Amanda Evert

Amanda Evert (born October 25) was once Lara Croft's best friend until an accident in Peru. She is a metaphysicist and is fascinated by mysticism always dreamed of rediscovering forgotten truths about mystical knowledge driven out of the world by modern science. During a past expedition with university colleagues, her foot became stuck beneath rocks while both she and Lara tried to flee a flooding tomb, before she was seemingly crushed by more rocks. Lara managed to escape and believed Amanda to be dead and left her behind. Amanda survived through harnessing the shadow powers of the Unknown Entity and developed a huge grudge against her former friend. After finding Jacqueline Natla, Amanda had her own particular library of knowledge she had longed for, and has been determined to get to Avalon, the Celtic paradise.

Amanda re-appears in the Kazakhstan and the Bolivia Redux missions in Tomb Raider: Legend as an enemy. She appears again in Tomb Raider: Underworld along with Jacqueline Natla. Natla tries to kill Amanda using a Doppelganger at which point, Lara and Amanda both team up to defeat Natla.
