Paimon

Biodata

Background / History

The Transmigration Management Bureau gives Paimon a backstory in which she accompanied Aether through Teyvat’s Seven Nations, survived the final battle, and departed with him on another journey. The Marvel world is their first destination after leaving Teyvat within that assigned history 3.

Lin Ze chooses the Genshin Impact cheat after recognizing its Paimon doll. Its character-pulling feature remains locked until he completes Paimon’s prerequisite quest; before then, his available combat talent is limited to Anemo. Upon entering the mission as Aether, he finds Paimon trapped in a sand dune and digs her out 2.

Appearance

Paimon appears as a small, childlike girl who normally floats rather than walks. Tony compares Qiqi’s apparent age with hers, judging Qiqi to look about the same age or slightly younger 2 12 27.

• Small stature: Lin Ze frequently carries her, and she can hide inside a supply crate 5 27.
• White dress: She selects a detailed, relatively inexpensive white dress during a shopping trip with Steve Rogers 31.
• Doll form: She reverts to a doll when Lin Ze returns to the Transmigration Management Bureau 10.

Personality

Paimon is emotionally young and easily frightened by danger, particularly when separated from the Traveler. After their reunion in the terrorist cave, she cries that he had promised never to leave her behind again. Nevertheless, her attachment also drives her to act bravely: she follows his captors alone and accepts a sleepless night if it means rescuing him sooner 5 7 8.

Her enthusiasm for food does not override her concern for others. Despite being hungry in the desert, she offers her Sunsettias back to Lin Ze because she worries about their supplies. Later, she notices his tearful expression and asks whether he is all right 3 27.

She enjoys dresses, playgrounds, and good meals, but becomes indignant when teased or underestimated. Lucy’s claim that she has never seen impressive fireworks offends her because she attends Liyue’s Lantern Rite with the Traveler every year. When Wade calls her a “flying diaper,” she retaliates by naming him “Rotten Walnut” 28 31 32 50.

Abilities & Skills

Flight

• Hovering and movement: Paimon floats freely and secretly follows the men carrying the unconscious Traveler to their cave 2 5.
• Concealment: Tony places her on a rock above the surveillance camera, keeping her outside its view 7.
• Scouting: She flies higher to investigate distant lights near Xavier’s school 48.
• Speed limit: She cannot keep pace with Tony’s escaping armor and must ride with the group 9.
• Public restriction: She agrees not to fly around other people to avoid attracting attention. Her lack of walking experience leaves her markedly unsteady on foot 27 28.

Unusual Perception

• Anemo recognition: She senses the Traveler’s familiar Anemo power before he calls to her during their reunion 8.
• Stone Gate visibility: She can see the return gate and its surrounding clouds, while Tony and Yinsen cannot 10.

Doll Reversion

• Paimon returns to doll form at the Bureau, then appears as an active companion when Lin Ze reenters the mission world 10.

Response to Sedatives

• Nicole’s cupcake contains sleeping pills, but Paimon remains fully alert after eating it 33 34.
• An injected sedative subsequently renders her unconscious; the cupcake incident does not establish complete immunity to drugs 34.

Equipment / Items

• White dress — Purchased by Steve during their visit to a children’s clothing store 31.
• Tracking device — Attached by Steve before the fireworks operation so he can monitor her location 33.

Relationships

• Lin Ze / Aether — Her trusted companion and protector, whom she consistently addresses as “Traveler.” Lin Ze comes to regard her as family as his synchronization with Aether increases 3 8 32.
• Ho Yinsen — A protective, fatherlike figure who comes to see her as a daughter. Caring for her renews his desire to live, and she promises to miss him when they part 7 10.
• Tony Stark — Shelters her in captivity and advances his escape preparations partly for her safety. He carries her during the escape and joins the search after the desert crash 5 7 9.
• Steve Rogers — Provides food, lodging, and clothing. Paimon enjoys playing with him, while he initially objects to using her as bait and later tracks the operation 28 31 32 33.
• Sally — Paimon comforts her over Otilia’s disappearance and supplies the lead connecting Lucy to the suspected trafficking operation 31 32.
• Lucy and Nicole — Trafficking-ring participants who approach her with candy, a fireworks invitation, and a drugged cupcake. Nicole ultimately sedates her by injection 31 32 33 34.
• Wade — Exchanges insults with her at Xavier’s school; she rejects his “flying diaper” nickname and calls him “Rotten Walnut” 50.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Terrorist Cave Escape

After armed men ambush them in the desert and the Traveler loses consciousness, Paimon hides, follows his captors, and infiltrates their base inside a crate. Tony and Yinsen discover her and accelerate their armor assembly to rescue her companion and protect her 3 4 5 7.

She reunites with Lin Ze after he saves Yinsen, then escapes with all three men. Their flight ends in a desert crash, leaving her buried in a separate mound of sand. After she emerges unharmed, she and Lin Ze depart through the Stone Gate; she returns with him to the same desert on his next mission 8 9 10.

New York and the Trafficking Investigation

Following Lin Ze’s killing of Obadiah, Paimon accompanies him in search of food. With no usable local currency, they accept Steve’s help and stay at his apartment. Her stumble over his shield allows Lin Ze to recognize him as Captain America 26 27 28.

At the park, her encounter with Lucy gives Sally a lead to her missing daughter. Paimon agrees to act as bait at the fireworks show, trusting the Traveler to protect her. The traffickers seize and sedate her, but Lin Ze and Steve dismantle the operation and rescue the children. Paimon gives a police statement before later leaving the world with Lin Ze 31 32 33 34 35 36.

Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters

Paimon suggests visiting Xavier’s school after hearing about it from Jane. She and Lin Ze become lost, then investigate distant lights after hearing a child scream. They arrive during the removal of children by helicopter and enter the bloodied school building, where Lin Ze encounters Wade 48 49.

Initially frightened by Wade’s scarred face, Paimon becomes confrontational once she realizes he is human and hears his insult 50.
