3	Rhona Natasha Mitra (born 9 August 1976 in Paddington, London), sometimes credited as Rona Mitra, is an English actress, model and singer. Her father is of Indian descent, and her mother's Irish. She came to prominence as the model for the iconic [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]], essentially professionally {{cosplay}}ing as her. She then broke into film and television with memorable performances in the likes of ''Series/NipTuck'', ''Series/ThePractice'' and ''Series/BostonLegal'', and she won critical praise for her fierce turn as a bona-fide action heroine in ''Film/{{Doomsday}}'' (although reception to the film itself was a little more divided). She also starred as Dr. Rachel Scott on ''Series/TheLastShip''.

38
39	!!Tropes in her work include:
40
41	* ActionGirl: She frequently plays this role and is no slouch at kicking ass.
42	* AwesomeDearBoy:
43	** She loved the idea of playing a vampire LadyOfWar in ''Rise of the Lycans'' so much that she kept her teeth in even when she wasn't filming, and kept them after they wrapped.
44	** She signed on to ''Series/TheLastShip'' because she was fascinated with virology and had done so much research into her own autoimmune condition (sinusitis) that it felt "very timely".
45	* CastTheRunnerUp: She was in consideration to play Selene in ''Underworld'' and, when the role went to Kate Beckinsale, she later got cast as Sonja in ''Rise of the Lycans'', who was previously said to remind Viktor of Selene.
46	* FakeScot: Only technically in ''{{Film/Doomsday}}''. Eden is Scottish-born but raised in England since she was a child, meaning Rhona doesn't have to fake an accent.
47	* NoStuntDouble: She did all her own stunts in ''Doomsday''.
48	* PlayingAgainstType:
49	** Normally known for her action and horror roles, she starred in the comedy ''Film/GameOverMan''.
50	** ''Series/TheLastShip'' technically as, although it's within genre, she's playing a scientist rather than an ActionGirl.
51	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: She left ''Series/TheLastShip'' because she was recovering from an autoimmune condition, and moved from Los Angeles to Uruguay to do so.
52	* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Many ''Film/{{Underworld\|2003}}'' fans were pleased at her starring role in ''Rise of the Lycans'' as barring a few key differences, she and Creator/{{Kate Beckinsale}} are extremely close in looks, which makes a scene in the first film, where Victor mentions how much Kate's character reminds him of his daughter, Sonia, make more sense.
