All about moi!
Well I figured I should write a little something here, huh? What to say, what to say... Well I guess you can already see that my name is Harley Quinn... Well, technically Harleen Quinzel... But that name was a lifetime ago! So you can simply call me Harley. I /was/ a psychiatrist over at Arkham Asylum, but not anymore. Now I'm more of an on again off again inmate there rather than a staff member! I'm now an accomplice to my former faaaavourite patient, my Puddin' Mistah J. He's always got some scheme involving B-Man, ya know? Anyway, it's a pretty nice setup, even if he can get a bit rough with me at times, I can always sneak away to Red's place for a little girl time. But that's enough about me since I never can be sure what feds might be reading this!
See ya later~!
- Harley
Brief Bio
Harleen Quinzel was a psychiatric intern at Arkham Asylum. A model student, in addition to receiving high grades in college, she was also a dedicated gymnast, winning a scholarship to Gotham City University. While researching the lunatics at Arkham, she became fascinated with one particular inmate. Ambitiously volunteering to analyze him, She pleaded with the doctors at Arkham for three months before she could treat him. After he gained her sympathy during their sessions, he seduced her, causing her to fall madly in love with him. 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 is one of the most complex and twisted love affairs in comics. As with all people, Joker is abusive and manipulative towards Harley, but just as often there's evidence of comaraderie, playfulness, and genuine affection towards her. She's the only person who's managed to become so intimate on such a long term basis with the Joker and, while he generally accepts their relationship, we even see Joker's occasional moments of confusion and discomfort with it result in attempts to kill her.
"...I never knew that our romance had finished
Until that bottle hit my head
Though I tried to be aloof
When you pushed me off the roof
I feel our romance is dead
It wouldn't have been so bad if you'd told me
That someone had taken my place
But no, you didn't even scold me
You just tried to disfigure my face
You'll never know how my poor heart is breaking
It looks so helpless, but then
Life used to be so classic
Won't you please put back that acid
And say that we're sweethearts again..."
