Don't bother changing her image. There's little you can do.
Instead MAKE A NEW IP with this new target audience in mind.
Make a new heroine. Make a new story.

Changing Lara at this point is like changing Dante

It's not going to work and you are only going to annoy people.

..
Nobody wants to make a new IP because they're terrified it won't do well. That's why we have so many sequels and spin-offs and gaiden games.

The game industry needs to dig its head out of its ass, stop being so spec-obsessed, stop with the enormously and unnecessarily bloated budgets, stop with hilariously unrealistic sales expectations and try to deliver a fun, engaging experience to the player.

From Software did it with Dark Souls, which sold 2 million copies and was fantastically profitable. Tomb Raider did not, which sold 3.4 million copies and was considered a failure.
