The Lara Croft
Lara herself has become a celebrity figure and has achieved
unparalleled status as an icon for both the industry and the
digital age. Her popularity has grown, almost exponentially, over
the course of the top-selling titles. Described as a 'virtual idol',
'the first true supermodel of the cyber age', and 'Britain's
ambassador for scientific excellence', Lara has also taken the
mainstream by storm. Her image has graced hundreds of
magazine covers worldwide and she has featured in a vast range
of articles from current affairs to fashion. Douglas Coupland has
dedicated a book to her (Lara's book) and she was nominated as
one of Time's Top 20 most influential figures of the 20th Century.
With comic books, action figures, clothing ranges and a live-
action feature film underway (Paramount Pictures), she has
become a sought after product spokesperson. To
date Lara has helped to advertise the Sci-Fi
Channel and has also appeared in television
advertising campaigns for SEAT
cars and Lucozade Energy.
Lara Croft is unique as a role
model for the digital generation.
Her dynamic personality, physical
appeal and the popularity of her
adventures ensures she continues to
maintain her status as the world's
premier cyber heroine.

INTRODUCTION
Tomb Raider games are third-person action-
adventures, available for PC CD-ROM, Sony
PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast and
Nintendo Game Boy
Color formats.
Tomb Raider was the first
video game to feature a
female protagonist: the player assumes the role of infamous
adventurer Lara Croft. Lara is an enterprising, independent
character who must be guided through a series of turbulent
exploits across the globe, following in the tradition of action
movie characters such as 'Indiana Jones'.
Lara is unique, using a combination of wit and daring to solve
puzzles and achieve her goals, unlike many of her male
counterparts who rely largely on violence to reach an
objective. With her fearless acrobatic style, Lara is able
to perform a wide variety of intricate moves as well
as death-defying stunts and acrobatic manoeuvres.
Tomb Raider games have been critically acclaimed
by the media and have received numerous
accolades within the industry. Core Design itself
was awarded a BAFTA in recognition of Tomb
Raider's outstanding contribution to the
interactive industry. Since the release of the
groundbreaking original, each Tomb Raider
adventure has improved on the last. The most
recent installment is no exception to what
has been the most consistent series of
computer games
in history.

currently preparing for an archaeological tour across Asia, culminating
in a potential new discovery to be made in Cambodia.
Unable to contain herself, Lara burst in to the room, thrust the article
in front of her parents and without hesitation demanded she
accompany Von Croy on his expedition. Lord Croft could hardly
disagree that travel was an education in itself.
As Lara argued the case further, he
found himself walking over to the
desk and penning a letter to Von
Croy, introducing himself as an
influential society figure and offering
financial assistance in exchange for
his daughter's place on the
expedition.
Von Croy's reply assured the
Henshingly Crofts that the territories
were friendly and that he had ample
experience to look after both his and
Lara’s well being. Lara's company as
an assistant would be welcome, as
was the offer of such a generous cheque. He remembered Lara from his
lecture - her incessant yet insightful questions had made quite an
impression upon him.
And so it was agreed by all that Lara would accompany Von Croy for
the duration of the tour, Lara however was destined to return alone...
Later, at her Swiss
finishing school, she took
to the art of extreme skiing
and spent a holiday in the
Himalayas searching for
more challenging terrain.
On her return trip
however, the plane crashed
deep within the mountains
and Lara was the only
survivor.
Unable to stand the suffocating atmosphere of upper-class British
society any longer, she realised she was only truly alive when she was
travelling alone.
Despite this drastic life change, Lara still retains the essence of her
upbringing - most notably with her polite, upper-class accent.
Lara’s parents though, having sported hopes of her marrying the Earl
of Farringdon, were less than convinced about this chosen lifestyle and
ceased to associate with their daughter - even terminating her monthly
allowance. The Earl is still waiting.

BACKGROUND
EDUCATION
Private Tutoring (3 - 11)
Wimbledon High School for Girls (11 - 16)
Gordonstoun Boarding School (16 - 18)
Swiss Finishing School (18 - 21)
SPORTS
Not much of a team player. Discovered rock climbing
while at Gordonstoun and used to set off into the hills
alone during netball practice.
Also took up shooting as an extra-curricular activity but
was instantly banned for showing ‘too keen an interest’.
However, the strength that climbing gave her fingers was
to become useful when she started pulling triggers for real.
FAMILY
The daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, Lara was brought up in the
secure world of aristocracy – surrounded by tennis, butlers and corgis.
But this all started to change when she went to the renowned school of
Gordonstoun and found the mountains of Scotland.
Whilst on summer vacation, she chanced across a copy of National
Geographic on the hall table. The front cover featured a familiar name -
Professor Werner Von Croy. A respected archaeologist, Von Croy had
once lectured at Lara's school to pupils and parents alike. The
experience had a profound effect on Lara, triggering a desire for travel
to remote locations in search of adventure. In some ways Von Croy had
become an inspirational figure for Lara, she learned that Von Croy was
The Lara Croft
While in England, Lara lives in a mansion in
Surrey which she inherited many years ago.
At one time she saw little use in it but now
realises that, if nothing else, it is at least
handy for storing all the artifacts she has
acquired on her travels. She has also had a
custom-built assault course constructed in the
grounds for training purposes.
Style Guide
FAVOURITE MODE OF
A Norton Streetfighter motorbike.
TRANSPORT
HOBBIES
Any challenging sports. Has a
particular interest in
experimenting with
different, often extreme
forms of transport.
Has also once admitted to
stitching a kind of Bayeaux
tapestry of her own
adventures while at home.
EMPLOYMENT
Lara doesn't consider tomb raiding as a job,
merely a way of life - although she has been known to uncover
archeological artifacts on commission.
To fund her radical lifestyle, Lara writes travel books. Titles so far have
included 'A Tyrannosaurus is jawing at my head' and 'Slaying Bigfoot'.
Her common complaint though is that she doesn't have enough time to
put pen to paper.
AMBITIONS
With her unique physical abilities, Lara is certain of being able to break
many world athletic records and so sees no challenge in this herself. Her
main ambitions still lie in the undefined world of tombs and the past.
She has also however, developed a personal regard for Brian Blessed's
attempts to climb Everest. If he never succeeds, she is determined to
piggy-back him up there.
ACHIEVEMENTS
As well as uncovering many notorious archeological sites - including
the Atlantean pyramid and the last resting place of the dagger of Xian,
Lara has found fame in other areas… she has driven the dangerous
Alaskan Highway from Tierra del Fuego in
South America in record time (although this
was later denounced by the Guinness Book of
Records due to her ‘reckless driving’) and she
hit the headlines again when she hunted out
and killed Bigfoot in North America.
HEROES
All the great ancient figures who respected themselves enough to design
such intricate tombs to be buried in. ‘Nobody goes to trouble like that
anymore...’
LUCKY CHARM
Any gun at hand.
FEARS
Her Aunty’s Corgi which

has bitten her on several
occasions - about which,
for once, there is little
she can do.
FAVOURITE MUSIC/BAND
Lara was brought up to appreciate classical music but having been a
guest on U2's Popmart tour, has since become a fan of their music. She
has also been introduced to the sounds of Nine inch Nails by her Aunty
and considers it ‘good easy listening’. Finds trance music, in general,
good for training.
FAVOURITE FOODS
Despite being a proficient cook from her days at finishing school and
having sampled most of the exotic delicacies of the world, Lara usually
opts for beans on toast when at home.
