She was a prostitute who married a successful pirate from a long line of successful pirates and historical records suggest she was an active participant, not just a passive observer. I mention this since it's been suggested that Elizabeth gains pirate leadership expertise by being exposed to people in power. Cheng-Shih had tons of firsthand, hands on experience - not of observing leaders in a drawing room or at the dinner table, but actual, real piracy. Upon her husband's death, she quickly consolidated power through her own efforts. Nobody hands her a piece of eight and bestows a leadership role upon her because they think she's a sea goddess.

Frankly, I think it's a shame she didn't have a more prominent role in the movie, because as a real historical figure AND someone who actually earned their leadership role, she'd have been a lot more interesting.

What makes you think Elizabeth was a passive observer during her time spent with pirates? From the very start, she's anything but passive. The leadership role WAS bestowed on her by chance, but she THEN stood up and made the position her own.
