Dark Type Pal, Neutral Type Pal, Flight, Telekinesis. The turning point for Saya comes with the arrival of Selyne, a Pal that is only sometimes seen after a meteor falls on the Palpagos islands, who she now reveres as the "incarnation of the crescent moon" and the "blade of beginnings." Selyne's presence lifts the perpetual darkness that has weighed on Saya for so long, offering hope and clarity. Saya sees Selyne as a sign of the end of their stagnant existence, signaling the long-awaited beginning of change. Selyne can not only move objects and herself with the power of its mind, but can also use its celestial energy to shoot energy beams and blasts, being able to move its crescent-like gem with its mind and discharge a big, powerful crescent-shaped beam from it. And those are just some examples of what Selyne can do with its telekinesis and celestial energy.)

Backstory:

Palworld is a Pokémon-like survival game about catching magical monsters called "Pals" with Pal spheres to turn them from enemies to allies that help the player to survive and explore everything the game has to offer.

Saya Kurosaki was born in the Palpagos islands, an archipelago isolated from the rest of the world from where few manage to enter no one can ever escape, where magical creatures known as "Pals" inhabit it instead of animals. She's the leader, but not founder, of the Moonflower Clan, a ninja clan that resides on the island of Sakurajima (one of the Palpagos islands), zealously defending their home from outsiders.

Saya and her people have protected the island's mysterious tower, the Moonflower Tower, for ages, though they no longer remember why. Their mission is to preserve the island’s timeless state, hunting those they perceive as threats: the madmen from the snowy mountains who call themselves the Pal Genetic Research Unit and any invader who threatens Sakurajima's equilibrium. These invaders seek to disrupt the island's delicate balance, but Saya’s group ensures they never succeed.

Sakurajima has an environment typical of what you'd expect from an island based on Japan's nature, with pink leaf cherry trees in the heart of the land, where the Moonflower Clan resides in a small village with typical japanese houses. Around the area with the pink trees, there's a normal looking green forest, and the borders of Sakurajima are basically all beaches, except for the south, which is a swamp.

Saya’s reflections on the moon mirror her existential despair. The unchanging full moon is a constant reminder of their eternal stasis. However, her fascination with the "crescent moon" was sparked by an outsider who once washed ashore and spoke of a world beyond Palpagos, where the moon waxes and wanes. This outsider’s words left a deep impression, symbolizing the possibility of change in a place where time feels frozen.

Saya notices the growing chaos among neighboring groups, including the increasingly aggressive group of the volcanic regions called the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre, now embroiled in a bloody conflict with the Pal Genetic Research Unit. Though this turmoil benefits Sakurajima by diverting attention away from the island, Saya fears the escalating violence may eventually taint their land.

Before Selyne, Saya found herself unable to enjoy her daily japanese sake, which she used, other than for cultural reasons, to intoxicate herself in alcohol and ignore her depressive state. But after her Pal's arrival, for the first time in years, she found her sake "incredibly delightful," signifying her desire for change and how she sees Selyne as a sign of its approach.

There are other groups in the Palpagos islands other than the Moonflower Clan, the Pal Genetic Research Unit and the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre. The Rayne Syndicate, the Free Pal Alliance (FPA), the Palpagos Island Defense Force (PIDF), The Pal Genetic Research Unit and the Feybreak Warriors are their names. With the only ones that are not unnecessarily cruel being the Feybreak Warriors, the Moonflower Clan and the Free Pal Alliance, even though quite a few FPA members have been seen being hypocrites and imprisoning and selling Pals for money.

There are also villages with non-violent people, but some of the groups often explore or even kill them. Many people also try their luck living as wandering merchants, some of them selling more illegal products than others. And at last, but not least, there are the Pal tamers, people who try to live by catching Pals and using them for their own purposes of mostly survival, with some tamers from time to time trying to invade and take one of the towers after hearing about their power, though none was ever able to succeed.

There are other towers just like the one Saya is always protecting, each one with different names and leaders from other groups guarding them. Whatever power the towers are keeping sealed is frightening enough for all groups to vow to defend them solemnly since entire generations ago.

Even though Saya knows Ninjutsu, she usually doesn't fight herself, letting Selyne do the work since the Pal's powers are a lot more efficient. She merely sits on the big gem that always follows Selyne, watching and guiding her Pal.
