Personality

Poe is a bright and polite young woman whose cheery personality belies her strong sense of justice and distaste for Boundless Chaos. She is stated in Dengeki Nintendo to be ruthless and unhesitating with perceived evildoers. She is seemingly devout, describing herself as a humble servant of the Divine[1].

She has a longstanding rivalry with Niamh, and the two are stated to have fought viciously many times—fights which are implied to have been started by Poe for Niamh's association with Boundless Chaos[2].

Ending

Cipher

Poe vanished in her hunt for evil, and her whereabouts remain unknown. However, according to the afterword of “A Compendium of Cipher Decks,” she and Niamh have since fought to the death on many an occasion.

Trivia

  • Despite debuting in a Fódlan-centric series, Poe's self-identification as an exchange student and her epithet "Outlander of Flowers and Light" (花と光の異邦人) implies that she is not native to the continent.
