Biography
Lara Croft was the only child born to Richard Henshingly Croft, 10th Earl of Abbingdon and his wife, Amelia Croft, Countess of Abbingdon. She was tutored privately at the Croft estate until the age of 11, when she attended a private school for girls. She traveled with her parents on many of their archaeological expeiditions while she was young. She was not with them when they disappeared and were presumed dead on one such trip. She then attended UC London, while in a difficult dispute with relatives over her family fortune and lands. She would eventually win the dispute, but not before she was shipwrecked at the age of 21 on an island in the Dragon's Triangle. There she became a true survivor, fighting hostile madmen, worshippers of a mythical goddess, and finding many artifacts. Since then she's made many discoveries as an explorer, and her contributions to archeology and historical societies have been priceless. She is now residing in Gotham City as a base of operations to avoid heat from some rivals back in England.

| Fluent in English, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Japanese, Latin, Arabic, French, Sanskrit, Hieroglyphics, Ancient Greek, Old Norse |
| Stealth |
| Sneak sneak sneak. One learns how to be quiet when raiding tombs. She is as good as a cat burglar in the stealth department. |
| Armed Combat |
| Lara is skilled in the use of knives, clubs, axes, spears, and the rapier (the latter due to fencing lessons growing up). She can hold her own in a fight against the average combatant or thug. |
| Tracking |
| Lara can track with the best of them. She's had to, to survive islands full of dangerous critters and more dangerous people. Provided the terrain would leave signs of passage, she can follow a trail. |
| Unarmed Combat |
| Lara is an above average unarmed combatant. She isn't particularly a martial artists, more of a kick boxer. |
| Piloting |

| Insanely Rich |
| Lara is the sole heir to the Croft fortune. She has massive collections of ancient artifacts securely kept around the world, and money is not much of an object. She's up there with the Bruce Wayne's of the world, just the Brit version. |
| Dual Intent Visa |

| Gotham Mansion |
| For game purposes, Lara is staying in Gotham City in a home she has there. It's equipped for her needs, and has a few servants. |
| Tomb Raider |
| Poking through ancient burial places, dead societies, and mythical cities is dangerous work. It also makes a LOT of enemies, from rival raiders, to local authorities, to criminal enterprises who want to get their hands on artifacts for sinister purposes. |
| No Secret Identity |
| Lara Croft is a world renowned explorer and archaeologist. She is a celebrity of sorts, and that makes it hard to keep her private life private. |
| Obsessed Orphan |
| Lara's parents died on an expedition when she was young. She has been obsessed with finding out what happened to them ever since. She has no family to rely on, so eventually she will be under pressure to carry on the Croft name and provide an heir to the family fortune. |
| Disastrous Love Life |
| It seems every time Lara finds a man she could love, they end up betraying her, or getting killed. It really sucks, and makes her hesitant to let men get close. |
| Honor |
| Lara is someone who is bound to her word when she gives it. Sadly, not everyone she gives it to is equally honorable. |
| Risk-taker |
| The woman leaps across gaps with the risk of falling to her death like it's a game. (See what I did there?) She is fearless, and that is not always a good thing, especially in the face of enhanced, empowered, or supernatural foes. |
