Paimon is clearly "divine", which in Genshin means she's connected to Celestia and the Primordial One. Paimon is divine because of her celestial motifs, her crown, and the fact that she floats.

Paimon probably isn't a shade, but she may be shade-adjacent as a direct creation of the Primordial One.

I have had to remind people multiple times when complaining about the shades and their design that one of them, which looks very similar to the others, was in the opening of the fucking game. You should have known what you were signing up for.
The bought account thing makes a lot of sense.
