Poe (Japanese: ポー Poe) is a character introduced in, and currently exclusive to, the Fire Emblem Cipher trading card game. Poe is the eighth original character introduced into the Cipher trading card game whose first two cards are of Fódlan allegiance.

As Poe was introduced to Cipher after the release of the Cipher Companions DLC pack for Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Poe does not appear in that DLC, and as such has yet to appear in a video game in the Fire Emblem series.
Fire Emblem Cipher
Role
Like the other characters original to Cipher, Poe participates in the Cipher column of the Japanese official site. As the eighth of the game's mascots, she has not been around since the start, her first appearance on the official site is in the 49th column. Her first appearance in the Cipher TCG as a card is in series eighteen, Oratorio of Departure.
Poe is featured on seven cards in Fire Emblem Cipher.

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.
