Maybe it is something not "logical", like her aging changes once a tail is broken (power reduced). So with all 9 tails, maybe she didn't age at all or "aged" something like 1 year for 100 years (assuming she started out as a teen/ young adult physically), so if she assumed human form after the age of 100 (like kitsune according to some myths can) and aged very slowly she would still look in her 20s after 800 years.

Maybe after that first tail was broken, her aging pace quickened so she aged 20 years over the last 70 years. Now that more tails are broken, maybe she'll age even faster possibly approaching normal human rate?

OR

Maybe it is not "linear" so Kitsune can only keep human form for a period of time and so for several hundred years she didn't age (or aged extremely slowly) but nearing the end, she is aging at an increasing rate?

OR

Maybe it is "love" and has do to her husband. Maybe Kitsune can control how quickly they age and she wanted to live a normal human life with him so allowed herself to age over the last 20 years at the same rate that he did (nothign to explain to her daughter or the neighbors that way)?

OR
