Red Raider - characters
Just some story relevant facts about the characters who will be appearing. Mostly based on canon.
Main characters
- Lara Croft
Will the real Lara Croft please stand up ?
There are apparently three Lara Crofts. The video game Lara, the comic book Lara, and the movie Lara. The comic book Lara is not discussed here. At all.
The basic differences:
| Movie Lara | video Lara |
|---|
| employees | Hillary (young/English)(butler)
Bryce (techie) | Winston (old/Irish)(butler) (He came with the house) |
| ancestral family home in Surrey | inherited from father | Inherited from aunt ? |
| Family | father missing May 15, 1985, mother - unknown - died when Lara was very young. | mother/father disowned her |
| employment (when not tomb raiding | photo journalist | writer/amatuer archeologist |
Other than that, everything else (what she looks like, age, etc) are very similar.
I'll be using the movie Lara primarily because she fits my story better. The movie Lara is driven more by the loss of her father than by the lure of adventure that attracts the vg Lara. But let's throw in her adventures/past/enemies from the video games where appropriate. And don't worry about how the two movie adventures fit into the video game timeline.

- A bio at 'Lara Croft Online'
- A different look at the same info at The Tomb Raider Travellers Guide
Basic Lara facts
- Birthdate: 14-Feb-1968 (Yes, Valentine's Day)
- Height: 5' 9" - no she's not short
- Hair color: Brunette
- Eye color: Brown
- Education: Informal/on the job/self taught (once she finished the Swiss finishing school her parents sent her to)
- Personality: She's not a subtle person.
- Other:She likes fast cars and motorcycles
Note: The official Eidos bio doesn't seem to mention when she was born. The year came from several fan sites.
- Willow Rosenberg
Just imagine a canonical Season 7 Willow. There are several web sites that describe her including Near Her Always that describe her or explore all sorts of things about her but I'm sticking to canon here until we go AU after Chosen.
Basic Willow facts:
- Birthdate: 1981 (exact date unknown - summer most likely)
- Height: unknown - she's not very tall - petite - just over 5' - taller than Buffy, shorter than Dawn & Faith
- Hair color: Red
- Eye color: Green
- Education: Attending UC Sunnydale (at least until the end of Season 7).
Other characters - some minor, some not
- Buffy/Dawn/Xander/Giles/Faith ? (BtVS)
- Kennedy (BtVS) - Haven't quite decided what to do about her. She won't be killed off, She and Willow won't be breaking up. But she's not going with Willow.
- Bryce/Hillary (TR)
- Girl in a Bar characters (potential spoilers)
Note:There are a number of OC's (Original Characters) but that is impossible to avoid in an AU story like this.
