Lara Croft
Lara Croft leads the Tomb Raider series — an archaeologist-adventurer who became one of the medium's most referenced characters after her 1996 debut.
Two broadly different portrayals matter for cataloging: Classic Lara (1996–2003) is the tank-control era icon — low-poly charisma, puzzle-heavy tombs, and magazine-cover fame. Reboot Lara (2013–2018) is younger, grimier, and built around a cinematic survival-action trilogy.
