The teenage queen of the planet Xahea, known as Po, a brilliant engineer who befriends Sylvia Tilly in the Short Trek Runaway and later helps the Discovery against Control.
Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, called Po, is a Xahean played by Yadira Guevara-Prip. She is introduced in Runaway, the first Short Treks episode, as a stowaway aboard the USS Discovery on the eve of her coronation.
Po has found a way to recrystallise dilithium, an invention that would make her mineral-rich world enormously important, and she has fled out of fear for what that will bring. Ensign Tilly finds her, wins her trust and quietly sends her home to take the throne.
She returns in the two parts of Such Sweet Sorrow, where Tilly calls on her skills to help power the time crystal for the Red Angel suit. She then joins the battle against Control's fleet in a small craft.
