:: 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.
