Quotes
- Lumine – “Lisa and Amber feel a bit like sisters.”
- Paimon – “Huh? Why's that?”
- Lumine – “Amber often runs errands for Lisa. Older siblings asking their younger siblings to do things for them so that they can slack off is a rather common practice... But my brother and I are the same age, so we had to decide these things via rock-paper-scissors.”
- Paimon – “Whoa. So, doesn't that make you my younger sister?”
- Lumine – “What do you mean?”
- Paimon – “Well, since Paimon floats, you're the only one who can "run" any errands!”
- Lumine – “...Seriously?”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about Sisters
- Lumine – “Speaking of Fischl, she also claims to be a "visitor from another world"... We're similar in that way. We even bring a pet along with us.”
- Paimon – “Pet? Now, wait just a minute, here...”
- Lumine – “But her raven, Oz... He looks cool, and is polite to boot. More importantly, he can both scout and fight — very useful indeed. Maybe I should make arrangements with Fischl to trade companions once in a while for, say, a week or two at a time. It should be quite interesting.”
- Paimon – “Hey! Doesn't Paimon get a say in this!?”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about Pets
- Paimon – “It's hard to talk about the recent events in Inazuma and not mention the Vision Hunt Decree. But you don't have a Vision, so you don't have to worry about losing one. On the flip side, if you are caught by the Tenryou Commission, Lumine, you also can't surrender your Vision in exchange for your life...”
- Lumine – “I can tell them that you are my Vision.”
- Paimon – “Another reason to have Paimon around... Wait, WHAT!?”
- Lumine – “Don't worry, I wouldn't let them take you, Paimon.”
- Paimon – “That's more like it.”
- Lumine – “We'd just go to jail and suffer punishment together...”
- Paimon – “Uh... W—Well, if that's how it would go down, then maybe you should hand me over to them... Wait a minute! How about we just don't get caught in the first place?”
- — Lumine's Voiceine about the Vision Hunt Decree
- Paimon – “Only the ones who have the will to fight back are allowed into the Resistance! Huh. In that case, Paimon also qualifies as a member.”
- Lumine – “And what exactly are you trying to resist, Paimon?”
- Paimon – “Paimon has been resolutely fighting against the fate of being squished all this time!”
- Lumine – “Then you probably won't get in.”
- Paimon – “Why? Is it because Paimon isn't fighting for the same cause as the Resistance?”
- Lumine – “It's because you're fighting for a lost cause, I'm afraid...”
- Paimon – “*sob* Y—You meanie!”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about the Resistance
- Paimon – “Tanuki are really mysterious creatures.”
- Lumine – “I think they are really cute.”
- Paimon – “Yeah, they're cute... until they start talking.”
- Lumine – “Hmm, I wonder... If you couldn't talk, would you appear to be more mysterious and noble?”
- Paimon – “Are you trying to mock me?”
- Lumine – “*randomly humming innocently*”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about Tanuki
Fanon

There are currently 95 gen fanfictions that includes the two on Archive of Our Own.
There's also a popular theory that Paimon is the unknown god due to the fact Paimon's appearance is also a bit similar to the unknown god.
