This is written as if she’s relating the flashback to someone not yet depicted here. Another pixie, based on “we are not a large people”. And not one of her family, since the other party pronounced “that” correctly, yesterday.
On another note, since Kathryn observed the short hair, black wings, and sword aligned with Cygnus, but did NOT suggest that Marie had just become Soleil, it seems to me that time travel is something that not even a mad scientist considers plausible in this universe.
So, Marie can say “the” properly when she’s quoting, just like how Selkie loses her pluralses when she’s reading.
