I'm sure she was there in the crowd, we just didn't see her. For TLM it made sense since she hadn't been created yet.

There's actually a theory that she's and Urchin are the mothr of Alex (the blonde mermaid) Melody developed a crush on. Here are some signs.

Alex has a green tail, so does Urchin. Alex has blond hair, so does Urchin.

Alex has brown eyebrows, Gabriella has brown hair. Alex has green eyes, so does Gabriella.

Alex's hair style is similar to Gabriella's, maybe crossed with Urchin's. He also has darker streaks of blonde, almost brown, in his hair. Alex's skin color seems a little darker than most merfolks. Gabriella has dark skin and Urchin has light skin, so his is a blend of the two, like an interracial mix.

These are little pointers that creators make that are there for people to see if they know where to look without having to straight out say things. Very few Disney characters have unique features like this.
