Paimon is a fairy-like being who accompanies the Traveler (Aether/Lumine) throughout their adventure in Teyvat as their guide. She met them after they fished her out of the sea, saving her life. Her past before the events of the game and meeting the Traveler is quite an enigma, with even Paimon herself unable to remember it's details. She serves as the mascot of Genshin Impact and is used as the icon for the app, official websites, and social media accounts.
She is very bubbly, outgoing and caring with a love for food and mora but can also be rude and blunt, giving people she doesn't like "ugly nicknames". She has a multitude of nicknames herself, including "Emergency Food" from the Traveler (which became a popular recurring gag) and "Flying Lavender Melon" from Arataki Itto. Her birthday is on June 1st (shared with Arataki Itto) which is International Children's Day.
