**Doctor Quinzel** (also known simply as **Harleen** by Harley Quinn to distinguish her and her former self) is a minor character of the series. She is an apparition that appears to Harley whenever she needs some advice acting as a sort of conscience to the supervillain.

## Appearance

Doctor Quinzel's appearance is pretty much the same as Harley's, but she has normal Caucasian skin tone instead of Harley's bleach white. Her blonde hair is kept in a bun and has no highlighted tips. Doctor Quinzel wears a red shirt, a black skirt, a white coat, and glasses. She is usually seen holding a clipboard for taking notes.

## Biography

### Season 1

#### "Til Death Do Us Part"

*Main article: Til Death Do Us Part*

She first appeared after Poison Ivy showed her a picture of them in the past, saying Harleen Quinzel was the only doctor to ever get through to her, questioning what Harley thought she would say to her regarding her relationship with the Joker. The picture started talking to Harley, asking her for help diagnosing a patient of hers who is fixated on a murderous psychopath and won't end their relationship no matter how terribly he treats her. Harley easily diagnosed it as "classic abusive co-dependency" and quickly realized she was describing her own relationship with the Joker.

She appeared again after Harley had gotten back with Joker, only for him to betray her, letting her be dropped in a pool of acid (later revealed to just be margarita mix). In the acid, Harley has a mental flashback to the Joker romantically proposing, but Doctor Quinzel shows up and makes her realize that wasn't really what happened and that "proposal" Joker gave her was actually a suicide bomb plan to kill Batman, only for him to save Harley in the process.

#### "Bensonhurst"

*Main article: Bensonhurst*

She later appeared again in a cellphone after Harley sent a text towards Ivy and never got a response and mocked her usage of "LOL". After opening up about being abondened by her crew, Doctor Quinzel told Harley that there's one person who still loves no matter what she does or who she is, which Harley thought she meant Ivy but what she really means her mother.

She appeared again, this time in a car mirror where she learned what happened to Harley after discovering that her parents were trying to kill her for a million-dollar bounty, which she tries to explain that she had no idea that they would do that to their own daughter.

### The Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour

#### "Journey to Love"

*Main article: Journey to Love*

When Harley she tried to push Ivy to open up to her, Doctor Quinzel appeared before Harley in the rearview mirror of their car. Doctor Quinzel told (or rather, reminded) the ex-psychiatrist supervillain that forcing Ivy could push her away instead. Quinzel urged Harley to just be supportive.

### Season 3

#### "Another Sharkley Adventure"

*Main article: Another Sharkley Adventure*

Harley started feeling guilty for leaving Batgirl at the mercy of Mad Hatter's goons. From her elevator, Harley had just heard Batgirl scream in terror, and Dr. Quinzel appears as a reflection in the elevator walls. Quinzel guided her patient towards the conclusion that Batgirl shouldn't have to die, at least in part because both Harleens find the Mad Hatter ridiculous and repulsive.

### Season 4

#### "Icons Only"

## Personality

Much like Harley before she went insane, Dr. Quinzel talks in a very professional and friendly tone, always willing to help her patients with their issues. She communicates very effectively with Harley, since they have a similar sense of wit (with Dr. Quinzel's being more tame) and memories. Dr. Quinzel is very aware of the fact that she is merely an apparition; furthermore, she is able to distinguish what Harley sees is real or not.

## Trivia

* Doctor Quinzel likely represents what little sanity Harley Quinn still has left.
* Even though she represents her from her sane days, Doctor Quinzel never considers Harley's parents as her own, calling them "your parents." Conversely, In season three, Harley says "our girlfriend" when talking to Doctor Quinzel about Poison Ivy.
* In the cartoon, Poison Ivy apparently can't see Dr. Quinzel (in "Til Death Do Us Part", she had to assume Harley was hallucinating). However, in the "Journey to Love" comic, Ivy has extended interactions with Dr. Quinzel. Ivy is even joined by Quinzel while inside her mindscape à la Dr. Psycho.
