From my understanding, it's more like 55% Exalted Flesh, 45% Core Anchor. So it's a mix of both.

In the character sheet and in the story, the exalted flesh shows up as [Uplifted Vessel], so its easy to miss.
Non-Canon Omake: It's a Girl's World — And Ruffles is a Good Girl!

...Alrighty then.
Ruffles Quest!
As per your solemn duty as Best Dog, you continue your patrol of the streets of Harmuph. You're still trying to make a list of who made it through the Night of the Bad Dogs and who didn't. You were able to wake up Sally and the rest of your human family in time so they could use their hands to move the furniture to block the windows and doors, but apparently some others weren't as lucky. Tunia made it through alright, but you haven't seen the baker boy who would toss you the old pastries when nobody else was looking. Everyone smells a little sad, especially the ones who seem to be buying flowers. Part of you is a bit mad when SHE made it through when others died. Yes, it's a Naughty Girl thought, but you don't know how much longer…
A familiar scent catches your nose. You eagerly, hopefully run back to the stables near the town entrance and YES! Chariot the Wonder Horse is alive! You happily bark at him, and ask him if his humans are alright. And boy, does he have a story to tell!
You had wondered about Lilly, one of Sally's friends, who you hadn't seen in a while. Chariot says that she had run away from the house for an awful long time, and the family was sad for weeks, and put some flowers on the door (Do humans just buy flowers when they are sad?). But then Lilly suddenly came back one day, only she smelled like trees and old dirt. At first, Chariot thought that she had just gone rolling around in the forest, but no, she just smells like that now. And apparently she gives what Chariot calls the Good Pets, that help Chariot understand a bit of what Lilly wants, let him see and hear all around him, and let him run forever. He knows he can run forever, because that's what he ended up doing on the Night of the Bad Dogs.
Lilly took him out for a run towards Harmuph, but then she stopped and lay down on the ground (while the Bad Dogs were howling, why!?), and then a tentacle thing came out of Lilly's chest (do humans give birth to tentacle things?). Chariot was scared, but then Lilly's Good Pets let Chariot know that the tentacle thing was a Hidey Friend, so that was good. They kept on running, and Lilly threw some rocks at the Bad Dogs, and the Hidey Friend poked at them, and Chariot even kicked one in the face! They finally made it to Harmuph after the town humans fought off the Bad Dogs that were chasing them. Then he sat around for a bit, but then Lilly got a bunch of town humans with horses to follow them back to the house. Lilly was somehow to give EVERYONE the Good Pets, even without touching them, and they beat up all the Bad Dogs they ran into! Then Lilly went with Chariot and some other humans into the forest, but then Chariot saw some Bad Dogs, a few Bad Horned Horses, and a Big Bad Brown Predator! Chariot was too scared and ran away, and he was almost heartbroken when he saw the town humans carry her out, but she was apparently just sleeping, so they brought her into the house and she didn't come out for two whole days.
Then Lilly woke up yesterday, but Chariot thinks something bad happened. A Big Horse showed up with a bunch of regular horses and some humans, and one of the humans looked like they were going to give Lilly a present for beating up all the Bad Dogs, but the human grabbed her instead and started dragging her while she was screaming. It looked like she was about to leave with the Big Horse, but then the town humans pulled out their metal pointers at the Big Horse humans, and the Big Horse humans ran away. One of the humans gave Lilly a flower, but it must have been a Mad Flower instead of a Sad Flower, because Lilly threw it on the ground and stomped on it. Chariot thinks Lilly is scared that the Big Horse will come back someday and get its humans to carry her away.
…You take all this in and try to consider it. Chariot can get details wrong sometimes, but he generally doesn't intentionally lie. This Lilly might be in trouble, or at the very least will require further investigation. You thank Chariot for the news, give a sniff to his saddle to get Lilly's scent, and then make your way back into the streets. Sure enough, you follow the scent of oak and earth and find a familiar half-sized little girl, who seems to be looking around for something. Now, should you watch from afar? No, the best way to determine a human's character is obvious: you go right up to them and ask for pets. Good humans always pet Good Dogs, it is a fundamental rule of the world.
You had hoped to sneak up close to her, but she turns toward you right away as you approach. "Oh, you're Sarah's dog, aren't you?" She reaches down to scratch you behind the ears, and then you feel the Good Pets Chariot had mentioned. It fills you up, makes you feel awake from nose to tail, and makes all the little aches and pains just melt away. "Now, what was your name, again?"
Why, you're Ruffles, the smartest dog in the world, of course.
Lilly immediately stops, pulls her hand back, and stares at you for a few seconds. "Did.." She glances left and right to see if anyone was watching. "Did you just talk?"
…Wait, did this human just understand you? Have you finally found someone who is not just human-smart, but Ruffles-smart?
No, no, that's just silly. Nobody's Ruffles-smart but Ruffles; it's a lonely position at the top, but such is the dignity and duty of being the Best Dog. Lilly might have a few tricks, but I doubt she's capable of even being a contender for Sarah's position of Best Human.
"This can't be happening. Why does this keep happening to me?"
See, this Lilly-girl's already getting confused about what is or isn't happening. But this opens up so many possibilities. You could tell her where to scratch your itches, you can get her to buy the pig's ears from the butcher instead of trying to root through the trash, you could warn somebody about Death-Smelling Girl, you could explain to Sarah how to mark her territory-
"Wait, Death-Smelling Girl?"
Oh My Dog, yes! Someone needs to be told about Death-Smelling Girl. She's a bit taller than Lilly, not Sarah, not Tunia, dang it, what's the human sound for her?
"…Myah?"
Yes, Myah! Oh, how do people not smell her for what she is? She gives the Bad Pets! No, not like the pets that human babies give when they brush the fur the wrong way, you mean the Bad Pets that make everyone sleepy and icky. Myah tried to give Bad Pets to you once, but then you wriggled out of her grasp and barked at her, and then Myah started crying. You've seen her give Bad Pets to the humans who sleep outside at night. You also followed her into the woods where she found a squirrel caught in a snare and gave it the Bad Pets until it stopped moving and then it started moving again but gave off a foul odor. Then Myah screamed and smashed it with a rock and buried it, and then she started crying again. You've tried barking whenever she shows up, but Sarah doesn't understand and tells you to be quiet. You've thought about maybe biting her, but then that would put you in range of the Bad Pets! You don't know what to do!
"…I…might be able to help with that. I want to talk to Myah, and see if I can stop her from…giving Bad Pets anymore. Could you help me find her?"
…Oh. Oh, of course. Lilly can use her Good Pets to cancel out the Bad Pets, and then Myah can just give regular pets that are good enough for anyone. But wait, I thought Lilly's Good Pets allowed her to see everywhere.
"…How did you know about that?"
You had talked to Chariot, of course. He had quite the story about you.
"You can talk to…You know what, I can't digest this right now. My…abilities aren't the best at finding an individual that I haven't connected with. I can tell that there are 5 people and a few mice in this house we're standing in front of, but I can't pick out who is who at a glance. Could you possibly get Myah's scent and find out where she is?"
…See, this is why humans are always left behind in these matters: nothing replaces a good nose. Well, now the plan is clear! You shall lead this Lilly to Myah and they will be able work together to stop the Plague of Bad Pets! Soon, this will be another successful mission completed by Ruffles, Best Dog!

I am imagining Ruffles's Ethos now:
[Man's Best Friend] (Apotheotic) Deific | Unique
Someone once said, "Dog is man's best friend." Unfortunately, no one thought to examine how that friendship began; had they known the truth they may have chosen different words: for is the worker bee the friend of the queen? The arm the friend of the brain? All those who come in contact with you find themselves intrigued by you, then entranced by you, then enthralled by you. What begins as an innocent-seeming attraction to your cuteness soon becomes a single-minded imperative to see your will done. One dog in the right place can find entire nations bending to their will, upending power structures intractable for millennia all to find that perfect chew toy that just so happens to be in the neighboring country's yard. Ask not for whom the dinner bell tolls, it tolls for thee.

I actually think we already may have a pretty good chance to handle Valerie with our actual powers.
Basically, we know that "Subversion" works better on us than on other people and we know that most of the changes it could make on ourself can be healed thanks to [My Resolution, Thy Bedrock]. We also know that this power works similar to those of the demons and that it can influence even integral parts of a person, like their connection to their own ethos.
Now, what do us readers know about what can likely happen when a demon is forced to obey the orders of an hostile being?
They try to twist them to their advantages (we would twist ourself in this case), until they get the shot to kill them. And that's exactly what Lilly could already be able to do.
So, even if we get caught under Valerie's powers, we should be able to twist her orders in a way that may allow our protagonist's temporarily subverted personality to at least kill her. For example, if Valerie ordered to Lilly to "shut up and cut your tongue", the latter, thanks to subversion, would probably be able to do things like cutting Valerie's head off, crush her body, use her skull's teeth to cut her own tongue, and then heal herself. All of this without necessarily suffer permanent changes to her own personality or body.
Now, there are problem even with this: Valerie may simply give Lilly only specific orders, even if [Cleaver of Fortune] plus how difficult it actually is to do something like that all the time make it unlikely. To not talk about the fact that Valerie's patron may suspect we have a creature similar to itself with us, something that may bring her to be more warded when dealing with Lilly. And there would be the problem with what was actually the last order Valerie issued.
So, this is mostly something to consider if we don't find something else to reliably use, or if we fall under one of her orders anyway. Especially because this may still be possible even after we failed a previous attempt with something else.
However, no matter what, we should be cautious in the way we will deal with Valerie.

I'd prefer to deal with Valerie fatally, from a distance, and without warning, but that's not really in Lillys character even if we had the ability and foreknowledge.

Take chances! Make mistakes! In the immortal words of Bender, "I don't recall fighting Godzilla, but that is so what I would have done."
To be fair, I'm also waiting on the conversation to fill in some blanks. I've got a partially drafted omake about Yolun and Captain Martin having a conversation after everyone knows the secret. Well, less a conversation and more Yolun yelling, "You sent a girl who had held a mace for less than 12 hours into a dungeon? What the hell, man!?"

Whether that's a bad thing is up to you. Evie didn't have a problem suggesting more frequent inverted Ethea as one of her enhancement options in 'Slipping between the Cracks'.

You extrapolate it. In much the same way you can extrapolate that your car is crashing from observing the windshield and walls imploding inwards.

Hmmm...
There is a bit of land below Parish and to the right of Alenria that is apparently unclaimed. I wonder why...
I guess the relations between those two "kingdoms" aren't that good. Or there is a problem with piratery, but then we, as Narisennial, would also be partially affected by that.
Also, what is probably our capital is surprisingly close to a border.
EDIT: actually, also Loislv has a capital near a border, and Parish has its near to what is probably one of the bad places no one wants to claim.

None of this is all that unusual. It's fairly common for a national capital to end up relatively close to a border through one of the following processes:
1) Asymmetric annexation (the US started on the Eastern Seaboard and expanded west; now the national capital is like 100 miles from one edge of the territory of a nation 3000 miles across).
2) Strategic terrain (Czarist Russia built a new capital at St. Petersburg, very close to the edge of their territory then as now, because it was well positioned and a good site that got them away from the old, more centrally located capital).
3) Regional dominance (China's capital is in Beijing for a variety of reasons, chief among them that the northern part of the country has historically been able to dominate the southern part most of the time.

That map actually puts Marigold quite some ways away from us, so she might not arrive in time for our little confrontation. She basically has to cross the entirety of Narisell, and I don't remember exactly how close she was to the border, just that she was relatively close.

she was directly at the borders iirc, the patrol she ran into was there to recharge border scrying stones, so she should be crossing the border soon.

Wow what nice and friendly mottos for the countries nearby and not concerning at all. The only one that I feel good about is Strong Every Season cause that seems actually normal and uplifting compared to things like 'We Serve' or 'We Regret'. Though I have to acknowledge I am completely confused by Shara and Desert-Kinn's 'Water, Dirt' and 'Apay Svii Ve'loo' mean since they just so seem random especially Shara's since it doesn't even have the excuse of another language
Looking at the map there's also plenty of other 'nice' names too. Like The Still Eye which seems to be a black obelisk in the the center piece of land of a circular lake and its surrounding region doesn't appear to be part of any country on our map which obviously means it's perfectly safe and not at all scary.
There's also Dead Rest which seems to be a the northern region of Desert-Kinn's country where what seems two major cities are. Makes me wonder if Desert-Kinn are zombies ala Warhammer Fantasy's Tomb Kings since their 'cities' seem like faded ruins. There's also ominous giant pink crystals that are apparently either big or important enough to be put on a map.
The Region at the bottom of the Map called the Zero Line that looks like cracked and blood splotched earth is also not concerning at all! Especially since it's border doesn't seem to be political since it still shows up on the geographic map! Please don't be an invasion of another reality or something please.
I really hope The Silent Sea that's apparently close enough for us to visit in half a night isn't related to the Still Eye cause I don't want to deal with Cthulhu.
Giant red crystal Lattidyst near Quarn and Kailshi but claimed by neither is also not scary or frightful. It's obviously a Final Fantasy job changing crystal and therefore full of Light and Goodness right? It's not like Quarn's motto is 'We Regret' or anything right implying they did something really bad and/or dumb right?
Pallids in Alenria also looks nice with the black splotches on the Earth where everything seems dead and what seems like an ominous black door/mine from where the black splotches started from.
Wonder what's up with giant green pool Empfreen that none of the nearby countries want to claim it and its surrounding area. Cause I vaguely feel it's less dangerous than other things like the Still Eye or the varied unclaimed mountain ranges that are similarly unclaimed. Do Shara and Parise not want to share a border or is my vague feeling completely off?

Or maybe they aren't human, but Desert-Kinn. Like a different species or something that, at max, was only in the past related to humans.
