Background / History

Laura is the sole heir of the Croft Family. Her father, Henry Croft, disappeared during an expedition years earlier, leaving her reluctant to accept her title and inheritance despite her family’s immense wealth. Her upbringing included a period at a Swedish finishing school, where she learned social etiquette, languages, arts, and sports such as riding and skiing. 172 174

She meets Link at Terry’s fighting club while obsessively training after her father’s disappearance. Mistaking his scholarly demeanor for weakness, she attacks him during their sparring session, only to be decisively outmatched. Link’s skill, knowledge, and humor earn her respect, and the two become friends after spending the afternoon talking over coffee. 172 173

Laura later asks Link to help decipher Henry’s notebook on Queen Himiko and Yamatai. After witnessing Link’s magic, she accepts his offer to accompany her to the Devil’s Sea in search of her father. 173 174

On Yamatai, Laura survives a shipwreck, suffers fractured ribs, and depends on Link’s treatment and protection. She ultimately discovers Henry’s remains and notebook, accepts his death, and resolves to inherit both his legacy and his calling as an explorer. 176 178

Appearance

Laura is an athletic young woman with chestnut hair, usually tied into a ponytail, and light blue eyes. Her aristocratic upbringing gives her a polished presence, while her choice of clothing and equipment reflects her preference for active exploration. 174 175

• Often wears practical expedition gear, including khaki military pants and fitted tops. 175
• Uses jungle combat clothing, firearms, grenades, and climbing equipment during ruin expeditions. 180
• Has formal riding experience and owns a reddish-brown horse named London Star. 188
• Is capable of presenting herself comfortably in aristocratic social settings, including formal dinners and auctions. 187 195

Personality

Laura is stubborn, fearless, and highly competitive. After Link defeats her in their first sparring session, she immediately becomes more cautious but refuses to yield, continuing to challenge him until exhaustion forces the bout to end. 173

Her primary drive is curiosity. Laura is drawn to ancient mysteries, ruins, and artifacts not merely for wealth, but for the process of uncovering lost history. Her decision to continue exploring after finding Henry’s remains comes from both love for her father and a genuine passion for adventure. 178 201

She maintains firm moral principles even when dealing with powerful artifacts. Laura refuses to agree to destroy the Divine Source without understanding why, and she rejects Trinity’s recruitment despite Anna’s threats against her friends. 216 217
