New quote for article?[]
Question, should the article's main quote, currently her taking her father's name as her own, be changed ? It's a huge spoiler and it doesn't really reflect the character's nature that much, the way those lines usually do. My suggestion is to replace it with a line from the Brightest Star in the North novel: "If there's one thing I know about Carina Smyth, it's that her personality burns as bright as a star." (p. 14)
If we want to keep it to movie lines, the bit where she "confesses" to having survived with nothing but the journal she was left and all that would also work.

Here's the translation of Carina's pages (4-7) from the DMTNT Behind the scenes Magazine.--UskokViceroy of the Indies, Nemesis 18:09, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
THE WAY DESIGNATED BY THE STARS
Everyone accuses Carina Smyth of witchcraft, but she does not get tired of repeating that she is only engaged in science. Carina is a brilliant scientist with a sharp mind and a knack for picking locks and wants to be recognized in a world where all the main roles are played by men. Solving the mystery of the mysterious map will prove that Carina rightfully deserves respect and recognition.
Photos from the shooting: Fleeing from the persecution of the authorities of Saint-Martin, in search of a chronometer, Carina enters the cartographer's house. Production designer Nigel Phelps came up with a space that is both a bookshop and an old, dusty museum.
"She's an orphan, but she's working hard to build her life," says actress Kaya Scodelario, who plays Carina in the film. - She wants to be an astronomer and a horologist (specialist in measuring time). She wants to study time and space, the stars and the universe." The most precious thing Carina has is a diary that she has had since her early childhood, since she was orphaned. This is the diary of the 17th century Italian astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei. Encrypted on its pages is a map that is said to lead to the Trident of Poseidon.
Carina does not have a simple name Carina - this is the Latin name for the constellation Carina in the Southern Hemisphere, which is the second brightest star of the night sky.
Filming photos: Henry Turner and Carina Smith are tied to the Dying Gull's mast as the captives of Jack Sparrow and his crew who try to read the diary.
Carina studied the diary all her life, and it inspired her to pursue science. She believes that with the help of this diary she will be able to reveal the secret of her birth and origin, as well as find the mysterious Trident and thereby prove to everyone that she is a real scientist. “She wants to know who she is,” explains Kaya Scodelario. - I think she decided to do it when she was only six or seven years old. And finally, she set off on a journey and will not turn off it.
Kaya Scodelario reflects on her character: “She is always looking either at the sky, or down at her diary, or she steers the ship.” Nothing can distract Carina from the task at hand.
Science or myth Carina and Henry are like two sides of the same coin: she believes in science, he believes in omens. But as they travel together, they begin to understand each other and learn that one belief does not necessarily preclude another.
Carina's Chronometer To unravel the map that no one can read, Carina uses a chronometer. This instrument measures time at a given location, such as the prime meridian. The difference between this time and the local time of the ship allows Carina, or any other sailor who knows how to use a chronometer, to determine the longitude at sea, and hence the position of the ship. ______________________________
Carina entered two hundred stars into the astronomical catalog and became a specialist in spyglasses and telescopes. In this photo from the shoot, she is adjusting the telescope because it is off by two degrees. “Kaya (Scodelario) is a brilliant young actress who plays a very smart girl,” says the film producer Jerry Bruckheimer. “Carina Smyth is a strong heroine, stubborn, unbending, but she also has a heart.”
- Nice. Other than "Bruckheimer" instead of "Yehruckheimer" which is the one misspelling in the original translation that I just corrected. Other than that, it seems about all right to me, more or less. Well done! :) --
