Why does no one remark on how odd it is that she refuses to return to the star, and the potential reasons behind it? Or that her innate genius may have led to a form of arrogance resulting in such terrible decisions?

There is plenty there to make Venat a more fleshed out and ambiguous character, and yet they do nothing with it, which I take more issue with than her being "too" gifted.
I was under the impression that what made her different from the others is that like our Azem, she actually wandered around the world and experienced things. Most of the Convocation rarely if ever left Amaurot. Unless we were specifically chosen to replace Venat as Azem due to being equally batty, I think actually going to the world and meeting people and doing things down there affected the outlooks for both Azems.

I'm hoping for a Tales from the Dawn that will go into this and I'm at least expecting something from Venat's point of view, considering how important she is to the story and already had Hades and Elidibus' POVs in the Tales. Though I'm sure this thread or another will explode no matter what's written in it anyway.
