[Discussion] Theory about Shaola

I'm anime only and I'm trying to be spoiler free but I had a random thought and needed to hear people's thoughts about my theory. So this may have been discussed and I just missed it but I'm like 90% sure that shaola is an extremely sentient mawbeast. ​I dont have much for evidence but considering how close Meili is to her, her extreme power and long life, her weird personality and most of all, the ability for Ram to use clairvoyance on her makes me believe that she isn't any type of powerful human or spirit but a maw beast made to look like a human.
