Paimon

Biodata

Appearance

• Small, floating figure: Paimon hovers beside Lumine and expresses herself through airborne gestures, including stamping her feet in midair 2 18.
• “White sprite”: Charlotte uses this description for her in a report about the pair’s experiences in Fontaine 33.

Personality

Paimon is talkative, expressive, and sensitive to teasing. Lumine identifies her as the one who usually talks the most, but even Paimon struggles to sustain Neuvillette’s awkward attempt at small talk. When livestream viewers laugh at the exchange, she protests that her on-screen self was trying hard and asks Lumine to defend her 15 16.

Food is a recurring source of excitement and comfort for her. A special menu helps her forget the day’s troubles, while cake and tea lift her spirits amid fears about Fontaine’s prophecy. She denies having a large appetite, only to immediately ask Amber to order extra food 18 24 25.

Despite her comic reactions, Paimon is attentive to other people’s distress. She offers help to the grieving Navia, praises what Navia has accomplished, and recognizes that Furina’s theatrical manner conceals guilt and concern for Fontaine’s citizens 8 27. She also feels guilty while watching her future self exploit Furina’s trust 30.

Paimon is frightened by sudden danger and the possibility of an unavoidable catastrophe. Her confidence rests heavily on Lumine: she says the Traveler is the person she trusts most and declares that even the end of the world would not frighten her if they were together 7 22 26.

Fontaine’s Flood and the Prophecy Ruins

• Leaving Meropide: Paimon suggests asking Wriothesley about a powerful tremor. After completing their release paperwork, she and Lumine leave to consult Neuvillette 4.

• Supporting Navia: She accompanies Navia to her father’s grave, offers assistance, and reassures her after the deaths of Melus and Silver 7 8.

• After learning about the opera-house riot, Paimon reasons that Furina will seek out Poisson because of her grief and guilt over its losses. The pair find her beside a river 27 28.

• Watching from the present, Paimon expresses guilt about the deception despite having no personal involvement in her future self’s actions 30.

The Trial and the Disaster’s Source

• After the Oratrice sentences the Hydro Archon to death, Paimon helps connect the recovered tablets to Fontainians’ Oceanid origins and the supposed original sin 40 41.
