How Old Is Paimon in Genshin Impact?

The world of Genshin Impact is packed with playable characters of various types. If you’re a fan of Paimon, the Traveler’s constant companion, you might be wondering how old is Paimon in Genshin Impact. Since the game doesn’t explicitly mention character ages, here’s what we can estimate by piecing together lore, character designs and in-game interactions.

How Old is Paimon in Genshin Impact?

Paimon’s age in Genshin Impact is a mystery! There is no official information about it apart from her birthday which is June 1st.

Based on appearance itself, Paimon’s petite body and her childish way of speaking can hint that she’s perhaps between 5 and 9 years old. However, she also has knowledge and abilities that are beyond her years. According to Fandom, Paimon has implied that she is less than 400 years old.

Fan Theories and Speculations

There are quite a few fan theories about Paimon’s age hinting at her being a young immortal to a powerful ancient entity in disguise, but most point towards her being hundreds of years old.

Her child-like appearance could be an intentional decision to make her more relatable to young players. This is a common strategy in video games for mascots or companions, especially for comedic effects.

Some theories suggest that Paimon might be a powerful entity in a weakened state. Her childlike form is possibly due to using too much power already or because she’s sealed all that power.

Another theory is that Paimon’s memory loss is tied to her appearance. Regaining her memories might also restore her true form.

There’s speculation that Paimon could be immortal, and someone who chooses to appear as a child. This is similar to other characters who don’t seem to age despite having lived for a long time.

So, like most other characters in Genshin Impact, the exact age of Paimon isn’t known to keep up the enigma. If you would like to know the speculations regarding the ages of Scaramouche and Nilou as well, then be sure to head over to our linked articles.
