She DID. In the original origin story, her mother and father and fiancee died in a plane crash in either the Alps or Himalayas and she had to hike home, by herself. That went a long way towards giving her a lust for adventure and an ability to defend herself. Further, her extended family fought her right of inheritance for a long time and she supported herself through writing travel monologues/guides.

In the Legend origin story (and possibly the associated comics though I'm not sure), the plane definitely went down in the Himalayas. Lara was around nine. Her mother died/was transported to Avalon and then died. The pilots were dead. She HIKED DOWN in the HIMALAYAS at age NINE, when I seriously doubt she had any sort of equipment, into a small town and proceeded to call her father and ask for a pick-up. That's not getting things handed to her.

Sexual assault was never a part of the Lara Croft mythos. In my mind, sexual assault never WILL be a part of the Lara Croft mythos. I may play through it, but it will definitely leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Seriously, the death of her parents or even just one parent and having to go through an on the spot survival expedition with no instructor and no equipment that even highly trained people are unlikely to survive wasn't enough? She HAS to have been raped, or had someone attempt rape, to make her 'strong' and the Lara we know and love? Bullshit.
