As silly as it sounds their Powers are at least partly Alien, as Kwami often predate the Earth so, while some of the Younger ones may have come into being on Earth - Tikki (and likely Plagg) are Aliens of a sort. The remainder of their being would I guess be a combination of Ancient Magic of Chinese Origin and the Human element.

I do wonder sometimes if the kwamis imbue the host with animal like qualities or the Chinese Magic loaded the Kwami's down to an animal theme that they most closely resemble. The Kwami's might not be derived from the Chinese Zodiac they might be the inspiration for it. (But that would require the Chinese Zodiac to be no older that 5 Thousand years Max), and not all of them in the box are Chinese Zodiac animals either ; such as Fox, Cat, Ladybug, Peafowl, Butterfly & Turtle for example.

As for Alya she has her flaws - but then that is perhaps why she feels more like an actual person to me than say Rose does.
