- She tried to save her father, before realizing it was too late, and swearing to avenge his death.
- She expressed some level of remorse to Will for her act of sacrificing Jack.
- She tried to convince Will's father, Bootstrap Bill, to go against Davy Jones.
- She was horrified when Norrington sacrificed himself to save her and tried to get him to go with her.
- Once she was Pirate Queen, she had the pirates all team up against Lord Cuter Beckett.

What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- While it was for the greater good, she felt a level of remorse after this, and Jack has similarly double-crossed them, as well as her saving him afterwards, leaving Jack to die to the Kraken was still a questionable and lethal maneuver.
- She is a jerk to others sometimes, being rude to James Norringhton even before he was her fiancé, but most of these moments are understandable considering the circumstances and people.
Trivia[]
- She and Will Turner are the only Pirates of the Caribbean heroes to be Near Pure Good, which makes sense, as, despite being technically pirates, they were one of the few characters not to be it at the start of the series and have a better moral code, which makes them one of the few heroes not to be anti-heroes.
