— Harley on her night out
(aka Dr. Harleen Quinzel), is the titular main protagonist of the animated Harley Quinn franchise.
General
Harley Quinn is a Caucasian young woman with bleached white skin and blue eyes. Harley has an athletic body type, coming from her past as an acrobat. She has long blonde hair, usually in a pigtails style, which is dyed at the ends in blue and pink shades. She occasionally wears it down when she dresses up such as during the Legion of Doom party. Harley usually wears dark red lipstick, pink and blue eyeshadow, black mascara, and a demonic grin when she's ready to fight. Before her transformation into Harley Quinn, she is portrayed with fair skin, her hair not dyed and often tied up in a bun and she wears less heavy make-up.
Wardrobe
Even before transforming into Harley Quinn, Harleen wore her classic color scheme, although in the form of a red blouse, a black skirt, and black heels, as well as a white lab coat. While working as a psychiatrist, she wore her hair in a bun. From her college years until her transformation, she also wore glasses. Before her breakup with the Joker, Harley wore her original skintight black and red rubber/latex clown outfit that as the character did in the DC Animated Universe where the character originated, except her shoes are heeled more rather than flat. Harley's regular outfit is a skintight short black and red strapped rubber/latex crop top with a star and a diamond on it, a black choker around her neck, black and red fingerless leather gloves, black and red skintight rubber/latex briefs, and black and red sneakers with pompoms as well as thigh high socks with the same color. Although the bottom of her sneakers usually appear in plain white, they also appear with black and red footsteps and while one shoe has black with a red star, the other shoe has red with a black diamond. In the cold, she adds a black and red jacket — also with diamonds and a star pattern — to keep herself warm; she also wore this jacket to conceal explosives in "The Final Joke." At formal events, she usually wears a black and red dress and heels, one red and one black. Her formal outfits can be seen in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", "Dye Hard", "The 83rd Annual Villy Awards", and "The Horse and the Sparrow."
BackgroundSeason 1Season 2The Eat. Bang! Kill. TourSeason 3"Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special"— Poison Ivy to Harley Quinn
Harley undergoes significant character growth and learning throughout the series. Some of her most consistent character traits, however, are a need to break things with her baseball bat, aversion to "boring" or dull things, and what could broadly be described as a carefree, chaotic attitude. She is also very prideful, feeling disappointed when Robin showed up instead of Batman to fight her and refusing to engage in a fight against a 12-year-old kid and was greatly annoyed when he said on TV that he's her nemesis.
Harley's psychotic personality was ingrained from her childhood and deepened when she met the Joker, forming an unhealthy attachment to him. With Ivy's intervention, Harley gradually recognizes Joker's abusive behavior towards her, and that she has to be independent to be healthy, manifesting as a desire to join the Legion of Doom. However, "Being Harley Quinn" reveals Joker to be rooted deep in her subconscious, meaning that her attempts to prove herself independent were subconsciously motivated by a desire to prove herself to him; his influence over Harley is so powerful that she relapses after joining the L.O.D., which alienates her allies.
Harley's obsession with Joker is broken for good after he murders Ivy right in front of her. Despite this, Harley instantly recognizes a "normal" Joker in "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues", although after she pushed him in acid to restore his memory, they act more like squabbling siblings, as Harley is no longer interested in him romantically, having fallen in love with Ivy instead.
All throughout this progression, however, she remains insane, only limiting herself from killing random innocents.
— Harley to Darkseid
•Master Acrobat: Harley is an Olympic-level gymnast, occasionally eschewing walking for cartwheels. She can use her acrobatics in hand-to-hand combat, or for other uses like getting through a laser security grid. Even while still working as a psychiatrist, Harley was able to use her gymnastics to fend off Joker.
•Expert Combatant: Harley is an exceptional and fearless fighter, being able to hold her own against opponents such as Aquaman and the android at the Villy Awards.
•Bat Mastery: Harley often utilizes her signature baseball bat in her fights, using it as a blunt force weapon to severely injure her opponents.
•Expert Psychiatrist: As a former Arkham doctor, and described by Ivy as a genius, Harley is an expert at understanding the human mind. She, however, tends to be slow with self-diagnosis.
•Deception
•Expert Tactician: Despite her chaotic and carefree attitude, Harley has demonstrated to be very competent at creating and executing plans. She managed to set Robin up to confess he was not her nemesis on live television, she improvised a plan to defeat Aquaman at the Legion of Doom using his love of fish against him and getting him to destroy the fish tank, she took advantage of the smoke to get close behind and slice Penguin's throat, and she manipulated the Joker into helping him by implanting a bomb in his head.
•Mallet: (formerly) Harley's initial weapon of choice, she used it to attack and kill several people on the yacht in "Til Death Do Us Part". It was destroyed in her fight with the Joker's gang after she decided to break up with him.
•Baseball Bat: Harley's replacement weapon after she lost her mallet. In "New Gotham", Harley's bat is destroyed after her fight with The Penguin, although it can be assumed that she replaced it with a new one.
