Lara Croft is a British adventurer.

Life

As Tomb Raider (2013) is supposed to be a reboot, all of the previous history established in the Tomb Raider Classic and the Next Generation games has been erased. Consequently not much is known of her past up until now.

At the age of 21 she just finished her collage education. She signs on for an expedition to Asia, to search for the Lost Fleet of Kublai Khan. A violent storm shipwrecks her on an remote island in the Dragon Triangle.

Family Background

It is unknown what kind of family background the new Lara Croft has. At one point during the Crossrads Trailer Roth says: "You can do it Lara, after all you're a Croft", implying some kind of family background involving adventure, survival skills, and maybe even archaeological interest.

Friends and Enemies

We know nothing of any kind of friends outside the group of explorers who travelled with her on the Endurance.

Of those of the Endurance's crew it seems that Captain Conrad Roth is a kind of father figure, a man to whom Lara tuns when everything goes wrong. The first thing she tries to do after finding the radio is to contact Roth.

She calls Sam a friend several times during the demos and their conversation - overheard by Mathias - implies some mutual history when she tries to asks her "like that night in Brighton, Sam, remember?".

Lara Croft

• Real Name: Lara Croft
• Age: 21
• Nationality: British
• Occupation: Recently graduated Archaeologist. Also worked several part-time jobs as a student to help pay her way through university, including bar work.
• Interests: Archery, rock climbing & hiking, reading & research.

A bit of a workaholic, Lara is an unassuming and rather bookish young woman, making her way through life in search of meaning and direction after the disappearance of her parents while on an expedition. She is a product of a privileged childhood, and was initially sheltered from many of the harsh realities of life. Growing up, Lara spent time travelling with her parents on archaeological expeditions. She developed a worldly outlook and a passion for ancient mysteries.

The search for Yamatai marks her first job after graduating from university. Although it is her first time as a full crewmember, it is not her first time on the Endurance. She spent time in her early adolescence on the ship when her father used to hire Roth for expeditions, and took several smaller trips more recently as an intern when she could get time away from her studies. Her best friend Samantha and the crew of the Endurance are the closest thing to family that Lara has.

She possesses a powerful sense of moral (if not physical) courage. Lara is clever, resourceful and determined. When push comes to shove, Lara's loyalty to her friends outweighs her fear for her own safety.
