Anaya Imanu (Legend Timeline)

Anaya Imanu is an engineer and good friend of Lara Croft appearing in Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider Reloaded.

Tomb Raider: Legend
Anaya Imanu is a civil engineer working in impoverished areas of South America. She's a friend of Lara's dating back to their days at university, and she was with Lara during the tragedy near Paraíso, Peru. She has since led a distinguished career of her own, routinely crossing paths with Lara.

While working in La Paz, Bolivia, Anaya heard a rumor of a Stone Dais in Bolivia. Knowing that Lara is searching for them, she informed her of this rumor.

Later, Lara and Anaya rendezvous in the town square in Peru but mercenaries attack the village. Lara gets rid of them while Anaya gets away in her jeep, but is tailed by more mercenaries in the desert. She's eventually saved when Lara kills all of the mercenaries during the chase. They travel to the dig site in Paraíso that Lara's team went through years ago and Lara explores the caverns.

Tomb Raider: Reloaded
Anaya can be found on the map randomly by Lara. Anaya will give the player the choice of different stat boosts. These include healing the player for 40% of their HP, increasing damage by 10%, or increasing critical hit damage by 20%. Anaya is Lara's ally, making her offers come at no cost to the player.
