Lara yelled at him that she didn't want to understand, and just wanted him to be her father again before storming off. This strain came to a breaking point when Lara confronted him after overhearing her father become enraged on a phone call, and he insisted that one day she would later understand. Lord Croft's obsession with discovering the secrets of immortality began to cause strain between Lara and her father.

Upon Winston's suggestion, Lara was introduced to her father's girlfriend, Ana. Lara didn't relate to other girls very well, which Winston theorized could be the result of Lara not having any female role models, as she spent the majority of her time with her father. She often asked her father to take her with him when he went on digs, to alleviate her boredom. Nevertheless, Lara was often bored at school, which led to her getting in trouble for daydreaming and not paying attention in class.

On one such trip, Lara was working on a small patch late one night, and uncovered a jade trinket. Though her father would occasionally take her along on his expeditions, he was often too busy to pay attention to his daughter. Lara found solace in books, which fueled a lust for adventure. One of Lara's earliest memories was her fifth birthday, when her father, Winston, and the rest of the staff put a lot of preparation into a treasure hunt to keep her entertained. Lara began to act out in order to get attention, even locking the family butler Winston in the large walk-in freezer. Her death inspired Lord Croft's obsession with finding the key to immortality, which in turn resulted in him becoming somewhat neglectful of Lara. Lady Croft died in a plane crash when Lara was very young. Her mother, who was an artist, worked from home and spent much of her time with her daughter, playing with her and giving her piano lessons. Lara's early years were spent in the company of her doting parents.

However, Lara was ultimately delivered successfully, much to her parents' relief. Lara's birth was difficult and both of her parents worried that they might lose her before she was born. Lara was born on February 14th, 1992, the only child of Lord Richard and Lady Amelia Croft. 1.2.2 Shipwrecked on an Uncharted Island.
