Pride | From Deadly Sin to Tsundere

Pride, also known as the Keeper of the Vigil, is the de facto leader of the Seven Deadly Sins that were originally imprisoned by the Four Horseman many centuries before the Apocalypse. However, upon the End War's premature onset and the destruction of Humanity, Pride, along with her brethren, were freed and began to ravage the Earth and threaten the Balance she is also the secondary antagonist and the mandatory tenth and penultimate boss of the game.

For a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, Pride appears akin to an angel; having majestic gold armor, shining azure wings, long grey hair and an ornate mask. However, her open skirt that drags with her legs appear burned to black and shredded, while the crown hovering over her head appears cracked and broken, likely hinting at her true nature.

Behind the ornate mask supposedly hides a beautiful face, but in reality, it is a scarred one. Her scars drags down over her right eye to her lip.

In battle, Pride wields a large rune broadsword.

As the embodiment of the Deadly Sin of Pride, Pride herself is confident to a fault, as well as haughty, arrogant and contemptuous to everything besides herself. Pride doesn't even contemplate how the concept of pride is a sin. Likewise, she looks down upon her fellow sins, even though she is often considered their leader, as she does not care if they fall and make her the only Sin left.

As a testament to her arrogance, she considers everything in the Creator's design to be beneath her and her so-called light. Pride especially thought lowly of the Sin's hunter, Fury, calling her lowliest of the Horseman and unworthy to face her. Thus, she hoped to build something upon the shattered Earth worthy of her own greatness. She dubs her realm Aires, which had statues and stone carvings bearing her own likeness.

However, Pride's confidence and arrogance could be nothing but a facade to hide her own insecurity and shame over her appearance. Behind her mask lies a broken and scarred face which fills her with shame when Envy mockingly points it out which is a likely hint at the symbolism that overt pride is hollow and false. In addition, her own arrogance led her to be manipulated by her sister, the covetous Envy, leaving Pride to be at her mercy.

Despite her overarching sense of self-worth, Pride is by no means ignorant of the goings on of the world, as she is perceptive enough to recognize Fury's personal growth after accomplishing the task lain out before her, to the point of even going so far as to commend the Horsemen for her accomplishments. The Sin was also aware that the Universe is broken and the Charred Council are as much to blame as the warring factions of heaven and hell.

Pride also went as far as to state that the cosmic balance which everybody was fighting about was a faux pas, an existential lie used as a meager guideline which nobody really bothered to adhere to on the surface, which was something Pride pointed out to her pursuer when she voiced how someone along the way had lied to her, and how the Lord of Hollows knew it too; that someone being those who the Black Rider served had originally unleashed the Seven.

She also despite claiming the balance was a lie suggests for a chance for it to be true by giving the world direction through order making herself and Fury the balance the Earth deserves! To her they would be greatness!

She then stated that despite their adherence to Balance, Pride was very much aware that The Council was infected with her concept; they do not, in fact, have any real loyalty to the Balance they claim to serve and have been manipulating it from behind the scenes to their own ends. Pride eventually admitted that the Seven Deadly Sins, as a whole, only existed to debauch humanity. However, without any humanity to lead astray, Pride brings up the question of what purpose do she and her brothers & sisters serve at the time.
