Recurring Characters in The Tomb Raider Game Series - Sophia Leigh

Sophia Leigh

Like Jacqueline Natla, Sophia Leigh is a businesswoman. Leigh owns a cosmetics company in London, UK. It is revealed in Tomb Raider III that Sophia has been performing sick experiments on people to test her products, many of whom she thought dead due to her failed experiments, they were dumped in the sewers. Sophia started using an artefact she had come across, called the "Eye of Isis", which, unknown to her, was one of four meteor artefacts Lara Croft is looking for during the events in Tomb Raider III.

Sophia Leigh first appears in this game when Lara travels to London to find the Eye of Isis. Sophia sends a number of assassins, under her employment, to kill Lara. However, they are all unsuccessful and Lara climbs through a ventilation shaft to Sophia's office where she is sitting with the artefact on her desk. Sophia mockingly offers Lara a job, telling her that with her lifestyle she would be the perfect face for her products. Lara then tells Sophia the people she experimented on were still alive and that they helped her find Sophia. Lara demands she hand over the artefact, which she refuses to do. Sophia takes the artefact and runs out to the balcony and across to the other building, she then uses the artefact to shoot green shards at Lara who works her way up Sophia's building and across to the one she is on. Lara defeats Sophia by shooting a fuse box connected to an electrical bridge that Sophia was standing on during the end battle causing her to get fatally electrocuted.

Sophia Leigh is also the final boss in Tomb Raider III: The Lost Artefact, where she attempts to use the Hand of Rathmore.

Sophia Leigh was voiced by Judith Gibbins, the same voice actress who did Lara Croft in Tomb Raider II & Tomb Raider III.
