Lady Lara Croft is an 11th generation Countess. The Croft family was granted the title and rights to Abbingdon, Surrey by King Edward VI in 1547. The Croft Estates are comprised of three separate manor houses, two of which are maintained by the National Trust, and the third is home to Lady Croft.

Lady Croft herself has suffered several personal tragedies, including the deaths of both parents on separate occasions before she came of age. Reputably an accredited genius and Olympic-standard gymnast, Lady Croft is the focus of wild speculation and intense debate in both the scientific and political communities in addition to the popular press. Idealized and vilified in equal measure, she is perhaps one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of our time.

Personal History

Lara Croft was born in Surrey's Parkside hospital to Lady Amelia Croft and the notorious archeologist Lord Richard Croft, the late Earl of Abbingdon. Between the ages of three and six, she attended the Abbingdon Girls School, where it quickly became clear that she was an exceptionally gifted child. At the age of nine she survived a plane crash in the Himalayas that took the life of her mother. In perhaps the first story of her prodigious indomitability, she somehow survived a solo ten-day trek across the Himalayan mountains, one of the most hostile environments on the planet. The story goes that when she arrived in Katmandu she went to the nearest bar and made a polite telephone call to her father asking if it would be convenient for him to come and pick her up.

For six years following the plane crash, Lara rarely left her father's side, traveling around the world from one archeological dig site to another. During this period she was ostensibly given a standard education from private tutors, but it would probably be more accurate to say she was her father's full time apprentice.

When Lara was fifteen, her father went missing in Cambodia. Extensive searches by the authorities and Lara herself turned up human remains that could not definitively be identified. Since Lord Croft's body was not officially recovered, Lara could not directly inherit the Croft title and Lara was thrust into a bitter family feud over control of the Abbingdon estates with her uncle Lord Errol Croft. Lara eventually won the legal battle, and took possession of her inheritance but at the cost of a deep rift in the Croft family that left her estranged from her living relatives.

Professional History

Lady Lara Croft has already eclipsed her father's career; as of this writing she is credited with the discovery of some fifteen archeological sites of international significance. These sites are still yielding new and exciting insights to the past on an ongoing basis. No one can deny Lady Croft's incredible contribution to the field of archeology, however she is not without her detractors.

Lara's methods have been frequently called into question by government officials and other practicing archeologists. She has been described variously as anything from cavalier to downright irresponsible. Some scholars have suggested that her notorious lack of documentation and brute force methodology have contaminated countless sites and done more harm than good. There have even been (unsubstantiated) allegations that Lara actually takes items from these sites before informing the international community of their locations, and that she is nothing more than a glorified treasure hunter.

Summary

Despite the tabloid press's infatuation with her, Lara Croft guards her privacy with complete determination. She has never granted an interview nor made any personal comment to any of the rumors associated with her, preferring to express herself through brief formal statements given by the family solicitors, Hardgraves and Moore.

Predictably there have been a number of unofficial biographies printed about the young Countess, that attribute wild and fantastic feats to her exploits, ranging from the discovery of living dinosaurs in the Congo to infiltrating the infamous Area 51 in Nevada. The official line from the Croft Estate to these works is simply that "...these books are utter rot: disgraceful, trashy works of total fiction."

Nevertheless if you even make a cursory search on the Internet for the Unexplained, the Mysterious and the Downright Unbelievable, time and again you will find Lara Croft's name appearing. She appears to be a hero to conspiracy theorists and alternate history aficionados alike.

It seems the further you dig into Lady Croft's life, the more bewildering and mysterious she becomes. Perhaps like the archeological sites she discovers, we have only scratched the surface of this incredible woman and the complex and inscrutable secrets buried deep within her.

不死傳奇:新背景設定
蘿拉卡芙特女士繼承第十一代女伯爵。在西元 1547 年時,由愛德華親王六世 (King Edward VI ) 冊封卡芙特家族在薩里郡阿賓頓 (Abbingdon, Surrey) 的所有權。而卡芙特家族的地產被分為三塊領地,其中兩塊由英國國民託管組織 (National Trust) 負責,第三塊則為蘿拉卡芙特女士的宅邸。

卡芙特女士長期以來深陷家庭悲痛,皆因雙親在她尚未成年前相繼辭世。蘿拉女士是舉世公認的英才與傑出的運動員,無論是科學界、政治界,甚至是大眾輿論,她一直都是大家熱切討論的焦點。由於兩極化的評價,造就她成為現在最迷人卻也最難以捉摸的人物之一吧!

蘿拉卡芙特生於薩里郡園邊醫院 (Parkside hospital),母親是艾蜜莉亞卡芙特 (Amelia Croft) 女士,而父親是阿賓頓新任伯爵卻也是惡名昭彰的考古學家理查卡芙特 (Richard Croft) 閣下。在她三至六歲就讀阿賓頓女子學校期間,很快地就展露出她天賦異稟的資質。

蘿拉九歲那年,她在喜馬拉雅山的空難中倖存,但母親卻難逃死神的魔掌。然而她卻花了十天,獨自越過這地球上最艱難的環境之一:喜馬拉雅山脈,也許這就是她首次展現驚人毅力的故事。故事依然延續,當她到達加德滿都後走進最近的酒吧,不疾不徐地打了一通電話給父親,請父親親自去接她。

在飛機失事後,接下來的六年裡,蘿拉很少陪在父親的身邊。因為她總是環遊全世界,從一個考古學站點又飛到另一站。在這期間,她表面上是個從事教育工作的私人導師,但實際上她根本就是父親的接班人。

當蘿拉十五歲的時候,父親在柬埔寨失蹤了,除了該國當局廣泛的協助搜查外。蘿拉她自己也發現了骨骸,可惜身分無法被驗證。因此卡芙特先生的屍體一直不能被正式的找到,蘿拉也就不能直接繼承家產,還與它的伯父艾羅爾卡芙特 (Errol Croft) 伯爵陷入阿賓頓的所有權之爭。但蘿拉最後還是贏得了法律之爭而持有了繼承權,但卻也造成與親屬之間的絕裂與疏遠。

蘿拉的成就已經超越了她的父親,她發現了十五個在世界上極具重要的考古據點,這些考古據點至今都還有驚人的發現,沒有人可以否定蘿拉卡芙特在考古學上重大的貢獻,然而還是有惡言批評她的人。
