Lara Croft is the main protagonist of
Eidos Interactive's
Tomb Raider video game series. Designed by Toby Gard, she has also been featured in movies (in which she was portrayed by Angelina Jolie), comic books, novels, and a series of animated short films.
Lara is generally presented as an intelligent, athletic, and fearless Englishwoman, daughter of Lord Croft who travels around the world in pursuit of priceless artifacts. She has two known jobs: archaeologist and adventurer and frequently goes to freaky tombs and ruins.
Lara plays with her life every minute!! She encounters a variety of enemies including rivals, gangsters, dangerous animals, legendary creatures, and supernatural beings. The female Indiana Jones!
She was raised as an aristocrat surrounded by wealth and luxury but when she was 21, she was the only survivor of a plane crash in the Himalayas and was forced to rely on her cleverness to stay alive.
The incident changed her, and inspired her to give up her life of comfort and security in favour of travelling around the world alone.
Lara's trademark costume consists of a blue-green sleeveless shirt, light brown shorts, calf-high boots, white socks, fingerless gloves, a small backpack, a utility belt and'her famous guns. In most games, Lara's default weapon is a pair of dual semi-automatic pistols.
Through the episodes, she will evolve from a dark and cold-blooded woman to a respectful person who is more open emotionally, and is also shown as more feminine. Lara portrays a highly confident, independent, and strong person that every woman wants to be!! Or male wants to be...with???
