Actually after reading the part with "this is my nursery" I got the same vibes from her. Aliens do not really make sense in the Naruto world, but mythical beasts and multilayered realms of existance do if you follow the inspiration for Pain and the Rinnengan. Kaguya is most likely a "Deva" (godlike being). Devas are known for their arrogance as the source for their downfall which leads to their mortality. Furthermore Ashura are Demigods who do fight the Devas or Suras depending on the culture you reference. Kaguya also had the typical white Hair trait for any celestial being in Anime or Manga which stands for wisdom or divinity. Another reallife example how Kaguya does fit into this is the fact that "she" is a goddess, but her descendants are not. In Shinto "Amaterasu the sun goddes" is the ancestor of the emporor family of Japan, although wealthy and powerful the family is not associated with divinity their roots though are.

Considering Kaguyas heritage she´s most likely inspired by 3 mythological/reigious figures. 1. Eve who got expelled from Paradise for commiting the sin of eating the forbidden fruit and losing her "immortality" getting exposed to the harshness of the world. 2. Princess Kaguya, the Moon Princess. 3. The Goddess Amaterasu who in this case doesn´t start a dynasty of emperors destined to conquer the world, but get´s beaten by her dynasty after trying to conquer the world.

Kaguya mentions how humans aren´t suitable as soliders. Because she tried she knows this doesn´t work out,else she wouldn´t have to use MS on her past victims. The Shinobi world is meant to mirror the medieval Japan in culture. Medieval Japan was very isolated and not many knew that there was a world beyond their island. Kaguya does know that, her intention is the pursuit of power to conquer the world to rule over it as the sole celestial being she is.

Probably some of this get´s left out on purpose by Kishi because he would have to expand on the whole world outside of the nameless continent.
