What should Karai mutate into?

My first impulse is to say "fox", but Alopex and Ninjara are both distinctive characters with their own history; I feel it'd be doing them a disservice to combine them with Karai.

A cat would be suitable as it has the fluidity of movement and would give space for some nice character beats between her and Splinter; my one issue with it is that it seems a bit gender-stereotyped (the cats = feminine assumption).

It could be interesting to see some type of arachnid mutation - think less Spyderbites and more Black Arachnia from Beast Wars; some of Karai's movements have always seemed a little spider-like to me.
