Marina (On Stranger Tides)

Marina is one of the beau tiful-but-deadly  Mermaids of Whitecap Bay  featured in  Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. In the final version of the film, she did little to distinguish herself from the other mermaids who attacked the longboat therein, however a deleted scene strongly suggests both that she knew  Jack Sparrow  before the encounter and that she has mixed-but-fairly-intense feelings for him. ==Background== Marina initially appears to be simply another of the alluring, predatious mermaids who provide great danger for the pirates who are hunting them. However, the deleted scene used in trailors or featurettes indicates that she has a quality which renders her unique; a former relationship with a human.

When Marina sees Jack Sparrow upon surfacing, the two recognize one another. The latter reacts with his typical dread at meeting one of his jilted lovers while the former delivers a sound slap across his face, a look of keen anguish clearly visible on her own. Taken at face value, this brief scene suggests that she, like Syrena, was capable of loving a human. However, Marina's affections fell upon a less-worthy man than Philip Swift, and thus her heart was broken and she became something of a tragic villainness.
