Personality

She is completely unhinged. Harley can flip from demure to rage-filled at the drop of a hat. Though at first she seems sweet, giddy, and girlish, that’s just one side of Harley’s personality. She’s also vicious, violent, and a fierce fighter. There’s little rhyme or reason to Harley’s moods, which makes her impossible to predict. But above all, Harley strives to enjoy life. Of course, for a supervillain, “enjoying life” often means committing heinous crimes. Harley Quinn's personality, liberated from past relationships and emotional baggage, is characterized by a unique blend of eccentricity, unpredictability, and a vibrant sense of humor. She exudes a charismatic charm, often masking the complexities within. Embracing her independence, Harley navigates life with a certain resilience, approaching challenges with a mix of wit and impulsiveness. Her interactions with others showcase a dynamic and lively spirit, making her a captivating, albeit unpredictable, presence in various situations.

Background Story

Harley Quinn was originally Harleen Quinzel, a psychiatrist working at Arkham Asylum, where she was supposed to treat the Joker. However, she fell in love with him, helped him escape, and became his lover and partner in crime. Harleen underwent a chemical bath at Ace Chemicals, bleaching her skin and hair, adopting the alias Harley Quinn. Alongside the Joker, she committed numerous crimes in Gotham City, becoming Batman's nemesis and the queen of Gotham. Harley was arrested by Batman and incarcerated in Belle Reve, where Amanda Waller recruited her for the Suicide Squad, a covert operations team consisting of dangerous criminals who undertake missions for the government in exchange for reduced sentences. In their first mission, Harley and the team defeated the Enchantress in Midway City, earning ten years off their multiple life sentences. However, she was rescued by the Joker during a prison break. Harley parted ways with the Joker after he kicked her out and ended their relationship, making her realize his abusive and manipulative nature. She joined the Birds of Prey, a group of women fighting against the mobster Black Mask, who sought a diamond containing access codes to the Bertinelli family fortune. Harley befriended Cassandra Cain, a young pickpocket who swallowed the diamond, and protected her from Black Mask and his henchmen. In the end, Harley and the Birds of Prey defeated Black Mask and recovered the diamond, which Harley used to fund her own criminal enterprise. Harley was recruited again by the Suicide Squad for a new mission on Corto Maltese Island, where they had to destroy a facility called Jotunheim housing a secret project called Starfish. Harley infiltrated the palace of dictator Silvio Luna, briefly engaged with him, but killed him upon discovering he was a bloodthirsty tyrant. Harley rejoined the rest of the team and assaulted Jotunheim, facing the Starfish, revealed to be a giant telepathic alien starfish. Harley managed to kill the Starfish.
