Margaret Smyth
The bravest thing
she ever did
was to stay alive each day.. .

Anybody else want a full backstory on Hector Barbossa? We know some about his life from the extended written series, but a movie focused on him would be amazing. Also, I want more of an explanation of what happened between Barbossa and Margaret Smyth. She seems like she must’ve been a special woman to attract the eye of the notorious Pirate Lord.
She came from the ocean,
this wild girl from the sea,
her hair flowing southwards,
she walked towards me.
A west to east smile,
with eyes steely grey,
like a storm in the distance,
rolling in from the bay.
We kissed with the sunrise,
made love when it set,
a promise by moonlight,
came dawn, my regret,
He left for the ocean,
this boy from the land,
his spirits soar northward,
his heart in her hands.
“When Margaret died, I summoned as much honor as a worthless blackguard ever could. I placed the infant in an orphanage, never to see her again. I thought the ruby might afford her some ease in life…but I never imagined she’d take those scribblings and make a life of her own.”
—Hector Barbossa, POTC: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Margaret: I was a rambunctious child. Always causing mischief and getting into trouble. Honestly, I think my Mother was a bit relieved when I ran away. It would break her heart to know what I’ve become.
Hector: And what have ye become?
