. No matter what the cost or how far she must go. Driven would be another good way to describe her. She also speaks her mind not usually caring whose feelings it may hurt. Bluntness and spot on sudden decisions is how she runs her life. She is also a bit of a tomboy. Getting down and dirty with the big boys doesn't bother this girl one bit. Also she is very charismatic. Able to encourage anyone to do something when need be. She tends to be very good with words.
Loyalty is also one of her strongest points. If she sees someone as a friend or dear to her she will stop at nothing to see to it that they are safe. However not all things are peachy. She has a bit of a dark side. She will do anything to save her life as well as the people she holds close. If this means she has to sacrifice someone or something for the good of the group, she will. With out a second thought. She also has a small problem with keeping her mouth shut which sometimes lands her into a bit of trouble as well as her curiosity.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE;
Elizabeth is said to be a very beautiful ad attractive young lady by many people. She has very dark brown eyes and are sort of almond shape. The color compliments her lighter hair quite nicely. As for her hair, it has not changed through out her life. Since before she can remember she had always been blessed with gorgeous locks of a light brown with natural dark blonde highlights. However when traveling a seas it tends to do what it wishes which normally isn't like when she is all dolled up and presentable. It also surrounds her face well which is is a mixture between a heart shaped and an oval. This shape fits her distinguished features. Including her plump lips that are always a nice shade of pink-ish red. She has slightly high cheekbones which slide down into her jaw line and chin. Her nose is a bit harder to describe but not in a bad way. It's centered just right and not too big but not exactly incredible small either.
At the age of eighteen, Elizabeth is pretty much finished with her growth spurts. Resting at the height of 5' 7". Her height evens out with her torso and her legs properly. Her weight happens to equally distribute within that height. Coming in at one hundred and thirty four pounds. However she is pretty athletic and her body reflects this. It's mainly due to manning a ship and all that running. Elizabeth has a small scar on her leg from where she fell from a tree in her front courtyard when she was much, much younger. Also a scar on her right hand from having it sliced open with a knife.

BACKGROUND;
Elizabeth Swann was boring in London, England on August 24, 1716 to Weatherby Swann and his dear wife. Not much is known about her early childhood just that it was decent. She was brought up in a loving and happy home. When she was at the age of twelve she made the journey from London to Port Royal. It was on that journey that she lost her mother due to a fever. Also on the crossing was when she also saw her first Pirate ship and the moment she first met William Turner II. The boy had been drifting on a piece of wood when she spotted him and the crew automatically brought him on board. Her father put him in her care and she was to look after her and discover his name. While watching over him she found a medallion around his neck with a skull and cross bones on it. The symbol of a pirate. Upon the surprise of her father she hid the medallion away and stated that his name was William Turner. That was it. So the young boy traveled with them to Port Royal. Over the next several years William and Elizabet became great friends although her high social status seemed to put a blockade between them half the time. It was during that time that Elizabeth had fallen in love with once young boy whom she had found and saved all those years ago. However she feared to admit it. Every time she saw Will her stomach automatically filled with butterflies. Especially on the day in which she was to attended James Norrington's promotion ceremony.
It was after the ceremony that her life changed forever. Elizabeth had agreed to speak with the now Commodore Norrington and they stepped to the edge of the battlements of the fort. It was there that he asked her to be is wife and in surprise as well as the constricting corset, Elizabeth lost her breath and fainted falling into the water just below. It was then that he medallion around her neck sent out a signal as she sank in the water. She was then saved by newcomer to Port Royal, Captain Jack Sparrow. That was when the trouble started. Just as soon as he rescued her, Jack was taken into custody. Elizabeth pleaded and asked them to not put away her rescuer. However that plain backfired when Jack too her hostage and a black from the guns and swords of the Royal Fleet so he could make his escape. And so he did, but that wouldn't be the last time she would see Captain Sparrow.
Over the next few years Elizabeth found herself wrapped up into the world of Piracy. From being taken aboard the Black Pearl because of the sole fact that it's captain thought she would break the curse set upon him and his crew. To becoming the Pirate King due to two votes of her name. It seemed her life had been over turned and she face death on more then one occasion. However nothing seemed to matter because it was during those years that Elizabeth and William Turner confessed their love for one another since a very young age. During the battle of Calypso's Maelstrom, William sought out to fight Davy Jones for the release of his father. It ended with Will being horribly injured to the point where he was knocking at deaths door and Davy Jones was put to rest by Jack Sparrow. Elizabeth immediately went to his side. Pain and grief stricken by the fall of her love. That was when Will's father, Bootstrap Bill Turner saved his life by taking his heart from his chest and placing it into the Dead Mans Chest making him the new Captain of the Flying Dutchman. However this meant Elizabeth only got to see him once every ten years.
Before he left for sea, Will gave Elizabeth the chest that contained his heart telling her that it had always belongs to her so she might as well be the one to keep it safe. After one last kiss he departed and that was the last time Elizabeth would see her husband for ten long years. Nine month following their previous encounter Elizabeth gave birth to a baby boy whom she named William Turner III after her sons father and grandfather. As she raised her son Elizabeth always kept her promise and continued to keep a weather eye on the horizon.

ROLE PLAY EXAMPLE;
Laughing is something one is destined to do at one point in time or another. It is unavoidable. When you laugh it's said to and seven seconds onto your life. Well in Lily's case she should live until she is well over a hundred for making people laugh is what she does best and in return she too, laughs. Pranking is something that this young Potter loved to do. It was her talent. Besides Quidditch it was the only thing keeping her sane. It was also an addiction. Something she couldn't help but do. Just this morning she had set off a Howling Pop Bomb she had gotten from her Uncle in the prefects bathroom. It helped that Uncle Fred and George owned a Joke shope and Lily could get whatever her little heart desired. Especially disappearing crystals. Those where Lily's favorite. It made the getaway so much easier. As did the map of the castle. When one knew every back passage way through out Hogwarts it render one untouchable, for the most part. Once they figured out who it was the guilty party was pretty much out of luck.
As Lily sat in the back corner of the Common Room she peered up from her notebook. Other students were scuffling about. Going every which way. Some off to the corridors or up the stairs to the dorms. Others just hung around downstairs doing whatever they pleased. Going back to her notebook, Lily reread over what she already had written down which wasn't very much. She was trying to think of some new pranks that she could discus with Fred to see which ones they would be able to do. Of course they could do just about anything but you needed to factor in patience and time. Also equipment. Lily put her pencil to her mouth and started to think. What hadn't they done? Looking back down she started to check off somethings that were on the list. “Done that.” she muttered. Her orbs continued to read on. She shook her head and scratched out a few more. Lily wanted to stay away from the normal 'muggle' pranks such as toilet paper or eggs. It was just so unoriginal. It was over done. Finally she came near the end of the list and the last one seemed to catch her eye. Fire tarts. It was a tart in which if it was put into a liquid it would make the taste unbearably hot. They were a new product that her uncles gave her to test out. They weren't being sold yet because they wanted someone else opinion on them. So why not give them to Lily to test out. She would know what to do with them right? Well, not so much. As she sat there she started to ponder what she could do with these tarts. “Put them in tomorrow nights soup dinner?” she asked herself. Lily shook her head. No she couldn't do that. Although it would be funny the first few times, once every else started to react to it it would just be boring. Although if she put it in a professors drink it might be fun.
All this thinking was beginning to give Lily a headache. She had never thought so much over a stupid prank before. Usually they just popped into her head. Oh no. Was she losing her touch? Suddenly her stomach growled. That was it. She was a tad hungry. Actually she was very hungry. She had skipped dinner just to do this and had forgotten all about eating. What a smart cookie. Lily curled her legs up into the chair she was sitting and looked back around the room. The noise had suddenly dropped around her due to the amount of people who had just left the room to go up to bed or to wander the halls before curfew. She was alone.
