One of these heroines, Lara Croft, has enjoyed a broader lime light with a hugely successful video game and two feature films. Yet the games and the movies were only ever a rough introduction to the character that gamers were dying to know more about. AWAKENINGS moves beyond the basic introduction and delves into the rich character history that was created in the comic book series. Born to Lord Henshingly and Lady Andrea, Lara was born to riches that could never be spent in her lifetime, nor in the lifetimes of numerous descendants. Raised in a world of privilege, Lara had no cares. With her parents, a nanny, Mrs. Baker, who was like a second mother, and Compton, a war buddy of Lord Henshinglys from the Faulklands War, Lara was well loved. As a teenager, Lara attended Morrison, a private school. She was intelligent and bright, but she did not apply herself; she didnt have to with all the money her family had. Lara cared about parties and fashions and was without worry in regards to being expelled due to the amount of money her father gave the school. She was the spoiled, rich brat one would expect; defiant and cocky. Lara had wanted to be a ballerina as a child, and so, was indulged by her father; she also went into gymnastics. Lara was a natural and skilled enough that not only could she have competed in the Olympics, but she would have won, though her father would never let her compete in such Neanderthal activities. Compton trained Lara to shoot, unknown to her parents. Compton was in charge of security for the family and had even saved them from a terrorist attack in Ireland when Lara was a young child. He believed it was a must that she was able to defend herself. Days before her wedding, Lara, her fiancie Roger, and her parents were taking a private flight. Laras life was perfect...until the plane went down. In moments, Lara, the only survivor, had lost everything that mattered to her. She didnt even have time to think about it as the plane was on fire. Lara had to leap from the burning plane, tossed into the snow, as the plane had crashed on a mountain top. Stranded, injured, without food, water or adequate clothing and reeling from the death of the parents and her fiancie, Lara was alone and no help was coming.
