In real world mythology anyway And Kira is.....OK, no clue, just gonna go with second generation Kitsune. Also, have no clue why she's a Thunder Kitsune and her mother is....possibly Celestial? Again, for a species that had an entire season arc devoted to them, we know surprisingly little about them. And real world mythology doesn't help all that much if Jeff decides that a couple of changes to major aspects of kitsune would make it cooler.

We know so little because the original plan was to make her a spin off, thus, introduce a tiny taste to make us want more. Then Reed wanted to leave, so they needed a replacement love interest for Scott.

As for Kira...it might be sort of like an...adoption type thing. If a Kitsune in a body breeds, they know there's the possibility that a spirit will enter it and they'll be responsible for raising them 'properly' or something. It's still her child by DNA, but the Kitsune spirit part...isn't? The spirit just chose that host? Is this making sense? It makes sense in my head. Of course it's all just wild speculation. But it would jive wit them being different types of Kitsune.
