My mom literally had this hairstyle when I was born. We have a photo of her holding me in the hospital and she has EXACTLY the same hair.

Amelia's look was spot-on for a 90s mum though

I didn't repeatedly describe Lara's poofy bangs as a "dowdy mom bob" for no reason It IS "Mom hair"!

Also yeah I can just picture this Amelia in some 90s mom jeans

Maybe Lara has a poof to remember her mother.

Throwback to classic Lara maybe? I'm pretty sure she was "Laura Cruz" until very late in development of TR1, and then Laura's exotic looks stayed and lived on in Lara after the change

Yet another thing Reboot Lara hasn't inherited from the source material. I don't know how a character based on Lara ended up being Taylor Swift in a brown wig for the 2013 game.

Actually looking at Amelia, she kind of reminds me of Monica Geller in the far away shots.

Maybe Amelia’s former name was Laura Cruz and she was in the military, finding artifacts before meeting and then marrying Richard. When she did marry Richard, she took on an alias to avoid any controversy (or anyone hurting her family, idk), and when she had Lara, she named her that out of affection for her old name.

Just a thought.
