Her whole leg is gone. The parts attach like you would expect them to.

Her leg is severed at the hip, but it only lists the point of separation.  If it went further, then it would start listing missing toes and toenails, and we don't want that.

Bassically anything that is solely connected to the torso/upper body through the part that is missing is gone as well.

Her right lower leg is missing and has a covering of water.
Her right ankle is missing and has a covering of water.
Her right foot is missing and has a covering of water...

This is the same reason the dead have 'their upper body is gone'

I think that's because the upper body has the [UPPERBODY] token, and that kinda defines an animal.  A hydra can have its head lopped off and live, and not all creatures have a lower body, but they all have an upper, and when it's gone, you're dead.  At least that's my take.  Synonymous with "the spirit has left" I guess.

Exactly. So everything is treated as being connected to the upper body. If it is gone, so is everything else.
