I think that because we don't know her biological parents, it'll be difficult for the matchmaking system to find out who exactly she is related to and who she isn't. Elves pride themselves in a healthy marriage and often look down on bad matches. I assume that since they want every marriage to be as well as possible, the system was confused when they couldn't trace Sophie's relatives.

I also think that Shannon needed an idea that could continue the plot and play a big part in some places, along with a cliffhanger to encourage others to keep reading.
