My theory is Oralie and Gethen. Warning: long post ahead

Telepaths can send you thoughts. Powerful Empaths can calm you down and control your emotions. We know Oralie is super powerful: in Lodestar, she could feel Mr. Forkle's and Sophie's emotions without physical contact (the walk back up fron the dungeons). And we also know Gethen is a powerful Telepath, because he shattered Keefe's memories along with other stuff.

If you manipulated Telepath and Empath, you could get Inflictor, and we know Mr. Forkle wanted Sophie to have telapathy and inflicting (which are both so strong I think they have to be rooted in her parent DNA).

Mr. Forkle probably cared the most about abilities, not smaller stuff. Gethen, Oralie, and Sophie all have blond hair. and Oralie and Sophie both blush a LOT. Gethen and Oralie both aren't part of the Black Swan.

Gethen could have been part of Project Moonlark from the beginning, but he wanted to do more with Sophie's DNA than just donate, and Mr. Forkle kept saying no and he got upset. Or he wants to be a part of Sophie's life by convincing her to use her talents for the Neverseen instead.

Oralie has always been super supportive of Sophie, and she showed up the most during the books Sophie was in the most danger. How did she know when they would be leaving in Neverseen? Clearly, she wants to be a part of Sophie's life, but can't. This ties in with the theory that although Kenric wasn't a part of Project Moonlark, he was a part of the Black Swan. Kenric could have asked Oralie to donate DNA. Also, Kenric and Oralie together have been disproven, and Kenric has been disproven, but Oralie by herself was never disproven. Major foreshadowing.

If this is true, and Sophie found out, she couldn't tell the matchmakers. Oralie came SUPER close to being kicked off the Council in Neverseen, and they probably won't be as lenient the second time. Sophie cares about Oralie and wouldn't want to see her lose her job, so she would probably keep the secret. This means that she'll stay Unmatchable, which is part of Mr. Forkle's reason for Project Moonlark (ch. 1 of the Legacy excerpt).
