User blog comment:Xano501.ben/A reason why Ahri can hear Sona/@comment-5556439-20130726112703

Well you have to think logically. Riot I would bet didnt even have the faintest clue of this folklore when they designed Ahri and the League is placed in a fictonal universe completely different from our own so these Kitsunes/Gumihos wouldnt have existed. Unless Riot decided to for whatever reason begin implementing folktales and mythos from our world into Leagues I dont really think any of these things, while definetly plausible within a fantasy realm, would happen.

I do believe however, that Sona's inability to speak is kind of stupid to be honest as a mute in a modernized society is going to be significantly distant from everything else unless they communicate with writing.
