Lara's past
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.

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.

Two weeks later, when she walked into a mountain village, her experiences
had had a profound effect on her. 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.

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.

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.

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..
