Could This be the Meaning Behind Lara Croft’s Necklace?
When looking at the initial design image for the reboot Lara Croft, one thing in particular stood out. That was her beautiful jade pendant; the size and placement of it suggesting that the piece of jewellery could be significant to the story. In-game, the size had been decreased, but the vivid green stood out from the blood, mud and neutral tones that was the colour palette for Lara.
While I was playing Tomb Raider 2013, I fully expected that the swirly pendant would be some kind of key or talisman. Imagine my surprise when the end credits rolled and the necklace played no significant part whatsoever. I then thought that it would be important in ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’, and came up with the theory that because Lara interrupted Himiko’s ritual at the end of Tomb Raider, part of Himiko became trapped in the pendant. A theory that I have built into my fan fiction Tomb Raider 2013 continuation story because I believed in it so much. ‘Rise’ came around, and alas, as far as I know (as I am waiting for the PS4 version of the game) the pendant is simply just character design again.

The closest design to Lara’s is the Koru, a spiral. In Maori art, because of its fluid shape took from unfurling fern leaves, it is commonly used as a symbol of creation. Suggesting the ideology of perpetual movement, while the inner coil suggests a return to the point of origin. A metaphor for life both changing and staying the same; perfectly describing the way in which the franchise was rebooted.
The Koru can also represent new life. Taking the baby frond, it slowly unfurls as it grows before opening to a brand new leaf as the old one dies. Again, perfectly fitting for the reboot story line as Lara is thrown into her new life and grows into being a tomb raider (rather than just a very unlucky archaeologist!) as the games are released.

Reviews for "Excitement Awaits in "The Twelfth Book of the Magic Tree House Series"
1. Jane Smith - 2 stars
I really didn't enjoy the twelfth book released in the Magic Tree House series. The story felt repetitive and lacked originality. The characters seemed to be going through the motions without any real development or growth. Additionally, the plot felt rushed and poorly executed, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and unengaged. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to others.
2. John Doe - 1 star
The twelfth book in the Magic Tree House series was a major letdown for me. The writing felt lazy and uninspired, with underdeveloped storytelling and flat dialogue. The plot was predictable, and I found myself losing interest as the chapters went on. The characters lacked depth and complexity, and I struggled to connect with them. It's unfortunate because I had enjoyed the previous books in the series, but this one just didn't meet the mark. I would suggest skipping this installment altogether.
3. Emily Johnson - 2 stars
I was disappointed by the twelfth book in the Magic Tree House series. The plot felt disjointed and confusing, with a lack of clear direction. The pacing was off, with moments of unnecessary filler and others that were rushed and undeveloped. The writing itself also felt weaker compared to earlier books in the series, lacking the magic and charm that initially captivated me. While I appreciate the overall concept of the series, this particular installment fell flat for me. I would not recommend it to fans of the series.
