Character History

Harleen Quinzel began as a psychology student aiming for the life of luxury a successful psychology writer would hold. Her fascination with the mind began in a very early stage of her life. Through high school, she was considered one of the brightest minds of her generation and began to gain her achievements to benefit her future in college.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as she had planned, her family was low on income and city living was becoming expensive. As more people began to leave them actually move out so did businesses. Harley took up a job as a waitress to get through college and vowed to gain that life which she had always yearned for. Her studies led her to explore the integrity and basic essence of the human mind. Human personality, perception, and behavior were only the fundamental subjects she had learned to analyze as if reading a book. She felt herself ready for her next step to glory- a subject.

Nearing the internship terms, Harley began to aggressively compete with her fellow hopefuls in gaining positions in places. Her attention was placed on Arkham Asylum after closely comparing the other places of choice. She felt that within these heavily guarded walls, those dark corridors, and those shady and notorious characters that seemed to infest the joint held her key to success. It took months of blackmail and sweet talking to finally reserve a position in Arkham as a beginning Psychologist student. Once it was announced, she set off to her 'dream job'.

When Harley passed through the walls of Arkham she was warned to be careful with many patients of the asylum- a rookie like her could easily fall in the traps these 'professionals' tended to plant. Unfortunately, Harleen felt herself ready for anything and with this stead-fast thought she plunged into Arkham at full force. Dr. Quinzel ravaged and searched through every patient log trying to find a suitable patient for her over all plan: writing a book on their notorious deeds and their mental states. Things like that seemed to be a big thing with the ignorant audience.

A few days into the job she was surprised to find a single flower in a slender purple vase with a card on her office. The card was initialed with the letter 'J'- she could only assume that perhaps a co-worker had done such a deed. To her surprise it was one of the patient's.

This rather curious individual called himself Joker. Dr. Quinzel became highly interested in this subject. She Had not yet fully understood his complete story or the reasons of his being here but the fact that he could get out of his cell with out getting caught was astounding. No matter how illegal her silence was she felt that he was the one who would make her rich. He humbly gave himself up for her studies.

It took a few more months for Dr. Quinzel to fully understand the mind of Joker. She went through medical records, criminal records, even tried to find records of an unknown childhood. No matter how deep she got, how much she learned, there were always blank pieces of the puzzle- she couldn't find a reason to the madness. Once she felt ready to confront him face to face in a one on one session, she set off with a notepad and a pen.

There was nothing she did not know, his charecter, his personality, his ambitions- everything was jotted down in endless pages of reports. Nothing could have stopped her from surviving the sessions except the Joker had more then one trick up his sleeve. It all began when he told her a heart breaking tale of his fathers ungratefulness and his mothers abandonment. Her heart was shattered into pieces at his pain. She no longer looked upon this man as a criminal but a poor and defenseless angel trying to find his place in the society that did not except him due to his deformities. Slowly and gradually, session by session, Dr. Harleen Quinzel became madly in love with him.

The day came when she confessed her feelings to him and he responded in an understandable way making her cherish their friendship even more- it was then that things went downhill for her. Harleen Quinzel was now called Harley Quinn.

A few weeks later, Joker escaped Arkham and was returned by Batman in a bad state- the young woman was devastated, she had to get him out of there. She dressed herself up as a harlequin and infiltrated Arkham helping Joker escape. He took her in as a henchmen which later led to a rocky romance. No matter how many times he hit her, scream at her, or try to kill her, he was always her puddin'.

Separation

There was a period where Harley left Joker due to a dispute. Although she desperately loves him, he always tends to make things seem like he doesn't making her extremely mad- to the point of rebellion. She was taken in by Poison Ivy who in turn helped her through this time of 'crisis'.

Harley alone was an exceptional adversary but Ivy gave her treatment's that enabled her to become immune to toxins, made her more agile and enhanced her strength and speed in order to give her a higher edge on Batman and Joker. Together they became partners in crime robbing and punishing those who were against them. Through these months Harley and Ivy became really close friends. Even after Harley ran back into Jokers arms Ivy stayed very close to Harley- almost like a big sister- even though she disliked Joker with a passion.

Batman & Joker

While her complete devotion to the Joker is commonly known and almost tangibly seen, her affiliation with Batman is rather shifty. She does not hate him yet she can not like him due to the fact that the love of her life (not to mention her boss) is his arch enemy. This can also be reffered to other affiliations.

Her personality easily swayed from a fiery young woman to that of a young and dangerous woman who's gone bonkers. She does not hate yet she does not like- mutual is the best way to describe it- as if they were there to deliberately be against each other.
Character Abilities

Psychoanalytical Knowledge
Due to the many years she devoted to the study of psychology, Harley can easily read actions and behaviors of others giving her an edge on her opponents. This has also made her a quick thinker which tends to help a lot when stuck in difficult situations. Although it can't always be said the other way around- her thoughts and concentration can be broken by the mere mention of Joker.

Agility and Fighting Skills
Harley possesses and above-average agility and fighting skill that makes her a worthy opponent. She has the works of a professional gymnast and has more then proven her ability to be one. She also has talents in acrobatics. Harley tends to carry about random 'joke-ish' weapons that are used more as a means of giving her a small window of opportunity when her gadgets catch them off guard.

Immunity, Stamina, and Strength
During the time of partnership with Poison Ivy, she was injected with an anti-toxin serum which made her immune to almost every toxin imaginable. This also enhanced her strength making her abnormally strong and agile while also enhancing her speed. Her stamina was multiplied as a consequence.

Sanity
Unlike Joker, Harley has the ability to be somewhat 'sane' enough to pass as an innocent person. Again, her understanding of the human mind makes her very accessible to know what can trigger sympathy and trust in others. In many cases, she acts sane in order to trick others or to get away from a tricky situation. Any other time would mean she was 'enlightened' on her misjudgments on the Joker making her irascible and deeply depressed.

Weakness's: In all generality, anything that has to do with the Joker, if he's hurt, if he's sick, if his life is in danger, if he doesn't love her- Joker seems to be the center of her universe. At times, the simple mentioning of his name in a battle will spare the life of her adversary. She'd be willing to give her life for
