Q9)Lara Croft showcases conventional hero features such as skill,intelligence and courage; she also takes the traditionally male role as 'hero' and wears necessary equipment for action such a a utility belt. However, she is feminine in appearance and reinforces the commonly used female stereotype of being thin and attractive. She is often sexualised by er figure and he skimp clothing she used to wear.
