And she's not like him, not entirely. Intellectually, sure, they share similar interests and pursuits, but Richard was mousy and non-combative. He didn't have the same adventurous, ballsy attitude Amelia or Lara have.

He's important to her development and background, but he's not her sole motivation to do anything.

Have a read of Sam's journal:

We had so many awesome adventures together. That insane backpacking trip through Bulgaria, I was always dragging her out to clubs. And the hiking trip on the south face of Kilimanjaro; all Lara wanted to do was explore ruins, but who knew we'd run into so many cute guys? Certainly not Lara, haha!

If she only enjoyed learning and not adventuring, why join the Endurance crew at all? Why hike, mountain climb, and learn to use firearms? Why go on adventures with Sam? None of those have anything to do with her father.

It's almost as if she's freezing, having survived a ship wreck, severe physical pain, finding a sacrificed girl and being attacked by a crazed murderer.
