'''Dr. Amanda Holyfield''' was a xenobiologist working with [[Interstellar Expeditions]].<ref name=QfJb1c1/>

==History==
Dr. Holyfield encountered the [[Jardinian Fire Cat]] (''panthera ignus jardinalis'') in the Mesozonia rainforest of [[Shasta]], the first sighting of the cousin to the [[tabiranth]] since [[Jardine]] vanished from general knowledge in the [[First Succession War]]. She published her work, [[Panthera ignus jardinalis—A New Link?|''Panthera ignus jardinalis''—A New Link?]] in a Free Worlds League journal sometime before early [[3067]]. Three days after publication she was killed in a freak laboratory explosion "accident," followed by denunciation of her work by peers in the field.  Her death and discreditization were the result of [[Word of Blake]] efforts to keep Jardine hidden.<ref name=QfJb1c1/>

Unknown to Dr. Holyfield, the fire cats were introduced to the Shastan jungles when a ship contracted by [[Interstellar Expeditions]], ''[[Clarke]]'' crashed on Shasta after being brought down by Word of Blake vessels pursuing them for discovering the world around [[3062]].  In its cargo hold were over a dozen fire cats that escaped into the world.<ref name=QfJb1c4>''The Quest for Jardine'', Book 1, ''The Hunt for Jardine'', ch. 4</ref>
