There are always two sides to the same coin. A good and a bad. A person and a mask. It's only when the two can't discern which is real and which is false that the line begins to blur. Dr Harleen Quinzel is normally very formal. Her blonde hair tied back, a simple pair of glasses over her eyes, and something professional looking beneath a white lab-coat. Nothing worth mentioning Harley Quinn, however is your traditional harlequin. Her face painted white with a black mask over her eyes. A full body latex jester costume painted in red and black with diamond designs going down her legs, black boots and white gloves. One is a professional, and one is a certified lunatic. You'd think with such differences telling the difference between them would be a simple one, but then maybe there's less of a difference than her appearance would suggest...
Flaws:
A deep rooted obsession with the Joker that overrides most of her actions, violent mood swings, and fits of daydreaming that leave her in a trance-like state.
The Joker - Harley's obsession with the Joker is all consuming. Not only is she willing to throw anything in her life away for what she believes is his love, but she is also prone to frequent daydreams about him leaving her in a comatose state from anywhere between a few minutes to several hours - this becomes worse when she is incarcerated forcing her to be placed on medication to prevent this.
Overly Possessive - Extremely overprotective of the things she cares about. This includes friends, pets, trophies, and sometimes even adversaries.
Easily Distracted - Self explanatory. Small things will distract her at the worst moments. Possibly the reason she makes random lists when she's nervous.
Frequently Daydreams - See 'The Joker'
Occasionally her better judgement will prevail and she'll turn her back on the lunatic madman of her dreams, however this usually this just ends up with Harley following Poison Ivy around Gotham doing the same sort of things she does in the company of the Joker. Her attempts to fly solo are actually usually very successful (as long as she's not robbing anyone), but in the end she always seems to trade it all to return to Arkham so she can be in the same building with ol' "Mistah J".
Since discovering a way to go back and forth between Twisted and Gotham, Harley's been using it as a learning experience getting information that she otherwise shouldn't have. Yet, somehow despite having a Ph.D. no one ever believes her when she says something really out of place like calling that reporter from the Daily Planet Superman or telling people that Batman is a billionaire playboy.
Previously Harley took residence at the Akira Institute in Neo-Edo where she is now employed by Luna to help out the inmates as Dr. Harleen Quinzel. However due to Luna leaving Twisted and taking all the wives along with her, Harleen was once more out of work and went back to Gotham again to reflect on her next course of action.
Recently she's returned to Twisted to discover it's state after the shattering of Twisted Street. It's unclear at this time what she plans to do from here.
More specifically Harley boasts the following:
Psychological Training - Regardless of how she's decided to live her life, Harley is a trained criminal psychologist with diplomas and everything. She can quickly asses someone's mental state when she's being serious and tends to offer good advice that she needs to learn to listen to. It's worth noting that this path in her life was a sudden decision brought about by the idea of making a name for herself working at Arkham Asylum. Exactly how much training Harley has had, and remembers, may be questionable but she does know enough about the mind to be very manipulative when she sets her mind to it. This is rare, however.
Toxin Immunity - Thanks to a cocktail created by Poison Ivy, Harley now has a natural immunity to all forms of toxins and an incredibly high recovery time.
Enhanced Gymnastic Ability - Originally trying to be a gymnast, Harley has been trained well and often shows this through her cartwheels and jumping ability. Another side effect of Poison Ivy's influence was a boost to that natural ability allowing her to leap incredibly high and not hurt herself on the way back down. It doesn't hurt her ability to fight at all either.
Trained by the Joker - Whether good ol' Mistah J is around or not, Harley knows his secrets and can deduce his plans even when she's not a part of them. She also knows how to fully recreate his arsenal of weapons and explosives making her extremely dangerous in the right situations.
Acting - While not formerly trained to be an actress, she actually is quite an experienced actor. In fact her Harley Quinn persona is so dramatically different in voice and body language that she has actually fooled professional reporters into believing she was someone she's not simply by acting how she did before meeting the Joker.
Home Economics - While the basics of 'how to keep yourself alive' may not be needed it is worth mentioning Harley's skills which have thus far managed to keep her escaping the Joker's murderous tendencies somehow. She cooks, she cleans, she tends his wounds, she fixes his costumes, cleans his clothes, feeds his hyenas (well, her hyenas now), she even repairs his toys and sets up traps for him. Maybe he just keeps her around for that. He couldn't possibly LIKE her... could he?
Underworld Connections - Being a former criminal psychologist at Arkham Asylum, Harley has many contacts both in the criminal world as well as the medical field - although most would rather not associate with her due to her close ties with the Joker.
