Lara was independent and outgoing at school, always preferring individual to team sports. While at Gordonstoun, she excelled at rock climbing, canoeing, horseback riding, and archery. A natural athlete, she discovered a passion for firearms but was discouraged by the school authorities. Later, in her Swiss Finishing school, she further developed her interest in firearms by charming her way onto the Swiss Armed Forces training range, where she proved to be a natural and qualified markswoman. Later in life she felt drawn to fast vehicles and any form of extreme sports, "just to keep me trim."
As the daughter of Lord Heshingly Croft, Lara was used to the security of an aristocratic background. Predictably, she rebelled against the more confining aspects of her upbringing, and when she moved to Gordonstoun in 1984, the mountains of Scotland gave her an unprecedented degree of freedom. Her world changed further when she came across the work of Professor Von Croy and heard him lecture about his achaeological career. The experience had a profound effect on Lara, triggering a passion for remote locations and adventure.
Lara discovered that Von Croy was preparing for an archaeological expedition to Asia and persuaded her parents to let her accompany him. Von Croy was convinced after being promised financial assistance for the expedition. He was also impressed by the young amazon's enthusiasm and energy. She could obviously take care of herself, and the experience would be a unique and educational opportunity.
This expedition set the pattern for the rest of her life. For the first time, she experienced the hazards and mysteries of the ancient world of antiquities. Terrifying dangers became an accepted part of her life. In the intervening years, she has combated ancient mythical forces, survived a Himalayan plane crash, and outgunned heavily armed opponents, always emerging with the prize.
Despite inheriting the Croft mansion in Surrey, Lara lives the same way she prefers to work--alone. In her rambling home she has installed a custom-built assault course and shooting range. With her unique physical abilities, Lara could break many world athletic records, but sees no challenge in this for herself. It lacks the necessary ingredient of danger.
The huge rooms of the mansion are useful for storing the many artifacts she has acquired in her adventures. There is also adequate space for her favorite vehicles. Anything on two wheels and over 650ccs is considered acceptable, but she finds both the Triumph Speed Triple and the Harlely V-Rod especially attractive.
Apart form her achaeological successes, Lara is proud of her achievements in other areas, too. She drove the dangerous Alaskan Highway from Tierra del Fuego in record time. This escapade resulted in worldwide headlines confirming the opinion of the established antiquities community that she was a loose cannon. She loves this profile, but generally shuns the media spotlight, as it interferes with her tomb-raiding activities.
