 The Lara Croft character and image is the property of Core and Eidos. All other characters and events in this story are the sole property of the author. Emerald Eyeby Bob Patterson-- AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story was inspired by the character of Lara Croft in the game Tomb Raider. My vision of Lara is of an assertive young woman, sometimes a loner, sometimes lonely. She is undoubtedly wealthy from her books and journals, and possibly from the sale of some of her finds. Despite having turned her back on her aristocratic past, Lara remains educated and cultured. She most likely has learned several languages in her travels, and has gained some standing in the archaeological community as well. Her knowledge of firearms and their use, something totally alien to most British citizens, must have come not just from her experiences but some type of instruction or training. Having captured Bigfoot and published her book, Lara must certainly have become a public figure. This story assumes that she is considered a celebrity in the UK and America. One wonders how she deals with intrusive reporters...
