The beginning
The daughter of lord henshingly croft, lara was brought up in the secure world of aristocracy. Wanting for nothing, she was surrounded by servants, social events and high society.
Lara attended Wimbledon High School for Girls from the age of 11. Now that she was 16, her parents decided that Lara should broaden her education by studying for her A-levels at one of Englands most prominent boarding schools. An adventurous soul, Lara found the idea of being sent away from home an exiting prospect.
By chance one day Lara came across a copy of national Geographic on the hall table. The front cover featured a familiar name -Professor Von Croy. A respected archaeologist, Von Croy had once lectured at Lara's school to pupils and parents alike. The experience had a profound effect on Lara, triggering a desire for travel to remote locations in search of adventure. In some ways Von Croy had become an inspirational figure for Lara.
As Lara read further, she learned that Von Croy was currently prepairing for an archaeological tour across Asia, culminating in a new potencial new discovery to be made in Cambodia. Unable to contain herself, Lara burst into the room, thrust the article in front of her parents and without hesitation demanded she acompany Von Croy on his expedition. Lord Croft could hardly dissagree that travel was an education in itself.
As Lara argued the case further, he found himself walking over to the desk and penning a letter to Von Croy, introducing himself as an influencial society figure and offering financial assistance in exchange for his daughters place on the expedition. Von Croy's reply assured the Henshingly Crofts that the territories were friendly and that he had ample experience to look after both his and Lara's well being. Lara's company as an assistant would be welcome, as was the offer of such a generous check. He remembered Lara from his lecture -her incessant yet insightful questions had made quite an impression upon him.
And so it was agreed by all that Lara would acompany Von Croy for the duration of the tour...
