Lara Croft is the protagonist of Eidos' Tomb Raider series. Designed by Toby Gard, the heroine of the video game series has also been featured in movies, comic books, novels, and a series of animated shorts. In the two movies, she is portrayed by Angelina Jolie. In 2006, Lara was honored with a star on the Walk of Game, and was awarded a Guinness World Record recognizing her as the "most successful human video game heroine."
Lara is generally presented as an intelligent, athletic, and somewhat reckless English woman of noble birth who travels the world in pursuit of priceless artifacts. Known as both an archaeologist and an adventurer, she frequently ventures into ancient, and often very dangerous, tombs and ruins. In addition to traps and puzzles, Lara encounters a variety of enemies including rivals, gangsters, dangerous animals (including dinosaurs), legendary creatures, and supernatural beings. The fantastic nature of her archaeology related adventures have drawn comparisons to Indiana Jones.

Lara Croft was born on February 14, 1968, in Wimbledon, London. The daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, Lara was brought up in the secure world of aristocracy, surrounded by luxury and wealth. From the ages of 3 to 11 she received private tutoring at home, later moving on to Wimbledon Private School in London.
At the age of 16, Lara then moved on to the renowned school of Gordonstoun in Scotland, where she developed a love of rock climbing, often escaping into the hills during netball practice. One day at Gordonstoun, Lara came across a familiar name; renowned archaeologist Werner Von Croy on the cover of National Geographic on the hall table, who had previously lectured Lara at Wimbledon. sparking an interest in archaeology. Upon hearing of a Cambodian expedition to Angkor Wat, Lara insisted that her parents allow her to accompany Von Croy. Lara's father, agreeing it would be beneficial to her educationally, contacted Von Croy and arranged for Lara to join the expedition. The expedition left Lara passionate about archaeology and became an inspiration for her future pursuits. The expedition ended in disaster, when Von Croy's carelessness and arrogance triggered a trap resulting in him being sealed inside a tomb. Lara was forced to leave him in order to avoid the same fate. Von Croy survived, but the incident caused a grudge between them that lasts for years.
By the time Lara was 21, she had graduated from her finishing school in Switzerland. Lara's parents then soon decided she would be betrothed to the Earl of Farringdon, assuring she would be married into aristocracy. During her time in Switzerland, Lara had taken an interest in extreme skiing and spent a holiday in the Himalayas to pursue this. On the return trip, her chartered plane crashed deep within the heart of the mountain range. Lara was the sole survivor.
Lara spent two weeks wandering alone through the Himalayas before walking into the remote Tibetan village of Tokakeriby. Her harrowing experience has a profound effect on her. No longer able to tolerate the atmosphere of upper-class British society, she placed a new value on being able to travel alone. In the following years, she would travel across the globe in search of artifacts and adventure, gaining a considerable knowledge of ancient civilizations and archaeology.
Due to Lara's refusal to marry the Earl of Farrington, her parents disowned her. Because of this, Lara began writing books about her adventures to help finance her trips.
Some time ago, Lara inherited a mansion in Surrey, England from a relative. She uses this location for storing artifacts, training, and as her residence when not traveling.
