Harley Quinn

* Vyond
* Accurate

**Harleen Frances Quinzel**, better known as **Harley Quinn**, is a member of the Cult of The White Dragon and is a recurring character in the *Sean In The Vyond World* series. She was taken from DC Comics but mostly from the DC Extended Universe.

## Personality

Harleen Quinzel (despite having a traumatized, dysfunctional childhood) was once a compassionate, highly organized woman who worked at Arkham Asylum before the Joker transformed her into mentally and physically into a lunatic named "Harley Quinn". Through the shock therapy and the Joker's manipulation, her mind and emotions were twisted to the point where she transformed into a person barely recognizable from the woman she once was, becoming a homicidal sadist who would use sexuality and her playful personality to achieve her goals or to entertain herself, usually harming others in the process. She followed the Joker in whatever he demanded of her, blindly smitten with the raging psychopath whom she affectionately called "Puddin", before their final breakup.

Despite her penchant for violence, Harley has a sweet, child-like disposition, wide-eyed and bright, finding humor in otherwise dark situations, much like Joker himself. After attacking Belle Reve guards and seriously injuring a couple before finally being restrained, she maniacally began giggling to herself in a sinister way, showing how fractured her psyche had become. However, despite her psychopathy, Harley is still highly intelligent, even showing traces of her psychologist's expertise, as Harley was able to make swift breakdowns of the psychological profiles of her teammates, knowing exactly what to say to get under their skin, though Deadshot calls her out on this. Her intellect also extends itself to tactical skills, as Harley notably assisted the Joker in the murder of Robin, suggested to Deadshot and Captain Boomerang a feasible escape option from Suicide Squad, and even swiftly improvised a plan to weaken and take down the extremely powerful Enchantress, which proved successful.

Harley is also quite tough and pathologically fearless (another trait she shares with her boyfriend), fighting alongside Suicide Squad and having fun doing so. With the team, she is shown to get along well with them, once she got to know them a bit better, with Harley acting as a bartender at a derelict bar. She even seemed horrified before El Diablo's death, imploring Rick Flag not to blow him up (while defeating Incubus). She has a very dim view on regular life, stating "normal is a setting on the washer" to El Diablo, who lost his family because of his powers; however, until her emancipation, Harley once had the dream of having a family with the Joker, as Enchantress' implanted vision revealed.

Following her breakup with the Joker, Harley Quinn was initially devastated, frequently crying and binge-eating to relieve the pain she was going through. As a mark of her pathological fearlessness, she also adopted and tamed a hyena. After her emancipation, she was forced to look out for herself. She was troubled by the specter of those who told her that she couldn't succeed on her own but quashed those voices to make her way. Although she at first sought the protection of the Black Mask from the powerful enemies she had made, she eventually displayed remorse at selling out Cassandra Cain to him and turned over a new leaf by fighting off him and his forces before making Cain her apprentice.

Harley’s experiences with her new team have been a journey of renewal for her as she finds a new family that has experienced similar hardships and have similar goals. Also, her ability to genuinely love, while impaired by her subjection to chemicals, seems to have been restored as her regard for human life increases, albeit to a limited extent, coupled with her gradually realizing that everything people do inevitably carries some form of the aftermath. Despite this, she never truly reached hero status, as most of her decisions were still rather self-serving. Although often painted as a victim of psychological abuse, the Joker himself claims very little credit for Harley's condition. According to Joker, Harley was always insane deep down, and he had merely made her madness rise to the surface. It should be noted, however, that Joker's insanity occasionally induces him to make conclusions that only make sense to him, hence this might not necessarily be true.
