Lara Croft was just another archaeologist, searching for ruins and hidden treasures, when on an ordinary mission a mystical storm sank the research ship she was on and stranded the crew on the island of Yamatai. As she fought to survive against the wild and the natives, Lara became a true survivalist and an excellent explorer. After a long, arduous battle she was able to rescue her friend from the Solarii cult that lived on the island and vanquish the Sun Queen, allowing them all to leave. But even after departing, Lara could not quench her thirst for adventure, truly marking her transformation into the Tomb Raider.
