Doppelgänger (Original Timeline)

Within the games series there has only been two doppelgangers of Lara Croft (featuring in Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Tomb Raider: Underworld.)

The first Doppelganger to be encountered was in Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider: Anniversary, it was found in 'The Great Pyramid' and its appearance was skinless with no hair (it gained a nickname of 'Bacon Lara') it copied Lara's every move and this was how Lara Croft destroyed it. There is a theory that this Doppelganger was just another Atlantean creature which was simply copying Lara's every move because it did not have a motive.

The second Doppelganger appeared in Tomb Raider: Underworld and it was created by Natla and Amanda Envert, this doppelganger has a mind of its own and it is a Darker, Faster, Deadlier and stronger Version of Lara Croft. There is a very strong resemblance between the two woman, So strong that Zip mistakenly thought it was Lara. But the doppleganger is different in apperance, For example she is very pale and very very veiny, She has blood red hair,her hair is done in the traditional ponytail braid with golden eyes. She is Natla's and Amanda Evert's unwilling "clone" of Lara Slave and was responsible for the destruction of Croft Manor and Alister.

After the events of Underworld, the Doppelganger took Natla (under orders) to her 'birthplace' were Natla could recover, after this Natla ordered the Doppelganger to go and kill Lara Croft and once it had done that put an end to itself, however, Lara Croft had learned the worlds to control it and used this for good rather than revenge, Lara ordered the Doppelganger to obey no further commands, it is a slave to no one, the Doppelganger's finally commands was to Kill Natla. Obeying her last and finally command the Doppelganger went back to Natla and tampered with the device which Natla was in, making her to fall, crashing onto the ground, Natla now trapped under a heavy rock ordered the Doppelganger to help her (unaware of Lara freeing it) however it does not, Natla screams for help from the other Thralls but it is useless, now Natla is drowing in Etir and the Doppelganger just looks onwards.

The fate of the Doppelganger or its where abouts is unknown.
