She's pretty good at whackarobot. (Bubbles, of course, but also Pintsize.) (That was her, wasn't it? Saw him, immediately punched him?)

That was Samantha, not long after the corn snake incident with Emily.

Emily did it too, hard enough to cave in Pintsize's head and to nearly break her own hand. As Marten tried to clean up the mess, she was babbling about: "His head looked soft! Why wasn't it soft?!?"

It's a more plausible hypothesis than her being a highly complex technorganic AI.
And being short, stocky and having a slightly higher than average bone density, I can personally attest to the added durability. For example, I've been flung 100 some-odd feet from my bike, hit the ground fast and hard enough to bounce twice going an additional 30ish ft, and I was able to stand up on my own (albeit a bit dazed) and walk to the campus clinic.
I've also been hit as a pedestrian a few times. Luckily never anything faster than 20mph.
And I haven't broken a single bone through any of that.
EDIT; fixing typo.
Zebediah:
Maybe it is a more plausible hypothesis, but it is no more supported by the evidence than the techno-organic hypothesis. If Emily is an athlete, she spends remarkably little time practicing or playing any sport. There is zero evidence to support the idea that she's on an athletic scholarship at a college that doesn't even award athletic scholarships.
And I am not supporting the techno-organic hypothesis either. Frankly, I think this whole thread is trying to come up with an explanation for something that doesn't need an explanation. Emily is physically well within the bounds of normal human variation, and mentally she's a bit atypical but not inexplicably so.
