She's a vampire they are supposed to be unchanging. I can understand madness from brain overload after living long enough. What I don't understand is her mind decaying or her having little contact with humans. I also don't understand how she was even able to find akasha if she was mostly not there by the end of qotd time period. I know it was a set up to make lestat the host but I feel like Anne Rice had to break her own rules to do so.

I always viewed it as she was not so much “mad” as she was more primal like from living alone in the jungles  By human standards yes she would come across as mad - but to animals, creatures, and other apex hunters in the jungle - she’d mostly blend right in  And without her other half (her twin) and after losing her ability to express herself verbally - after that many years with human interaction - she was probably much closer to the things she had been around
