Reason for kitsune: She made the bulb spark. (Then looked at Kira suspiciously as if trying to see if Kira saw anything)

Reason for Oni: She was shown in the elevator in front of the oni. She was in the front... leader role. She said, "now I'm threatening you."

She's clearly a Kitsune like her daughter. And her being in the lead position is supposed to imply that she's the one that pulled the stem from the Nemeton.
