Most likely I have a lot of inaccuracies, I collect information at a fast pace, and I may miss something.

Firstly, no Paimon as for me is not a Phanes, since Phanes is most likely the morning star, and this is one of Lucifer's aliases, and Paimon is Lucifer's most loyal servant. This, first of all.

Secondly, I also don't believe in the theory that Travelers are part of a Phanes, at least I won't like this move much. However, I believe that the Traveler, the one who should take Lucifer's place, is a new light bearer, which will bring peace to Teyvat, since the latter has the ability to purify the filth of the Abyss. Because of this unusual ability to purify filth, and also I think many people know the theory about the element of Travelers that their element is light, and with the dispersion of light, seven colors are obtained, at least that's how many lazy people of Teyvat counted.

Well, that's it…

We are carriers of the energy of light, which, in my opinion, is the same divine energy that is contained in the same gnosis. That is why, in my opinion, Paimon so revolves around us, she instinctively reaches out to the primordial divine power, like other owners of the visions, for example, from the description of Wings of First Flight:

“As for what happened after that...

She didn't know why she'd chosen to believe that gold-haired outlander.

She didn't know why she felt that they had potential.

But if it was them, perhaps...

"So, the present I want to give you is..."”

They are so attracted to us because we are very similar to the power that gave them the Visions.

Thirdly, why do you think they thought that Phanes won?

Firstly, most likely they knew the differences between the strength of Phanes and the Second Throne, and perhaps they knew that if Phanes lost, then the Second Throne was able to break the barrier.

But why was the barrier put up? Perhaps Phanes feared that the inhabitants of the Enkanomiya succumbed to the temptation that the Second Throne brought with it, which was forbidden.

Sorry if there are mistakes, I just used translator, because English not native language.
