Harley Quinn

Story

Originally Harleen Quinzel, she was a psychiatrist at the Arkham Asylum. After she met Joker, her life changed drastically, and she became his crazy sidekick known as Harley Quinn. Despite her initial enthusiasm, her troubled relationship with Joker eventually led her to split away from him.

Now, as a solo villain, she operates her own group of criminals and misfits, using her combination of madness and intelligence to become one of the most fearsome villains that Gotham has ever seen.

Personality

Harley's own insanity can almost match The Joker's. In particular, she tends to show intense passion for people she loves and will go to extreme lengths to do something for them. Harley also tends to struggle with her own identity, especially after trying to carve her own path without The Joker.

Playstyle

Similar to other assassins, Harley Quinn has very damaging combos and solid pressure. However, unlike the others, she shows a much stronger emphasis on vertical attacks, which become a cornerstone of her gameplan. Once Harley pokes down her opponent and pops them up in the air, she becomes an extreme threat thanks to several strong attacks that hit above her. Because of this, you never want to be floating above her and need to watch out for the Jerk-in-the-Box traps.

Her major weakness lies in being a lightweight glass cannon. Making mistakes will hurt her a lot, and once in a critical state, most kill moves will knock her right off the stage.

Appearance

Harley Quinn is a woman with pale skin, blue eyes, and long blonde hair tied in pigtails with one side dyed pink and the other blue. Her whole outfit features an asymmetric red and black alternating pattern based on the eponymous harlequin.

She wears a black choker, a small varsity jacket, fingerless gloves, a vest, a brown utility belt, mini shorts, thigh-high socks, and sneakers. Both her gloves and sneakers also have pom-pom style fur trims.
