Anne Bonny was a crazy-ass pirate chick who sailed across the caribbean destroying anybody who looked at her funny and generally being a vicious, man-killing scourge of the seas, making a name for herself by hacking the arms off merchant sailors, stepping on their necks, and then shooting them out of a cannon face-first into a brick wall.
(Upon being captured and sentenced to hang.)
Once it was revealed that Anne was pregnant with Calico Jack's baby (Calico Jack being her pirate lover), her sentence was commuted and she was released (a common practice for the times). Before she left jail, she stopped in to pay Jack a visit. She calmly walked up to the bars of his cell, looked him dead in the eye, and said, "I'm sorry, Jack, but if you had fought like a man, you would not now be about to die like a dog." Then she turned on her heel, strode out the front door, and completely vanished from history.
