At the age of seven and a score Anamaria decided that it was time to retire. She was too old for pirating and no longer wished to stink of fish. After much haranguing, Sparrow was persuaded to relinquish her pension.

In the caves of Isla de Muerta she seized the feminine articles that tickled her fancy and loaded them into ready chests. Anamaria confiscated every pearl to be found in piles of silver and gold and made herself the mistress of more pearls than the Lady of Cofitachequi.

In Saint-Dominique she parted ways with Sparrow and purchased herself a daughter and a hillside plantation. She grew coffee and her true wealth was a secret known only to her. Anamaria soon found herself in want of a lover.

At the age of seventeen Elizabeth Swann could see no passion in a man of thirty-five and Anamaria pitied her as she stepped down to marry her young blacksmith. Pity notwithstanding, she commandeered her prize - she took his heart.

Take what you can; give nothing back was a motto that had served her well as a pirate and fisherman, but it served her far better as a woman with all the charms of a courtesan. It was an honest act of piracy that James Norrington not only allowed, but quite thoroughly enjoyed.
