Lara's Stats & Background | |
Digital Danger Girl recently had the great pleasure of being granted an interview with our favorite heroine. This is some of what Lady Lara had to say, in her own words.
BACKGROUND
Employment:
I don't consider tomb raiding
as a job, merely a way of life - although I have been known to uncover
archeological artifacts on commission. To fund my lifestyle, I've written
travel books. Titles so far have included 'A Tyrannosaurus is jawing at
my head' and 'Slaying Bigfoot'. My common complaint though is that she
doesn't have enough time to put pen to paper.
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.
Discoveries:
Ark of The Covenant (1995), Atlantis Scion (1996), Dagger of Xian and
the Golden Mask of Tornarsuk (1997), The Meteorite (1998)
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERSONAL
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.
Favorite
Films:
Deliverance Aguirre, Wrath of God
Favorite
Music:
I was brought up to appreciate classical music but having been a guest on U2's Popmart tour, I've since become a fan of their music. I've also been introduced to the sounds of Nine inch Nails by my Aunty and considers it "good easy listening". Find trance music, in general, is good for training.
Favorite
Food:
Despite being a proficient cook from my days at finishing school and having sampled most of the exotic delicacies of the world, I usually opt for beans on toast when at home - delish!
Favorite
Transport:
My Norton Streetfighter motorbike.
Hobbies:
The usual lot - karate, kick boxing, tai kwondo, ju jitsu, cliff diving,
free diving, and meditation for alternate planes of being. 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.
Fears:
Aunty's Corgi
which has bitten me on several occasions - about which, for once, there
is little I can do.
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.
Ambition:
I've been told that
with my unique physical abilities, I'm certain of being able to break
many world athletic records and so see no challenge in this myself. My
main ambitions still lie in the undefined world of tombs and the past.
However, I've developed a personal regard for Brian Blessed's attempts to climb Everest. If he never succeeds, I'm determined to piggy-back him up there.
Lucky Charm:
Any gun at hand.
