What if they're related through marriage? In Fazra's backstory(as it currently stands, I can and will change it if necessary for our own story) her father married into a noble/royal family to make an alliance with a human kingdom. Maybe Kijani is a cousin, or even a step sibling(Fazra currently has a human step brother in her background already). 

You certainly don't have to go with that, just something in throwing at the wall.
