Background

Paimon travels with Lumine while Lumine searches for her lost brother, Sora. When Shen Fei arrives in Teyvat, Paimon immediately asks whether he knows anything about Sora, acting on the chance that another outsider may have encountered him. 2034

Her origins are a persistent mystery. Shen Fei initially considers whether she could be the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles or the Heavenly Principles herself; after encountering the Sustainer, he rules out the former. He later confirms that Paimon is Phanes reincarnated after severe injuries made normal recovery difficult. 2060 2066 2254

Despite this hidden nature, Paimon is treated as an unprecedented lifeform by others. Shen Fei's investigation finds no records of anyone seeing her before she began traveling with Lumine, even though she possesses extensive knowledge of Teyvat's nations. 2109

Appearance

Paimon is a small, floating, humanoid-like being. Her unusual physiology and ability to speak frequently cause unfamiliar creatures and people to question what she is. 2034 2138

• Constantly travels by flying rather than walking. 2034
• Small enough to be carried on Shen Fei's cloud alongside a Fungi Beast. 2139
• Describes herself simply as “Paimon” when asked about her species. 2335

Personality

Paimon is outspoken, inquisitive, and prone to voicing the questions others leave unasked. This tendency earns her the nickname “Mouth of God,” particularly during investigations and historical explorations. 2092 2094

Food and treasure are her greatest motivators. She becomes excited by treasure maps, hidden relics, contest prizes, and the prospect of meals, though her interest in wealth is usually tied to buying or enjoying food. 2112 2123 2214

She can be impulsive and easily frightened by ghosts or sudden gore, but she is compassionate toward victims of injustice, endangered creatures, and people facing loss. She reacts strongly to the Sun Child's fate, worries about Elder Almond's fading condition, and becomes angry at the exploitation of Fungi Beasts. 2095 2198 2146

Abilities & Skills

Flight

Paimon can freely hover and fly, allowing her to keep pace with Lumine and Shen Fei across Teyvat. 2034 2139

Exceptional Constitution

Paimon's body is unusual even by Teyvat's standards. Shen Fei observes that she is unaffected by harmful Abyssal and Ley Line energies that would make ordinary travel with Lumine dangerous. 2147

• Consumes Shen Fei's food, pills, and even a Nine Aperture Golden Pill with no visible long-term physical improvement. 2074 2199 2319
• The Nine Aperture Golden Pill makes her feel empowered, though she remains physically weak in practice. 2074 2226

Combat Limitations
