18+? Yes
Other Character: Della Duck (noimpulsecontrol)
Character
Name: Harley Quinn (legal name: Harleen Quinzel)
Canon: Batman: The Animated Series
Canon point: Episode "Mad Love", before regaining consciousness at the end
Age: ~32
History: Wiki Link
Personality:
-Energetic: Harley has a boundless, childlike energy and is extremely playful. (For a certain definition of "playing," of course, but more on that later.) She's acrobatic, peppy, and as chatty as they come. Even her bad moods tend to come with an energy of some kind-- Such as vengeful rage or dramatic misery. She gets excited - for better or for worse - over even little things. She's generally driven by emotions, as well, which serves to fuel her energy. She's also very showy, and has a theatrical flair in most things she does.
-Sociable: This may seem like an odd trait to attribute to a villain, but Harley just loves being around other people, and develops soft spots for others far more easily than one might suspect. In fact, though she's (of course) mistrustful of the law and other authority, she often sees the best in others... In fact, that's a huge part of her whole thing with the Joker. Harley's upbeat and friendly, even if her ideas of what to do to be a good friend can be... Skewed, considering her questionable ways of thinking.
-Unstable and Obsessive: Make no mistake about it, Harley's not a mentally well woman. Not only is there her obsession with the Joker, but there's what's come of years of assisting him in crimes and just being around him. Harley can see something very dangerous as harmless fun, and doesn't always see the ramifications of her actions. She does seem to enjoy adrenaline, and she has no qualms about hurting those who she perceives as (or is told are) in the wrong. And, back to the obsessive note-- It's made her a fairly dependent person. Harley is by no means incapable, she's just used to answering to others and has largely lost track of her own worth. At her canon point, she's determined to get a fresh start and sees the flaws in the Joker.
-Morally Skewed: Even without the Joker's influence being present, Harley still has a long history as an outlaw. And though she did try to go on the straight and narrow once, but was quickly discouraged when things didn't go as she expected. Simply put, Harley follows her own, very unique moral code, and it's extremely questionable. Still, it's there. When not following orders, she doesn't hurt innocent individuals without feeling they're in the wrong-- The innocent masses, however, are another story. She's also reluctant (at the least) to hurt any non-sentient creatures, being quite the animal lover. That said, Harley has no qualms about theft and other petty crime, and can see violence as just a joke in ways that contradict her "not hurting innocent individuals" code. Because after all, anything for a laugh.
Always Keep In Mind: First of all, Harley's behavior is childish and airheaded, but she's not stupid. She earned her PHD in psychology (as far as TAS goes) and really had a lot of potential in the field. She's just primarily driven by feelings and emotion in a way that doesn't lead to much rational thought.
On a second, canon point-specific note, Harley wants to live a life free of the Joker now... But that will not come easily. She's been a victim of his abuse, and obsessed with him, for a long time. And as we've seen, a gesture as simple as a flower or a kind note from the Joker has had Harley running back into his arms. So, while she's physically apart from him in Diatu, separating from him emotionally and mentally will take time and effort, and those who try to make her see how bad the relationship was will not initially be met with understanding or gratitude, but instead anger and denial.

Questions: Write an IC answer to the following questions:
What do you want to study at Diatu Magicademy?
I like the sound of that Fantastics stuff! Real flashy magic that can also help ya get away with stuff? Sign me up!
If you knew you could go back to the moment you left, would you leave immediately or continue your studies for a while?
Oh, uh, well... I'd stay here. Yeah, see, I'm working on this new life for myself! I don't need Mister J no more, and what better way to get over a guy than being in a whole different kinda world? ...And besides that, going back home would mean going back to the slammer. No thank you!
If your enemy was at Diatu Magicademy, how would you react?
Ugh, the last thing this place needs is the Bat running around. He always ruins all the fun! Sure, sometimes he's not... So bad, but he's real strict, and who wants that when you're trying to play around with magic?
When is it acceptable to resolve a dispute by force?
Always! You gotta do what you gotta do, after all. I don't think there's much to say about it.
What should the supreme goal of any wizard be?
Since wizards are all about magic, isn't the real important thing for a wizard to be the best at magic? Plus, with that kinda power, there's nothing you wouldn't be able to do! Sounds pretty great to me.
