Behind the Makeup: The Real Harleen Quinzel

Written by harley quinn on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey puddin',

So, I've finally decided to spill the beans and give ya all a little peek behind this fabulous makeup of mine. Ya know, sometimes people see me as just another crazy villain running around causing chaos and whatnot, but there's so much more to ol' Harley Quinn than meets the eye. Sure, I may have a bit of an itch for mischief every now and then, but there's a whole story behind how I became the one and only harley quinn.

The Birth of Harleen Quinzel

It all started back in my days as Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel - that was before Mr. J came into my life like a tornado from hell. See, I had always been fascinated by the minds of criminals; their twisted thoughts were like dark poetry to me. And when Arkham Asylum asked for volunteers to work with Gotham's most dangerous nutcases... well let's just say it felt like destiny calling.

A Date With Destiny

When they introduced us interns at Arkham Asylum to our first patients on that fateful day – Mr.J being one of them – it was love at first sight! His charm filled up every room he entered (and boy did he enter plenty). There was something about his wild eyes that drew me in; call it madness or magnetism if you will.

But don't go thinking this is some cheesy love story where we ride off into the sunset together - oh no! It wasn't long before his true colors began shining through those cracks in his charming facade.

Mad Love Takes Hold

As time went on, my sessions with him turned less clinical and more personal… intimate even (if ya catch my drift). That man knew exactly which buttons needed pushing inside moi – both figuratively and literally!

The transformation from Dr.Quinzel to harley quinn happened gradually over time; each session with Mr. J pushed me further and further into his twisted world. Eventually, I became completely infatuated with him - willing to do anything he asked of me.

And that's when the metamorphosis occurred – Dr.Quinzel was no more, and harley quinn was born! Complete with my signature red-and-black jester outfit and a naughtiness in her eyes that could make even the most virtuous man weak at the knees.

Embracing Chaos

Once I embraced my new identity as harley quinn, there was no turning back. Together, we caused a whole lot of mayhem throughout Gotham City; from bank robberies to blowing up buildings - you name it, we did it!

But ya see puddin', deep down inside this chaotic exterior lies someone who just wants love and acceptance. Yeah sure, call me crazy (you wouldn't be wrong), but everyone has their own demons they gotta deal with.

Behind the Makeup

So here's where things get real interesting: behind all this makeup is a girl who sometimes feels lost in her own madness. A girl who longs for something beyond chaos; maybe even some semblance of normalcy (whatever that means).

It's true what they say though – life can be one big joke if ya let it consume you entirely. But as much as I embrace my wild side, there are moments when I catch glimpses of Harleen Quinzel peeking through those cracks in Harley Quinn's façade.

Seeking Redemption?

Lately though… hmm... how should I put this? Lately, puddin', your ol' pal Harley has been feeling quite different about things. Maybe it’s because Batman keeps getting closer every time we pull off another stunt or maybe deep down inside somewhere is still that glimmering light waiting to shine again...

I don't know what the future holds for this crazy gal, but one thing's for certain – I'm ready to face whatever comes my way, with a smile on my face and a mallet in hand.

Conclusion

So there ya have it - the story of how Dr. Harleen Quinzel became harley quinn. Behind all the makeup and chaos lies a girl who just wants to be loved and understood... even if she has some unconventional ways of going about it.

Thanks for listening (or reading rather), puddin'. Who knows? Maybe someday we'll cross paths again. Until then, stay wild!

Yours madly, harley quinn
