@Graham, There can be different explanations to your counter opinions. Different kitsunes may have different abilities. Like you can't just consider the way we saw Kira would be the same as other 13 types of kitsunes. Each and every one of them could be different. Yes, Derek recognized Kira's aura. Still didn't have that when he was nogitsune. It's possible that he had learned how to hide it after 1000 years, but then again maybe he never had it because he's void. So maybe Parrish doesn't have an aura as well, or maybe he does but it needs a different trigger than flash to appear. Also don't forget that Kira's aura became visible only after she discovered her abilities. No werewolf looked at Parrish after he saved Argent, so maybe that's when he triggered his powers and now he has the aura but no one notices. I'm just saying that there can be multiple explanations to things and we shouldn't rule out possibilities. You're mostly right -- except about the aura. Kira's aura was visible well before she had powers, she knew about it before she even met Scott she just had no idea what it was.

As for the nogitsune? I suppose it's possible that it never had an aura, except then why bother telling us that a kitsune can learn to hide it? We know it's a thousand years old and has great control over its abilities. Why would you ever assume it didn't have an aura?

And lastly.... are our wolf character so dumb we're gonna assume nobody bothered to check to see if Parrish had an aura just because we want him to be a kitsune? Like, the biggest problem with Parrish being a kitsune is the complete lack of faith it requires in everyone else involved in the series -- both fictional and real. :P
