Personality:

INTELLIGENT

Cunning and perceptive Harley does nothing to hide her intellectual prowess and her sharp wit, this knack for thinking on her feet is apparent even while she maintains an irreverent attitude and distaste for the rules. With a Ph.D. in psychology and a sharp tongue to match, what she’s been through hasn’t dulled this trait at all. If anything, it’s given her more ammunition by the name of experience. Harley counts on people thinking that she’s a ditz or mistaking her for a damsel and uses it to her advantage. Her understanding of the human mind and her experience as a gifted liar and deceiver make her an expert profiler and manipulator. She can see through most fabrications and is innovative and resourceful despite leading some to believe otherwise. Where others maintain a sense of structure and logic where their smarts are concerned Harley has always had a sense of ingenuity and cleverness that tends to be abstract and unnoticed. Her instability directly parallels to this but never overlaps it, and despite appearances Harley always has those wheels turning.


DRIVEN

Once Harley sets her mind to something she’s not going to be distracted from it. Her opinions and her beliefs stay firm despite her tendency to be aloof and morally ambiguous. Once she sets her mind to a task she follows through and sees it to completion, sometimes against her own better judgment. In Suicide Squad after another altercation with The Joker, she stays with the rest of her team to fight Enchantress even though it means almost certain death. With Sionis and Cassandra Cain, she exhausts all resources to retrieve the diamond going to extraordinary lengths to pilfer the diamond humanely while being public enemy number one. The same can be said for the fight against Starro and the situation with the javelin, refusing to let the weapon go or leave it until she knows the purpose behind being given it. She sticks to her guns and is superbly task-oriented when she needs to be despite the organized chaos of her personal life.


FEARLESS


Like the Joker, Harley is pathologically fearless and isn’t truly afraid of anything. From jumping into vats of acid to fighting Batman while trapped in a car underwater she maintains a sense of absolute calm. This trait above all others is what makes her a truly formidable opponent, and her natural sense of what she should be scared of is tied only to her intellect versus the actual sense of fear. Harley rushes in headstrong, and whether it’s an entire city out for blood or a bomb in the cranium she maintains a vexing sense of tranquility while reckoning with it. This makes her an asset to any team and ties into her dedication to the task at hand.



IMPULSIVE


Not a whole lot of thought goes into a plan of Harley’s making, she acts on instinct and doesn’t have any strict method to her madness. It’s all whim and predisposition and this trait specifically is what makes her a loose cannon. From blowing up Ace Chemicals to accepting a marriage proposal from Silvio Luna and then subsequently killing the dictator she is a fly by the seat of her pants kind of girl and follows through with gut feeling and absolute certainty in the immediateness of her actions. This tendency also puts her into life-or-death situations of her own making like the entire city of Gotham chomping at the bit to do her in after the breakup with Mr. J went public. She acts without reason or thought, and the victims of these choices lie in the wake of the chaos she creates.


TEMPERMENTAL


Although for the most part Harley is upbeat and irreverent feelings and emotions are a huge motivating factor for any choice that she does make. Many of her choices are made in the heat of the moment and the fuel to the flames is whatever she’s feeling at that moment. Tired of being disrespected by Roman’s driver in the club led to her breaking both of his legs and Happy got his namesake thanks to a spur-of-the-moment dare that tickled her funny bone. She killed the entirety of the guard at the General’s stronghold after being locked up and tortured and has injured multiple guards at Waller’s facility just because of boredom and her own frustration.


ERRATIC


Harley is easy to read, clear and concise most of the time but her disposition is never guaranteed. Her actions and choices leave little to go off where her actual inclinations are concerned and just as she’s quick to act and motivated by feeling she can also flip the switch and script when it benefits her cause. She has no modus operandi and can change her mind at the drop of a hat. After cheating death multiple times and fully escaping after the situation with Waller the first time she’s brought back into the “Suicide Squad,” by something as simple as road rage. With Sionis and the diamond, she changes allegiance multiple times to save her own skin. On Corto Maltese, she accepts a marriage proposal from a dictator she’s only just met. Nothing is beyond the realm of belief for Harley and anything goes and that includes orb-searching space expeditions.


Powers/Abilities: taken from the wiki.
Master Combatant: Harley Quinn is a highly skilled and formidable armed and hand-to-hand combatant. Although she has no formal training in hand-to-hand combat, it could be due to her years of fighting by Joker's side. When in a fight, Harley uses her acrobatic skills to best her opponents. Harley was able to seriously injure five Belle Reve guards before finally being restrained in an extra-secure cell. She also quickly overpowered two far larger Eyes of the Adversary troops of Enchantress in rapid succession with nothing but her agility, combat skills and baseball bat. However, she was swiftly defeated by Batman, with the latter knocking her out with a single mighty punch, and by Enchantress in their final battle. She was able to fight Renee Montoya, an experienced hand-to-hand fighter in her own right. When raiding the GCPD, she was able to take down numerous trained police officers and other criminals in lockup with a combination of acrobatic kicks, swings from her bat, and the use of her custom-made non-lethal grenade launcher. When at the abandoned amusement park, she was able to take out most of Black Mask's thugs singlehandedly while in roller skates.

Stick Mastery: Harley is dangerously skilled with bludgeoning weapons like her mallet and baseball bat. Most notably, she used her baseball bat to take down multiple Eyes of the Adversary and even landed a hit on the Enchantress (though it failed to faze her). When escaping a gang of bounty hunters, she was able to take down a number of them using a baseball bat found in evidence. Later, while fighting Black Mask's criminal organization, Harley utilized a mallet to take many of them down. Harley was also able to effectively utilize her Fun Gun in much the same way to her baseball bat, using it to block blows and using it as a blunt weapon.

Knife Proficiency: Harley is skilled at using knives. Using a karambit against Batman while underwater, she attempted to use a razor against guards, and even using a tranq dart to repeatedly stab Victor Zasz. She is also a skilled knife-thrower, based on the knives in the target shaped like Joker's face.

Master Acrobat: Harley Quinn, as a former gymnast, is shown to be highly skilled in various acrobatics, including pole dancing and other agile maneuvers, often incorporating agile moves while fighting opponents, notably able to flip over one monstrous Eye of the Adversary when the managed to get a hold of her (thus twisting herself out of his grasp) and to easily dodge slashes from Enchantress' daggers. After falling out of Joker's helicopter, she broke her fall and effortlessly rolled it off. When raiding the GCPD, she was able to evade attacks from the police officers and other prisoners using a variety of cartwheels and handsprings, as when Renee Montoya had Harley at gunpoint and Harley was able to flip kick the phone she was holding into her face knocking her unconscious. When being tailed by Black Mask she was able to perform a back handspring onto the top of his vehicle to avoid being run down. Harley's athleticism paid off in dividends during her brief career in roller derby.

Expert Markswoman: Harley Quinn, while not nearly on par with Deadshot, is nonetheless a highly skilled markswoman, landing several headshots on some of Enchantress' monstrous Eyes of the Adversary troops, even while performing acrobatic maneuvers. When raiding the GCPD, she was able to shoot several officers in their center mass, as well as some in the face and even one from behind with her Fun Gun. She used Renee Montoya's revolver to shoot a statue (which she believed to be Black Mask) in the head.

Gifted Intelligence: Harley Quinn is exceptionally intelligent, having been an excellent academic achiever in high school, which earned her a full scholarship to the prestigious Gotham State University, where she would go on to write a very successful graduate thesis. Harley's intellect extends itself to her psychological, tactical, and deception skills.

Expert Psychiatrist: Harley Quinn, while still Harleen Quinzel, was a highly skilled psychologist, majoring in psychiatry at Gotham State University, with her psychology graduate thesis being a huge success, and allowing her the opportunity to work as a psychologist at the infamous Arkham Asylum itself. Even after being rendered psychopathic by the Joker, Harley shows at least traces of her psychologist expertise, being able to make swift breakdowns of the psychological profiles of El Diablo, Killer Croc, and Katana, knowing exactly what to say in order to get under their skin (criticizing El Diablo for ever thinking he could have a normal life with his powers and for not taking responsibility for the death of his children, judging Killer Croc's exterior aesthetic in addition to his interior and intuiting his need to eat people combined with his hatred for mankind and viewing the world as a sewer, and diagnosing Katana with deep-seated father issues). Hence, she even proudly proclaims to Rick Flag that she is known to be "quite vexing," and later unofficially diagnosed Deadshot as "another textbook sociopath." After her emancipation, she pointed out Black Mask as having a delicate sense of mental equilibrium (which she agitates) and an obsessive-compulsive need to be the center of attention and understood that he built a criminal empire in a "very misguided" attempt to win back the respect of his father after the latter kicked him out of Janus Corp. She later noted Huntress for her childhood trauma and spoke to her on the topic of revenge, stating that it rarely brings the catharsis that one desires.

Expert tactician: Harley Quinn, while not quite on par in this regard with her ex-boyfriend Joker, is nonetheless highly skilled with improvising criminal activities, managing to trap and murder Batman's protegé Robin when she was still an adolescent (though she notably had the assistance of Joker in this), to suggest a feasible escape option to Deadshot and Captain Boomerang, and to swiftly improvise a plan to weaken and take down the fearsome and powerful Enchantress in her adulthood. Following her emancipation, she single-handedly destroyed Ace Chemicals (while intoxicated) and she later had Black Mask meet her in familiar territory to hand over Cassandra Cain, knowing she would have weapons in the facility in case the deal went awry.

Expert Deceiver: Harley Quinn is a highly skilled deceiver, thus when Deadshot pretended to shoot at her, she convincingly pretended to have been killed only to reveal that she is still alive and later on, managing to trick Enchantress into thinking that she was about to swear allegiance to the latter, and to subsequently use that distraction to suddenly cut open Enchantress's chest with Katana's sword, exposing and pulling out the supervillain's vulnerable heart. Her proficiency in lying allowed her to recognize Cassandra Cain's own lies regarding the whereabouts of the Bertinelli Diamond, pointing out the inflection in her voice and the way she could not maintain eye contact.

Expert Escapologist: During her skirmish with Renee Montoya, Quinn was able to uncuff herself from Montoya and handcuff Montoya with the former only realizing afterward.

Pathological Indomitable Will: Harley Quinn (much like the Joker) possesses an obliviousness to danger that makes her invulnerable to fear and intimidation, which are usually Batman's greatest weapons in combat. Unlike Joker, however, Harley does seem to fear death, as she was dismayed by the Jokermobile crashing into a river, due to her inability to swim at the time.
