Early Life
Lara Croft was born in Surrey's Parkside hospital and raised in Surrey, England. From age 3 to 6 Lara attended the Abbingdon Girls School.
Plane Crash (Age 9)
At the age of nine, Lara and her mother were in the Crofts' private yet over the Himalayas when lightning struck the engines and caused the plane to crash land. Her mother and Lara were the only survivors at the time. When exploring a nearby temple, Lara inadvertently triggered a mysterious portal, to - as we later find out - the past, by touching a sword. Lara's mother, misunderstanding the person on the other side - Amanda Evert, who was, in the future, talking to Lara - pulled out the sword and vanished to supposedly Avalon. Lara, then alone, walked to Katmandu, to escape the horrors of the plane crash.
After the loss of her mother, Lara received private tutoring, part of it from her father, who took her on some of his expeditions.
Father's Death
Lara suffered another tragic loss at the age of 15, when her father went missing, presumed dead.
