* [[spoiler:BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama: A cut-scene shown when Sam is recording the crew heavily implies this between Joslin and Roth. It's later confirmed (via a document) they're a couple and Roth impregnated Joslin in the past with their daughter. A fact Joslin doesn't reveal to Roth, because she wanted him to continue doing what he loves rather than force him to settle down.]]
* SassyBlackWoman: She seems this way at first, but it's later subverted [[spoiler: Because CharacterDevelopment reveals that she's only acting that way because of her guilt for not telling Roth he's the father of her daughter. And her desperation to get back home to her daughter once the danger on the Island happens.]]

* ActionSurvivor: She's just a college graduate trapped on an island. This version doesn't even seem to be as much of a DeadpanSnarker to compensate for her terror.
* {{Adorkable}}: Gets pretty giddy when expositioning on relics found in the game.
* AnAxeToGrind: A climbing axe is her primary melee weapon.
* ArcherArchetype: Has a hunting bow as one of her most-associated weapons.
** TrickArrow: Though she seems to have to make them herself, she has at least a rope arrow and a fire arrow.
* BadassBookworm: Eventually.
* BreakTheCutie
* DisappearedDad: It's implied that her dad "followed his instincts" a bit too much and was killed in an archaeological expedition.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Is noticeably paler than her original incarnation. Perhaps justified in that this incarnation has yet to spend much time outside of academia and no time playing action hero compared to her previous versions, being a graduate student and all.
* ExposedToTheElements: She's just about having to climb through obstacles as well as fight in gale force winds and in freezing cold.
* ItGetsEasier: The first time she kills a person, it's a horrifically traumatic event that signals the start of her development to becoming an ActionGirl. She then proceeds to slaughter hundreds of people throughout the rest of the game. She even mentions that it is "scary" how easy it was to kill someone.
* MadeOfIron: With all the physical abuse she has to endure, Lara really shouldn't be able to clamber up walls or surfaces that easily. Hiding out at the hubs would be the more sensible idea, but alas, we have a plot that needs advancing. However, this is addressed in-story, with injuries hindering her ability to traverse her environment.
* SurvivorGuilt: Feels personally responsible for everyone who dies on the island, considering they arrived there on her suggestion. By the end of the game she's noticeably numb to any given WhatTheHellHero she receives, with a ThousandYardStare in the final scene to boot.
* TookALevelInBadass: Takes several throughout the game.
