Summary
Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel, also known as Harley Quinn, is a former psychiatrist and lover of The Joker. She is also a long-time nemesis of Batman and even assisted The Joker in the murder of the latter's protegee, Robin/Jason Todd.
Formerly known as Harleen Quinzel, Harley Quinn originally worked as a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. When the Joker was imprisoned there by Batman, the young psychiatrist took a particular interest in him, regularly visiting and speaking with him. Their frequent visits led to Harleen being gradually psychologically sabotaged and manipulated by the psychopath, eventually falling in love with him, and even going as far as smuggling in and giving the Joker a machine gun, per his request. Shortly thereafter, the Joker's goons infiltrated Arkham Asylum, and successfully broke their boss out. Before leaving, however, the Joker sadistically subjected Harleen to shock therapy, which had a severe impact on her mental state.
Taken to ACE Chemicals, Harleen was told by the Joker to say an oath, in which she was to swear that she would die and live for him. She responded in the affirmative, and willingly dove into the vat of chemicals below them, tainting her skin white and further degrading her mind as a result. From that point on, the Joker dubbed her "Harley Quinn" (giving her a red-and-black Harlequin costume), and the duo of psychopathic lovers proceeded to go on numerous crime sprees in Gotham City together, becoming the criminal king and queen of the city.
