Maybe a later book will show us.

Well, it's the ones who appear to be sane that are really crazy.
Etherealists lose bits of themselves to their power, and need their clutter (?) to keep them functional.
Perhaps Cavendish has lost all of herself, and come out the other side twisted but functional.
I am reminded for some reason of Carcer, though I'm not sure why. They are pretty different people.
Carcer -- from
Night Watch, by Terry Pratchett.

Who knew what evil lurked in the hearts of men? A copper, that’s who. After ten years, you thought you’d seen it all, but the shadows always dished up more. You saw how close men lived to The Beast. You found that people like Carcer were not mad. They were incredibly sane. They were simply men without a shield. They’d looked at the world and realized that all the rules didn’t have to apply to them, not if they didn’t want them to. They weren’t fooled by all the little stories. They shook hands with The Beast.
