SKILLS/POWERS/SPECIAL ABILITIES: (in your own words) Harley is agile, and a compatent fighter, she's also pretty good with explosives and is immune to toxins thanks to Poison Ivy. Beyond that....Its her own unique brand of crazy
BRIEF BACKGROUND SUMMARY:

Harleen Quinzel was a psychiatric intern at Arkham Asylum. Despite receiving high grades in college, she was not a particularly intellectual or strong-minded woman, having only gotten through college by seducing her professors. While researching the lunatics at Arkham, she became fascinated with one particular inmate. Ambitiously volunteering to analyze him, she fell in love nearly instantly with the Joker during their sessions. After helping him escape from the asylum more than once Harleen was suspected by the authorities, who revoked her license and placed her in her own cell. During an earthquake in Gotham City, she fled and became Harley Quinn, the sidekick to the Clown Prince of Crime himself, The Joker.

Quinn's relationship with the Joker could only be described as "abusive": he yells at her, beats her (usually within an inch of her life) and abandons her whenever she becomes inconvenient or annoying, but she always comes back for more, convinced that he truly loves her and that his violence is "just a joke." The Joker, an expert manipulator, always knows just when to turn on the charm when he once again needs her.

One time, the Joker grew tired of Quinn, and he sent her off on a rocket. She crash landed in Robinson Park in the center of Gotham and was found by Poison Ivy. When Harley regains consciousness, Ivy initially plans to kill her. The prospect of her own death totally fails to move Harley, and Ivy is curious as to why. She convinces Harley to tell her story, and comes to feel a kinship with Harley. Considering her another castoff, Ivy offers to help Harley take her revenge on both Batman and the Joker. Ivy took her back to her lair in a toxic waste dump and nursed her back to health. This included injecting Harley with a serum that Ivy had developed which has given Harley that immunizes her to various assorted toxins and Ivy's own poisonous touch and also dramatically enhances Harley's strength and speed. Ivy intends this to give her new friend an edge on Batman and the Joker. Quinn and Ivy teamed up and conducted a number of successful capers. Hot-blooded Harley, however, is angrier at the Joker than at Batman, and even initially works with the Dark Knight to help bring down the Clown Prince of Crime.

While Batman eliminates the villain's muscle, Quinn chases the Joker up a damaged building, intending to send him falling to his death. Before she can do so, however, the Joker apologizes. Falling in love with him again, she forgives him on the spot, and serves as his lieutenant again After this, Ivy dissolved the partnership in disgust. Ivy remains, however, her usual first point of call when she and The Joker are going through a rough patch. Ivy adopted the role of older sister and teller of harsh truths to Quinn about her helpless infatuation with The Joker.

Back with her puddin, Harley helps the Joker with a plan to kill all his former henchmen, unaware that the "punchline" to the scheme is her own death. Upon realizing this, she shoots him in the shoulder.

She even joins the Secret Six as the sixth member. But upon hearing that Oracle has sent the Russian authorities footage of teammate Deadshot murdering the Six's employer as payback for double-crossing them, Harley asks, "Is it a bad time to say 'I quit'?"

Harley Quinn has joined forces with Poison Ivy and Catwoman in the recent title Gotham City Sirens. Having moved in with Poison Ivy at The Riddler's townhouse, she meets up with Catwoman who offers for the three of them to live and work together. Ivy resolves that she and Harley would provide Catwoman with "positive female reinforcement", and the three then agree to become a team. However, Harley and Ivy have one condition: they demand that Catwoman reveal to them the true identity of the original Batman. Suddenly, however, a new villain who tried to take down Selina Kyle named Boneblaster breaks into the apartment and the three of them have to move after they defeat him.

Later, after a chance encounter with who she thought was Bruce Wayne (but was really disguised Hush), the Joker attempts to kill Harley, apparently out of jealousy. Quinn is rescued by Ivy and Selina, and it is later revealed that her attacker wasn't the real Joker, but one of his old henchmen impersonating him.

During the Holidays, Harley travels to Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, where she visits her family. Her brother seems to be lazy and unwilling to work, causing Harley to fuss at him about the situation. Her mother also shows signs of her disapproval for Harley being a villain, even though her daughter tries to say that she has changed her ways. The meeting leads to Harley going to visit her father in prison. She and her dad talk of why he is in jail once again, and he tries to tell her that he will also change his path if Harley has done so. They share a moment, but Harley realizes that her 'Pop' is trying to find out where she has stashed money away for him. As Harley goes to exit the building, a guard asks for a picture. She tries to refuse, but the guard says that her father promised she would; And he having given her dad money for the photo: This angers Harley even further.

Harley returns to Gotham, not wanting to stay anywhere near her family. She sees that Animal Pound has been turned into a wonderful home; It having a toy room(Just as she had asked). As Harley snuggles her stuffed animals, she tells Ivy and Selina that, "There's no place like home!"

EXAMPLE OF FIRST-PERSON ENTRY:

Aw now ain't this a pretty conveniant little way to get to know you all. Here I was going to get all questiony about winding up in Kansas! But I been weirder places, oh yeah.

Names Harley, Some people'd say I'm crazy. And psychologicly, yeah maybe, I mean wanted in twelve states does put a bit of a smudge on my reputation, and they took my qualifications away, but crazy's a real broad term and I'm a friendly gal.

EXAMPLE OF THIRD-PERSON ENTRY:

He wasn't here.

He wasn't here in this strange little city Harley had found herself in a few days previously and immediatly set about looking for him. That was definitely something to be worried about but she knew he'd show. And till then she had to get the place all nice for him. She wasn't entirely sure how yet beyond the explosions and general mayhem. But its what she did best so why would she ever change that. She did it so well, it had often been said.

She skipped through the streets dressed in a corset and skirt combo, pretty little outfit and a bit of a departure, but she liked it. And that was enough for her. Because it only mattered what she liked, thats what Red used to tell her, that she didn't need to be Mister J's doormat. And just maybe she was right, cause here she was all self sufficiant not even freaking out a little about being wound up in where the papers said was Lawrence Kansas. Clicking her heels together hadn't worked, even when she'd appropriated a pretty sparkley pair of red shoes and tried the same trick again with the whole, wish I was home thing from that one movie.

Nothing had happened at all and she'd found herself a little dissapointed. But nothing had worked. Nothing had. So she was stuck here is what it was. That was annoying.

But Harley was nothing if not adaptable.
