8. Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel)

Harley is scared!

We found Harley in Belle Reve, the institution where Amanda Waller ran her Suicide Squad out of. Harley was imprisoned. See, she is immune to the Anti-Life Equation. It might be due to her emotional disordahs. She was imprisoned along with some others dude to this, being experimented on by Huge Strange to figure out what was up.

Harley was very thankful to be rescued, planting a smooch as we took off. Nocturna and Cheetah assisted us in this rescue, though Cheetah lost an arm for it (she got it back). Even worse - Nocturna lost Saoirse's scarf. That's why she's only an honorable mention.

We brought Harley back to base where she was accepted onto the new Suicide Squad, which Nocturna is currently Squad lead of. And almost immediately, a few things happened...

1. She heard Jaime say "Harley Quinn crazy" and got angry and started trying to kill him with elaborate traps (including the old drop-a-piano-on-them).
2. She opened up a shrink's office... directly opposite from Simon LaGrieve's office, the shrink that was used for the Suicide Squad at Belle Reve.
3. She became friends with Brennus and immediately moved into his room.

Harley was here. And she was here to be an agent of chaos. But also order in some ways.

See, Harley's office has a special ability - flip a coin. Heads, you gain +1 to Willpower for the next session, as Harley provides insight. Tails, and it's -1 Willpower for the next session, due to Harley Quinn's crazy rubbing off on you.

Brennus is like a toaster, you see.

Of course, one can simply talk things out with Harley instead. Turns out, she was very good at her job. She just had emotional disordahs that got in the way. So she's able to provide a surprising amount of insight for the characters who visit her - granted she doesn't go crazy with them instead.

Even more, talking with Harley, you get to hear about her problems. Oh, her and Puddin' broke up, her and Ivy ain't togethah no more. All things that she would have a lot of insight into if she was observing them in someone else. In fact, there are times where Harley will diagnose someone or treat them and what she's saying would work exactly if directed back at her. But such is the burden of a great mind... and emotional disordahs.

In campaign 1, Harley fell to the backseat while her fellow area leader, Duela Dent, took frontstage. Harley only really provided Bud and Lou, her hyenas, to the fray. But here, Harley has found her voice. And it's such a strong voice. Like, Kaley Cuoco sucks ass compared to this one.

Harley is consistently providing a deadly combination - comedy from someone whose antics shouldn't be encouraged, poignant insight into player characters, and tragedy surrounding a girl who maybe really has just been a victim all along. And pianos falling from the ceiling.

Hint for 7: This character is not of one mind.
