I have a question about Marika

There is something I didn't understand. I'm the base game she is stated to be a numen, and numens are stated to come from outside the lands between. But after playing SOTE we find out about her native village and her people there. I personally take as granted that the shadow lands are technically part of the lands between so don't the two informations contradict each other? It's really the only thing I can't understand. Can you help me? Is it a bad translation from japanese? I got confused somewhere?
