I think until it is addressed on the show, if it ever is, that this is the only explanation that makes even the slightest but of sense, at least in my head. Didn't Peter Hale say something about a kitsune and deciding to become human but you could only do it after 100 years. Hence why I made that comment

He was using 'become human' in the sense of taking physical, human, form. Which the spirit must be at least one hundred years old to do. Mrs. Yukimura had already taken human form, and had been that way (presumedly) for several centuries. Technically, while we know she's 900 years old, we don't know how old her human form actually is. We know she was in her human form at least since ww2, but beyond that, we don't know anything. Kira is a kitsune and she is in "human form" so yeah I think they are using human in a different sense.
