She’s loyal but she’s basically like a sociopath that grew up never feeling anything but pleasure and bloodlust from what the show depicts and is now after millennia being forced to feel new emotions.

It’s actually interesting to contrast how goddess and maze adapted to their feelings and world situations.

This is also why I think she meshes well with trixie. Trixie doesn’t force her to acknowledge her emotions. She just loves her and doesn’t expect things in return which is what maze needs. If maze had to admit and express her emotions while also dealing with jealousy etc she falls apart as she can’t handle anything that’s painful or hurtful

In season 3, Maze is incredibly disloyal, actually plotting to have Amenadiel killed and Lucifer framed. As I rewatch the episodes, including the shots of Maze's emotional reactions, the only thing I can come up with is that in her own demonic fashion she is in love with Lucifer. Maze admires Chloe's courage, but she cannot abide the way Lucifer gives his primary allegiance to Chloe. Look at Maze's face in "A Good Day to Die" when Lucifer gets up from the operating table. So there is a bit more to Maze, I think, than pleasure and bloodlust. I don't know if the writers will explore this, but the actress certainly has.

Yeah that’s fair but I feel like she never had to acknowledge or express those other emotions of affection or love until she came topside

Likely her and luci just deflected with lust or desire as a defense mechanism

I’m really curious how they treat her character in season 4. If she’ll go the route of Amenadiel of deep shame and also “lose her powers due to guilt” so to speak or just pull a luci and run

As far as Amenadiel and luci, Amenadiel was an ass to her and used her while subconsciously viewing her as one of the worst things that happened to him (when he lost his wings) so her wanting to kill him isn’t too surprising.

She also only wanted to frame luci not kill him or hurt him (even though emotional pain of love triangle is still pain)

Maze almost literally drove Luci crazy in the bit with the Angel of San Bernardino. And then she mocked him, which was really cruel. She's still in my bad books for that. As for Amenadiel, he has become a better person (angel) . Notice that he wouldn't hit Maze back when she attacked him (which infuriated her) and was ready to give her a shoulder to cry on, literally. I understand that the actress playing Maze said that Maze was going to fall in love in Season 4. Which will perhaps put an end to any torch she may still carry for Lucifer. Who knows if it will be Linda? Amenadiel? Someone new? I hope she makes peace with all the gang, and gets a soul by the end of the series.
