Lydia is not a supernatural creature the way Kira is. There is a difference between the two of them. Kira is a kitsune, Lydia is a banshee. A banshee is human, but has mental abilities. Kira has left the field of being a 'normal human being'.

Lydia's ability only exists in a mental form, it has nothing to do with biological facts. There's a biological reason behind Kira's abilities though. That's the difference between the two of them. Being immune to the bite doesn't make Lydia a supernatural creature. She's a human being with a mental ability.

The reason why banshees were on the dead pool is a personal one. If it hadn't been Meredith who made the list, Lydia probably wouldn't be on it.

Lydia is human, Kira is not. That's why Lydia was able to touch the mountain ash and Kira wasn't.
