With the recent release of "Suicide Squad," there's some of hate towards how Harley Quinn is represented. It’s time to talk about some of her history which will be comic book and cartoon stories to it. Along with mention of the Clown Prince himself, The Joker.

Harley Quinn first appeared in "Batman: The Animated Series," “Joker’s Favor.” Now she is one of the few ever characters that made their debut in a cartoon and was so well received that they became apart of the comic book. When she first showed up, she was in a full jester costume. She is what some would call the Joker’s girlfriend, which yes she is, more or less.

Harley Quinn real name is Doctor Harleen Frances Quinzel—yes she is a doctor. She is in fact, a psychiatrist, which is how she meets the Joker. They met because she was his doctor at Arkham Asylum. Now this is where the messed up relationship of theirs starts. Joker manipulates Harley into what he wants her to do, which is set him free. The moment that he is free, he changes to show who he really is. First off, the Joker is a great villain. Second, what makes him a great villain, makes him an abusive jerk. So he uses Harley when he needs her and when he does not he basically tries to kill her. So there are times when she leaves him and does her own thing

Now Harley has joined up with Deadshot, Poison Ivy, Catwoman and others. She was in a trio with Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Now with her working with Poison Ivy and both of them dating—oh they both are bisexual just so you know—it is believed that Poison Ivy gave Harley enhanced strength and agility. Harley has been described as a beautiful character.

In fact, she knows what she looks like so she uses it for her own advantage. She will seduce her opponent before she kills them or to get what she wants. This is where people are hating how she is being shown. They believe that since they may not know her character that well may not know that she is a very sexual character. However she also does have a beautiful mind as well.

She is a doctor from hard studying. She also learns at a faster rate than most people do. So with her vast knowledge, she is a criminal mastermind. She is also smarter than the Joker in a few areas. However, her love for him and her overall madness make her seem dimwitted. Along with the fact that it to some degree makes her flip sides of good and evil.

Her flipping sides is usually because of her obsession with the Joker. Along with the fact she gets bored and for her doing bad is the thing that gives her the most laughs. She is in some ways more crazy than the Joker. Along with being smarter, she should more dangerous than him.

Doctor Harleen Quinzel is someone you do not want to be on the wrong side of. She is a character that is deep in backstory. Along with being misunderstood in the comics and reality for her mental health and on how she dresses.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
