Your mom's was probably a demonic one, which could have been connected at birth, or gained control by defeating her first one.
I've met several different types of people, all with different types of guardians.
One girl I knew had a bird-like guardian, which I guess might have been similar to a phoenix. It was wise, but overall very neutral in its thoughts. I think it ended up shaping her into that kind of person as well.
A friend of mine didn't actually have a true spirit guardian, and ended up creating an abomination that acted like his guardian (some kind of shark dog thing), which arose from his personal "need" for a guardian, as well as his lust for power.
My mom's is, at least as some spiritual person said at one point, a collection of light-aligned spirits (possibly lower-class angels). However, learning of this didn't really affect her at all.
Mine's just a lower-class angel (sadly guardian class is bottom-tier), but he's a pretty cool guardian and has a lot of good insight into things.
Basically, what I'm saying is, it could benefit you to know who yours is, but it could also cause you to see yourself for what you truly are as well.
