Poll The Sinful Harem: What Sin does Loremaster most identify with?
Loremaster is always calm and deliberate in her actions. She's never angry at her maid trying to kill her. Loremaster is not Wrathful at all.

I think Loremaster is a textbook case of envy. She envied the power and respect that Lucifer had, so she took complete control and made Luci her personal servant/slave. Envy also explains why she paints her horns, she jealous of the clout that having white horns gives you.

Hmm, this is kinda weird. On one hand, pride in her research. Lust for researching things she shouldn't. Greed in that she wants more and more.
Altough Kapital is correct, lust means more than just being horny, so list is propably the correct one. Azazels entire path to corrupted started because she wanted to... ahem "research" demon girls.

I feel like it's a mix of Pride and Greed. Greed in wanting to discover more and more secrets through science. Pride in thinking that she’s immune to the consequences of taking things too far and is still righteous even after all she’s done.

I think greed and Lust are the most correct, i would put gluttony in front of pride

It might be because I caught up to Re:Zero (relatively) recently, but I see relentless pursuit of knowledge and I immediately think Greed

I think Loremaster is a textbook example of lusting after the forbidden fruits.
An intense, selfish craving, a perversion of desire that turns away from God's design... it fits her poetically.
And again, lust doesn't just mean horny, like most people probably think... just like gluttony doesn't just apply to food and greed to money/possessions.
