“A famous explorer once said that ‘the extraordinary is in what we do, not who we are.’”
―Lara Croft (Tomb Raider 2013)
Lara Croft is an English archaeologist and the main protagonist in Crystal Dynamics second reboot timeline, starting with Tomb Raider.
Unlike the other timelines, this version of Lara is portrayed as being younger and much less experienced, the major focus of the story is her development from frightened young girl, to hardened survivor, ultimately leading to her, accepting her destiny, as the Tomb Raider.
In her first adventure, Lara Croft was forged into a true survivor, but she glimpsed a deeper, secret world. In the next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival skills and wits and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider.
After she encountered an immortal being, Lara spent a year researching eternal life to both understand and prove what she saw. This research leads on her on a quest to find Kitezh, a mythical city both founded and lost in what is now Russia’s Siberian tundra.
