:: Education ::
Private Tutoring (ages: 3 - 11)
Wimbledon High School for Girls (ages: 11 - 16)
Gordonstoun Boarding School (ages: 16 - 18)
Swiss Finishing School (ages: 18 - 21)
:: Sports ::
Lara Croft is not much of a team player. She discovered rock climbing
while at Gordonstoun and used to set off into the hills alone during
netball practice. Also took up shooting as an extra-curricular activity
but was instantly banned for showing "too keen an interest".
However, the strength that climbing gave her fingers was to become
useful when she started pulling triggers for real.
:: 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.
:: Achievements ::
As well as uncovering many notorious archeological sites 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.
:: Discoveries ::
1995 - The Ark of the Covenant, the chest that held the Ten Commandments
1996 - The Scion, a mysterious object from the lost continent of
Atlantis
1997 - The Dagger of Xian, a magical blade from China that will
give the bearer the power of a dragon
1998 - Lara's current adventure has her searching for the scattered
remains of an age-old meteorite that supposedly holds the secrets
to unlocking information about genetics, possibly the future of
the human race!
1999 - The Golden Mask, rumored to have the power of reanimation.
:: Favorite Films ::
Deliverance Aguirre, Wrath of God.
:: Favorite Music ::
Lara was brought up to appreciate classical music but having been
a guest on U2's Popmart tour, has since become a fan of their music.
She has also been introduced to the sounds of Nine inch Nails by
her Aunty and considers it "good easy listening". Finds
trance music, in general, good for training.
:: Favorite Food ::
Despite being a proficient cook from her days at finishing school
and having sampled most of the exotic delicacies of the world, Lara
usually opts for beans on toast when at home.
:: Favorite Transport ::
A Norton Streetfighter motorbike.
:: Hobbies ::
Any challenging sports. Has a particular interest in experimenting
with different, often extreme forms of transport. Has also once
admitted to stitching a kind of Bayeaux tapestry of her own adventures
while at home.
:: Ambitions ::
With her unique physical abilities, Lara is certain of being able
to break many world athletic records and so sees no challenge in
this herself. Her main ambitions still lie in the undefined world
of tombs and the past. She has also however, developed a personal
regard for Brian Blessed's attempts to climb Everest. If he never
succeeds, she is determined to piggyback him up there.
:: Heroes ::
All the great ancient figures who respected themselves enough to
design such intricate tombs to be buried in. "Nobody goes to
trouble like that anymore..."
:: Fears ::
Her Auntie's Corgi, which has bitten her on several occasions -
about which, for once, there is little, she can do.
:: Lucky Charm ::
Any gun at hand.
