I'm confused here. Are you arguing that Riliane was never possessed by the Demon of Pride? Because we have ample evidence that that was not the case, especially going by Prim and Elluka's testimony. (Not to mention you seem to take being "a little bit arrogant/bratty" as equaling "beheading someone for looking at you funny." There was definitely a change in her behavior, and it was for the worse.) Ney/Abyss forced the demon into her and, according to the gluttony demon, Pride doesn't even care if it has the consent if its host or not--so that's why she never made a contract.

Furthermore, it's the fact that she doesn't know she's possessed that explains why she never used the power. (Actually, Kyle never used it either--the demon of pride forced the transformation, and presumably it didn't see the need to do so with Riliane.) After she was dethroned, the demon could have been removed or got bored and left on its own. The demon of Pride doesn't seem to have powers outside of the demon transformation too.

Or are you saying that she doesn't count as the showcased host for Pride in the Seven Deadly Sins Series? (Because "Sinner" is a fan term and has no bearing on canon.) That can't be the case either. Her song was labeled as the "Pride" song in the series. <o< So if you're saying we're going to get another Pride song, I am extremely doubtful. It seems more like mothy wanted to do a thing where the song of pride, getting its own series, takes a lot of exceptions to the trends the other arcs experience.

And the dying thing can't really be claimed as a point when Kayo and the host for Wrath are also not shown as dying due to their evil activities. ;) That's three of the hosts out of seven, it's a pretty big percentage.

Also for your point about Riliane not having any mirror, it's wrong. We don't see it on screen, but Leonhart and Allen mention her having a mirror when Allen assassinates him.
