Well this is a tomb, I'll make them feel at home.
~ Lara Croft

Summary

At the age of nine, Lara survived a plane crash in the Himalayan mountains that resulted in the death of her mother. After miraculously surviving a ten-day solo trek from the crash site to Katmandu, she spent the rest of her childhood under the close tutelage of her Archaeologist father - the late Earl of Abbingdon, Richard Croft.

At the age of eighteen, after the death of her father, Lara inherited the Croft estates and became Countess of Abbingdon. Since then, she has been credited with the discovery of some sixteen archaeological sites of international significance.

She has been hailed both as an Archaeological Wunderkind and a glorified Treasure Hunter, depending on whom you listen to. There are thousands of rumors surrounding Lady Croft's exploits, invariably involving the unexplained or outright unbelievable. Lady Croft herself is, unfortunately, never available for comment, which further adds to the veil of mystery that surrounds her life and work.

Consequently, Lady Croft continues to be the focus of wild speculations and intense debate. Idealized and vilified in equal measure, she is perhaps one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of our times.

  • PDA: The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Lara carries in Tomb Raider: Legend takes over most functions of the Inventory. Lara can not only check out her gear there, but she can also store and read messages and mission details. Descriptions of the gear she carries are displayed, as well as the layout of Croft Manor.

  • Excalibur: one of several powerful artifacts that can be used to open gateways to the underworld, or as a weapon.
  • Ghalali Key: Mythical artifact in Tomb Raider: Legend. It is not part of the Excalibur sword, but it is a key artifact in reforging the sword in case it is broken.
  • Lancelot's Shield
  • Thor's Gauntlets: Also known as Járngreipr, are enchanted gauntlets formerly owned by the Norse God of Thunder, Thor.
    They are key to the plot of Tomb Raider: Underworld.
    The gauntlet's increase the wearer's strength, allowing them to lift several times their own weight with ease, although individually their power is limited and requires charging.
    Both gauntlets are needed along with Thor's Belt to lift Thor's legendary Hammer, Mjölnir.
  • Thor's Belt: Also known as Megingjörð, is a power source to Thor's Gauntlets. Lara Croft followed her father's notes to Xibalba, Mexico in search of the belt.
    The belt is needed to use Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir.
  • Mjölnir: Also Mjǫlnir, Mjollnir, jölner or Mjølner, is the hammer of Thor, the Norse god of thunder.
    Lara Croft sought the hammer in Tomb Raider: Underworld.
  • Eitr Stone: Used to control the thralls with the carved words, "Okh Eshivar," on it. It also can turn regular water into Eitr.

Intelligence: Gifted. She possesses a fantastical amount of knowledge relating to ancient civilizations, cultures, creatures, and artifacts, many of which she discovered by herself in her comparatively short time as a treasure hunter. Her resourcefulness and superior intellect have always been a key factor in searching for untold riches beyond human comprehension

Weaknesses: She is very reckless

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Mjölnir
  • Weight: Despite its small size, Mjölnir is incredibly dense and heavy, one swing is capable of shattering glass that was strong enough to even keep Natla contained, and shatter massive stone structures.
    • The hammer is so heavy, it can only be lifted by someone who has acquired the gauntlets and belt.
  • Electricity Manipulation: Mjölnir could summon lightning on command, powerful enough to send an average man flying, or fell the largest of trolls with ease.
  • Opening Underworld: Mjölnir could be used to gain entry into any of the Underworld, being shown to open Helheim.
  • Slaying Monsters: Mjölnir is one of the most deadly weapons ever constructed, being capable of killing giants and even the Midgard Serpent. Even Natla was afraid of what this weapon could do, as she cowered when Lara was about to swing for her, bearing in mind, Natla's could shrug off gunshots as though they were nothing.

Explanations

Lara is shown to possess abilities far beyond that of even a peak human being. She is extremely athletic, using her amazing acrobatics to scale tall structures and can perform flips and somersaults after jumping several meters in the air. She has excellent balance and coordination, as she regularly lands on thin ledges, sometimes with her hands.

Lara is known for being extremely fast and agile.

Lara is incredibly strong. She can lift and push boulders that weigh several dozen tons with no effort at all. She has enough leg strength to jump several meters in the air and several meters across and could likely jump even higher distances.

Lara is also brilliant. She possesses a fantastical amount of knowledge relating to ancient civilizations, cultures, creatures, and artifacts, many of which she discovered by herself in her comparatively short time as a treasure hunter. Her resourcefulness and superior intellect have always been a key factor in searching for untold riches beyond human comprehension.

Like the original Timeline, Lara is a very talented marksman. Lara's primary weapons are her dual Pistols. However, she is very capable of using Shotguns, Assault Rifles, Submachine Guns, and Spear Guns.

Combined with her gymnastics and marksmanship, Lara makes an exceptionally skilled martial artist and combatant, usually managing to take down multiple enemies effortlessly.
