Emily has undergone truly massive genetic retrofitting by Gen-Wyld. The latest set of augments were mostly upgrades to her fur and subdermal armor. Several fascinating advances in keratin research have enabled the researchers to add a second underlayer of a down like fur that, when provoked by her autonomous nervous system, will rise like hackles and unfurl slightly. This undercoat has similar thermal resistance to aerogel, and enables survival in even extreme temperature environments.
Of course, her primary coat received an upgrade pass as well, increasing its softness and lustre both.
Some degree of genetics from an actual werewolf were integrated to serve as a bonding agent in some of the fur upgrades, and interestingly, an introduction of pure silver appears to cause an unraveling. We're going to need to switch out what we're using as a bonding agent for the next upgrade.
