Lara Croft is a fictional character and the protagonist
of Eidos Interactive's Tomb Raider video game series.
Designed by Toby Gard, she has also been featured in movies (in
which she was portrayed by Angelina Jolie), comic books, novels,
and a series of animated short films. In 2006, Lara was honoured
with a star on the Walk of Game, and was awarded a Guinness World
Record recognising her as the "most successful human video game
heroine." In 2008, she was named second on Gamefly's List of
Hottest Chicks Ever.In late 2008, MSN held a poll of who was the
most Iconic video game character, in which Lara came 3rd but
actually drew with Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Lara is generally presented as a beautiful, intelligent,
athletic, and somewhat reckless English woman of noble birth who
travels the world in pursuit of priceless artefacts. Known as both
an archaeologist and an adventurer, she frequently ventures into
ancient, and often very hazardous, tombs and ruins. In addition to
traps and puzzles, Lara encounters a variety of enemies including
rivals, gangsters, dangerous animals (including dinosaurs),
legendary creatures, and supernatural beings. The fantastic nature
of her archaeology related adventures have drawn comparisons to
Indiana Jones.
Development
Initially, designer Toby Gard focused on creating the settings
for Tomb Raider and the main character was essentially an
Indiana Jones clone. When this character was deemed unacceptable,
Gard placed his attention on designing a new one. One factor that
influenced Gard to use a female character was that he noticed his
male co-workers often preferred using female characters in
Virtua Fighter, this idea to make the character a female was
also kept as it was felt solving puzzles and exploration was more
suited to a female character rather than a traditional male action
hero. The redesigned character was initially a South American woman
named Laura Cruz. She eventually evolved into an English woman
named Lara Croft. Her surname was picked from a phone book for
sounding "UK friendly", while the name "Lara" was chosen to appeal
to American audiences.Toby Gard has stated that he created Lara to
counter stereotypical female game characters, saying he felt they
were mostly "bimbos" or "dominatrix" types at that time. Lara was
originally going to be very militaristic and cold-blooded. In 2006,
it was announced that Lara's large breast size and curves would be
slightly reduced after Gard and fans felt that her appearance was
being used too much to advertise the series and felt it was
detrimental to the character's "tough as nails" persona.
Characteristics
Personality
Lara is consistently depicted as a highly confident,
independent, and headstrong person. She is also very brave, rarely
showing any sign of fear in very dangerous or lethal situations. In
Legend, she is also shown to have a love for dizzying
heights and dangerous ancient traps, much to the dismay of Zip and
Alister. In Anniversary (a remake of the first game), what
is implied to be her first human kill is portrayed, and she is
visibly disturbed by the incident throughout the rest of the game.
In Tomb Raider: Legend, human beings are the most common
enemies Lara encounters, and it is necessary to fight many of them
to progress. Lara's current voice actor described the character as
"strong and powerful" but as having an "edge" to her.
Physical
Appearance
Lara Croft is depicted as a young, athletic woman of white
British descent. She has brown eyes and long brown hair that is
often in a plait and sometimes in a ponytail.The timeline given in
the Angel of Darkness companion book lists Lara's birthday
as February 14, 1968. However, Eric Lindstrom stated in a BBC
interview that Lara is "6 months younger than James Bond", she
"transcends time [and] space", and "has her own world".
Lara's classic costume consists of a blue/green sleeveless
shirt, light brown shorts, calf-high boots, long white socks,
fingerless gloves, a small backpack, and a utility belt with two
holsters. This outfit (or a close variation) has appeared in nearly
every Tomb Raider game to date. Lara may also wear different
outfits through the course of the games, such as a wet suit for a
watery environment or trousers and a jacket for a colder area. In
Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, Lara wears a black
sleeveless shirt and camouflage cargo pants or shorts. In Tomb
Raider: Legend, her original shirt is replaced with a
light-brown short sleeved shirt (though the original is still
unlockable and appears in a flashback). Her costume is shown to
have changed again in Tomb Raider: Underworld, as she now
wears a brown and black halter top with green and black shorts.
Weapons and
equipment
Lara's typical armament consists of matching handguns. Lara's
most recent equipment in terms of handguns seem to be the Heckler
and Koch .45 USP Match. In every game, her handguns have unlimited
ammunition (the only exception being The Angel of Darkness) but
starting with Tomb Raider: Legend, they must be reloaded
when the magazines empty. Lara has handled many other weapons
throughout the series as well, such as shotguns, uzis and often
more powerful pistols, such as magnums. Lara has also used
explosives. In earlier games Lara had an unlockable grenade
launcher, while in Tomb Raider: Legend she simply throws
grenades. In Tomb Raider: Underworld her grenades are replaced with
sticky bombs. Additional equipment she has used includes several
types of grapple hooks, a shoulder mounted utility light, a digital
video camera, and a PDA, which has sonar mapping technology in
Underworld.
Appearances, Video games,
1996-1999
Lara Croft artwork from Tomb Raider III.
Lara Croft first appeared in the 1996 video game Tomb
Raider, in which she was voiced by Shelley Blond. The game
manual introduces Lara as the daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft. At
the age of 21, Lara was the sole survivor of a plane crash in the
Himalayas. The incident inspired her to travel around the world
alone, in search of ancient civilisations and artefacts. This led
to her being disowned by her parents and she became a writer to
fund her trips, although this back story has never been mentioned
in games. The game itself follows Lara's search for an artefact
known as the Atlantean Scion, and her encounter Jacqueline Natla,
an ancient ruler of Atlantis whose use of the Scion would put the
world in danger.
Following the success of Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider
II was released in 1997 and featured Judith Gibbins as the
voice of Lara.Tomb Raider II centres around Lara's search
for the Dagger of Xian, an artefact loosely based on Chinese
mythology. During her search, Lara is faced with a cult who are
obsessed with using the artefact's power to their own ends. Lara's
in-game model was updated as Lara now had a visible ponytail.
Judith Gibbins reprised the role of Lara in 1998's Tomb
Raider III. In Tomb Raider III Lara searches for
fragments of a meteorite which struck the earth millions of years
ago. The fragments offer their possessor strange powers, and became
artefacts associated with various cultures' myths.
In 1998 and 1999, three expansion packs were released that
expanded the gameplay of Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II,
and Tomb Raider III. The first, entitled Tomb Raider:
Unfinished Business (Tomb Raider Gold in North America),
continued the story of Tomb Raider, showing Lara escaping
the Great Pyramid and then returning to Egypt. Tomb Raider II:
The Golden Mask featured Lara searching for an artefact with
the power to resurrect its wearer. The third expansion pack, The
Lost Artefact continues the story of Tomb Raider III, as
Lara learns of and searches for a fifth meteor artefact called the
Hand of Rathmore.
1999-2003
Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, released in 1999,
featured Jonell Elliott,[41][42] who would also voice Lara Croft in
Chronicles and Angel of Darkness. The Last
Revelation expanded Lara's backstory by showing how, at the age
of 16, she accompanied a famous archaeologist named Werner Von Croy
on an expedition to Cambodia. The events there created a rift
between them, but also fostered Lara's interest in ancient
civilisations and artefacts.The game's present day events take
place in Egypt, where Lara searches for artefacts associated with
the god Horus so that she can defeat Set, who has possessed Von
Croy. Though Lara accomplishes her goals, she appears to fall to
her death in the game's surprise ending.
Lara also appeared in an extra level made for Tomb Raider: The
Last Revelation, known as the "Times Exclusive Level". The level
opens with Lara being hired by The Times newspaper to explore some
new passages found under Tutankhamun's tomb. Lara eventually finds
the passages lead to an altar where a Tutankhamun Golden Mask
rests.
In Tomb Raider Chronicles, released in 2000, Lara is
presumed to be dead throughout the course of the game. Because of
this, most of the game focuses on Lara's previously untold
adventures prior to The Last Revelation. These adventures
are presented as flashbacks, introduced by some of Lara's close
friends and mentors. The chapters feature Lara finding the
Philosopher's Stone in Rome, the Spear of Destiny in a Russian
submarine, helping in an exorcism as a teenager, and breaking into
a company building to steal an artefact known as the Iris. In the
game's present, Von Croy is shown to be searching for Lara in Egypt
but her fate is left unresolved.
In the 2003 game, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness,
Lara appears alive and well but the segment explaining her survival
was cut from the final game. A novelization of the events in
between The Last Revelation and Angel of Darkness was
also published by author Mike Resnik called Tomb Raider The
Amulet of Power. In which Lara is rescued beneath the ruins of
the collapsed pyramid.
The plot revolves around the Nephilim and an artefact created
for them. Lara is drawn into the search for this artefact when she
is wrongfully accused of murdering Von Croy. Angel of
Darkness also introduced Kurtis Trent, the first playable
character besides Lara in the series.
2006-present
Lara Croft, as she appears in Tomb Raider: Underworld.
Tomb Raider: Legend, released in 2006, featured Keeley
Hawes as the voice of Lara Croft.[12] Legend, like previous
games in the series, does not use the backstory provided in the
original game's instruction manual and even contradicts it.
Several flashback sequences in Legend depict a 9-year-old
Lara (voiced by Charlotte Asprey) surviving the plane crash in
Nepal with her mother, Amelia Croft. Amelia disappears after
pulling a sword from a stone dais. Lara then somehow managed to
survive a ten day journey to Kathmandu where she was able to
contact her father, Richard Croft. Lara spent the remainder of her
childhood under the care of her father, an archaeologist. At the
age of 18, when her father died under unknown circumstances, Lara
inherited the Croft estates along with the title "Countess of
Abbingdon."
In Legend's present, Lara is searching for a dais similar
to the one she and her mother found. Throughout the course of the
game Lara finds fragments of an artefact associated with Excalibur
of Arthurian legend. However she is faced by James Rutland and
Amanda Evert, an old friend Lara's who was believed to be dead. She
is successful in finding the entire artefact before them and opens
the portal at dais. She learns that her mother may still be alive
"in Avalon", and the game ends as Lara sets off to find answers
about this.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary, released in 2007, is a remake
of the first game in the series with Keeley Hawes reprising the
role of Lara. Anniversary makes numerous changes to the
original story, making it consistent with Lara's backstory as seen
in Legend. An early scene in Anniversary implies that
Lara had searched for the Atlantean Scion with her father, Richard,
who believed the artefact held answers about Amelia's
disappearance. Lara is forced to destroy the Scion before learning
if her father was right.
Lara appeared in the 2008 game Tomb Raider: Underworld.
Olympic gymnast and stunt woman, Heidi Moneymaker, provided Lara's
movements through motion capture, and Keeley Hawes returned to
voice Lara. In Underworld, Lara is searching for Thor's
hammer, Mjöllnir, and the truth about her mother's disappearance.
She first becomes aware of the hammer when she encounters
Jacqueline Natla, an old nemesis long thought to be dead. Natla
states that Lara's mother is in Helheim and Thor's hammer is needed
to enter. Lara travels the world and acquires Thor's gauntlets,
belt, and hammer. In Helhiem, beneath the Arctic Sea, Lara finds
her mother, Amelia, has been killed but her body remains animate
through the substance eitr, making her a thrall. Natla arrives and
explains that she was aware of Amelia's state, and used this
knowledge to manipulate Lara's father into working for her, but
killed him when he refused to cooperate. The game ends with Lara
defeating Natla who has been trying to bring about "the Seventh
Age" by using an ancient device in Helheim to disrupt the tectonic
plates. After destroying the device, Lara escapes with the help of
Amanda Evert. Underworld ends in Nepal, where Legend
began, with Lara saying a final goodbye to her mother.
In 2009, two downloadable levels were added on Xbox LIVE for
Underworld. Lara was the star of the first of these, which
is named Beneath the Ashes, in which Lara returned as the
main character. The level sees her explore dungeons underneath her
manor, and she discovers the "Eitr Stone", which can control the
thralls. Lara is then attacked by the doppelgänger, a creature
created by Natla, who resembles Lara and whose mission is to kill
her. However, Lara stops her by using the Eitr Stone and uses it to
set her free from Natla. The second level is named Lara's
Shadow and doesn't star Lara, but her doppelgänger, who takes
her revenge on Natla.
Handheld games
In 2000, Lara made her first appearance on a handheld game
console in a Game Boy Colour game simply entitled Tomb
Raider. Though it shares its title with the original Tomb
Raider, the story is unrelated and follows Lara's search for an
artefact known as the Nightmare Stone. This would be the first of
three Game Boy exclusive Tomb Raider games.
In 2001, Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword was released,
exclusively for the Game Boy Colour. The story sees Lara facing off
against a cult who plan to use her body to revive an evil
witch.
In 2002 the third and last Game Boy exclusive Tomb Raider game
was released, named Tomb Raider: The Prophecy.[58] In this game
Lara learns of an ancient prophecy which tells of three magical
stones which, when found, will unleash "The Great Grey One", who
will end the world. Lara fights to prevent this from happening, as
the game's antagonist, Teg-du-Bhorez, searches for the stones. Lara
defeats The Great Grey One in the final boss fight.
Lara has also appeared in Handheld versions of Legend,
Anniversary and Underworld. Her role in these games
is the same as their Home Console counterparts.
Other media
Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft.
Lara Croft's first major appearance outside of video games
occurred in 1999 with the launch of a Tomb Raider comic book
series by Top Cow Productions. Lara's backstory varied from the
then current Core Design games in that both of Lara's parents and
her fiancé (a character unique to the comics) died in the Himalayan
plane crash. Throughout the series, Lara encounters various
characters from other Top Cow comics, most frequently Sara Pezzini
of Witchblade.
In 2001, Lara was brought to life by actress Angelina Jolie for
the film Tomb Raider.In a flashback sequence, young Lara is
portrayed by Rachel Appleton. The film follows Lara's race against
time and Manfred Powell, the main antagonist, as well as his
mercenaries to find the Triangle of Light. This artefact is said to
give its owner the power of God. Lara finds the first piece of the
Triangle in Angkor Wat. Lara then travels to Siberia to aid the
Illuminati in finding the second piece, only to destroy it before
they can use it. The film also depicts Lara's father, Richard, who
was killed by Manfred Powell. For the film, Jolie had to learn her
own stunts as no stunt double was used for Lara during the film.
Jolie has been praised for her portrayal of Lara Croft, with Maxim
stating "Jolie makes a sensational action woman".
After the success of the first film, Jolie reprised the role of
Lara Croft in 2003, in Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. The
film sees Lara being hired by MI6 to find Pandora's Box before it
falls into the hands of the main antagonist. To help her, Lara
releases a friend named Terry Sheridan, who was imprisoned in
Kazakhstan. The two travel across the world, most notably China and
Africa to find the box before the main antagonist
does, who plans on using it to rule the world. In the film it is
implied that Lara served with the Royal Marines. This had
previously been alluded to in the first film, where a photograph
can be seen showing Lara at the centre of a small military unit.
The appearance of Terry Sheridan also marked a rare instance where
Lara is given a romantic interest, something the games generally
avoid. During the filming, Jolie overcame her fear of water when
filming a scene where Lara found a temple lost under the sea.
Angelina Jolie has expressed interest in portraying the
character in a third film.
In the 2007, Lara appeared in the Re\Visioned: Tomb Raider
Animated Series, a series of short animated films created for
GameTap TV. Lara was voiced by Minnie Driver in all 10
episodes.
Models
Alison Carroll, the current Lara Croft model
Lara has also been portrayed by various models for public
appearances and promotions. The first Lara Croft models appeared at
the European Computer Trade Show in 1996. The four models hired by
Eidos include Jordan (Katie Price), Nathalie Cook, and two
unidentified models. Nathalie Cook became better known for her
portrayal of Lara following appearances in PC Zone in 1996,
and The Mirror in 1997.
The next Lara model was Rhona Mitra, who portrayed the character
from 1997 to 1998. Nell McAndrew was the official Lara model from
1998 to 1999.McAndrew was immediately axed from her stint as Lara
in 1999 after posing nude in an issue of Playboy. Though she
was not posing as the character, Playboy printed references
to Lara Croft and Tomb Raider on the cover (which were
quickly removed when Eidos threatened with a lawsuit).
After dismissing Nell McAndrew, Eidos hired Lara Weller, who was
the official Lara model from 1999 to 2000. Lucy Clarkson was the
official Lara model from 2000 to 2002.Clarkson was the youngest
official model, as she was only 17 years old when she was first
hired. The next official Lara model was Jill de Jong, who portrayed
the character from 2002 to 2004.
From February 2006, the model role was played by a previously
unknown sales assistant from London, Karima Adebibe, then aged
20.Her last official appearance as Lara was in 2008.
In May 2007, Nell McAndrew, Lara Weller, Lucy Clarkson, Jill de
Jong, and Karima Adebibe were united for a photo shoot by
FHM to celebrate the release of Tomb Raider:
Anniversary. On 11 August 2008, Alison Carroll was revealed as
the new promotional face of Lara Croft and she is the current
official model. Carroll is noted for her background in
gymnastics.
There have also been Lara Croft models hired to promote Tomb
Raider in specific regions. These include Vanessa Demouy, hired
in 1997 by a French video game magazine for a photoshoot, and Ellen
Rocche,hired in 2000 by the Brazilian distributor of Eidos' games
to promote The Lost Artifact.
Reception Popularity and
Cultural Impact
Lara Croft is considered by critics and fans alike as one of the
most significant game characters in popular culture,and the most
famous female video-game character, as listed by The Guinness Book
of World Records. She was also voted the third most iconic video
game character in an MSN poll held in late 2008, although she
actually drew with Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog who were listed as
coming second and first. Lara appeared in many "Lucozade"
advertisements during the late 90s, and was the cover girl for
popular style magazine The Face in 1997. In addition, writer
Douglas Coupland dedicated a book to her, simply called "Lara's
Book", which analysis the effect of her on pop culture.
Lara made a guest appearance during U2's PopMart Tour and
appeared in a music video by the German punk band Die Ärzte.She has
also been featured in SEAT car commercials,and three G4
commercials. In all of these appearances, Lara was represented by
computer animation. Lara also appeared in a Visa commercial which
featured a live-action Lara, portrayed by Sofia Vergara,
interacting with her in-game counterpart. The website Education
City parodies Lara Croft in a series of games starring "Klara
Loft".
Lara is the subject of a song, "Amami Lara" (Love me
Lara) by the Italian songwriter Eugenio Finardi. The song was
presented during the 1999 edition of the Festival della canzone
italiana in Sanremo.
Roger Burchill of PlayStation: The Official Magazine said
if he had to choose between Lara Croft and Tyris Flare, he would go
with Lara."Playstation: The Official Magazine" described Lara as a
"Comeback Queen" after the good reception of Tomb Raider:
Legend after the previous game (Tomb Raider: The Angel of
Darkness) was panned by critics. "MSN Gadgets" described Lara
as "Gaming's most Important Leading Lady" and gaming site "Ugo"
listed her as number 1 one their list of the "Top 11" of female
game characters.
Merchandising
Since becoming a popular video game character, merchandise such
as countless action figures and models, have been released of the
character. Action figures of Lara Croft from the first Tomb Raider
film were released and also one of her as she appears in Tomb
Raider Legend. A Lara Croft Premium Format Figure was released of
Lara in her "Legend" outfit with Excalibur.A model of Lara in her
swimsuit in the Second Tomb Raider film was also made. Pens, with
images of the character, Tomb Raider Wallets, mobile phone covers,
mobile phone holders, mouse mats and Tomb Raider Playing Cards are
also among the merchandise released featuring Lara Croft. Tomb
Raider Chocolate bars were also produced, both featured images of
Lara Croft on the packaging. Books have also been released, one
analysing Lara's effect on popular culture and an "Official Lara
Croft Style Guide".
Controversy
Lara's original designer Toby Gard, considered Croft's growing
status as a sex symbol in the video game fandom through each
progressive game sequel-with increasingly gratuitous artwork and
advertisements-detrimental to the character, who gained more
attention from her appearance than her tough-as-nails spirit and
determination. In response to this, it was stated that she would
undergo a redesign and become more "demure" in Tomb Raider:
Legend for the sake of becoming more appealing to female
gamers. However, some of the outfits she wears in this game are
more revealing than costumes seen in previous games, with many of
them showing cleavage and/or midriff (though most of the available
outfits are fairly modest).
Also critical is the character being portrayed seemingly in an
increasingly bloodthirsty manner in the first two sequels of the
series, and occasionally not giving Lara the option to avoid lethal
force against human characters. Tomb Raider III was heavily
criticised for showing Lara having to fight security guards and
military police officers. However, to tackle this issue, Tomb
Raider Anniversary added a subplot where Lara felt guilty when
she was forced to kill for the first time, with Toby Gard stating
"We wanted to make Lara's first kill more meaningful".
Asked in Persephone (Proserpina)
What did goddess Persephone do?

She was abducted from her mother by Hades. She longed to return
from the underworld. When she was about to leave she was offered
and ate a pomegranate (or some pomegranate seeds). This meant that
the underworld was her home, so she could not return. In the end a
compromise was reached, where she stayed half the year in the
underworld and half the year with her mother.
Asked in Animated and Children's Movies, Consumer Electronics, Game Consoles and Gaming Hardware
Who is Lara Croft's main enemy?

Jacqueline Natla (appeared in Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and Tomb Raider: Underworld)
Natla was one of the members of the triumvirate ruling the lost
continent of Atlantis. However, she was later condemned for her
misuse of power and was imprisoned in a capsule by the other two
rulers, Qualopec and Tihocan. After escaping from her prison in
1945 during a nuclear test in Los Alamos, New Mexico, she took on
the name Jacqueline and founded her own company called Natla
Technologies using her scientific expertise and cunning. In 1996
she hired adventurer Lara Croft to search for Qualopec's piece of
the Atlantean Scion in his Tomb located in Peru. Shortly after
finding the artefact, Lara was attacked by another adventurer
Larson under orders by Natla. Knowing Natla had betrayed her, Lara
went in search for the remaining two pieces in Greece and then
Egypt. After obtaining the final piece, Lara was ambushed by Natla
and her men. Stealing the now assembled artefact, Natla ordered
Lara to be killed and left Egypt in her boat heading to
Atlantis.
It is inside the Great Pyramid of Atlantis that Natla's grand
scheme is revealed: to use the Scion's powers to breed a new race
of mutant creatures. Realising this, Lara made her best effort to
destroy the Scion. Refusing to let her work be destroyed, Natla
charged for Lara sending them both falling into a deep abyss. While
Lara managed to grab a ledge, Natla continued to plummet into the
lava pit below. As Lara tries to escape the pyramid Natla confronts
her a final time, revealing her true appearance. In the end, Lara
defeated Natla and escaped the pyramid, leaving Natla inside when
it exploded.
Jacqueline Natla returns in Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a
game inspired by the original Tomb Raider game, developed
Crystal Dynamics. Here she is voiced by Grey DeLisle. In
Anniversary, her role remains the same. However, Natla is
visually depicted as taller and as having a much skinnier body
frame as well as sharp and almost alien-like facial features,
unusually long hair, pale skin and long fingers with long, sharp
nails. She also loses her Texan accent.
In this game she also describes herself as immortal and sought
to bring about the 'Seventh Age' though what this was remained
ambiguous.
In Tomb Raider: Legend, several crates containing the
"Natla Industries" logo can be seen throughout the final level.
Before the release of Tomb Raider: Underworld it was not
known whether this was meant to imply Amanda Evert, the apparent
owner of the crates, had some connection to Natla or if it was
merely an Easter egg.
Jacqueline Natla returns in Tomb Raider: Underworld as a
prisoner of Amanda Evert's, held prisoner on Amanda's boat in a
stasis capsule. Early in the game she tells Lara about Hellheim and
Avalon being one and the same and informs Lara that she needs
Thor's relics to gain access. After visiting Jan Mayen Island to
retrieve Thor's hammer, she sets off to the Andaman Sea on the
coast of Thailand to find Amanda's ship again. Lara confronts and
threatens to kill Natla, but is stopped when Natla explains that a
ritual is also needed to open the gates of Helheim; a ritual that
only Natla knows. Realising she has no choice if she wants to enter
Helheim/Avalon, Lara then smashes the capsule open, allowing Natla
to escape. After arriving at Avalon, Natla reveals that she was
manipulating Lara to reach an ancient device called the Midgard
Serpent to bring about the 'Seventh Age.' Lara manages to
destroy the device and strike Natla with the thrown Thor's hammer,
which causes an explosion that throws Natla into the etir
surrounding the mechanism as it collapses.
In Lara's Shadow, shortly after the events of Underworld, Natla
is found to be alive and having escaped from the eitr. Although
appearing somewhat thrall-like, she retains her mind. The
doppelgänger drags Natla to a machine which was used to create it.
The doppelgänger is instructed to activate the machine, which it
does. It is then given one final order: to kill Lara Croft, and to
take its own life once it is finished. After being released from
Natla's control by Lara, the doppelgänger destroys the machine,
which causes Natla to be pinned down by the debris. Natla is last
seen trapped in a rising pool of eitr, pleading for help as the
doppelgänger looks on.
