Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy | A Odd anniversary gift

Harley Quinn (aka Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel), is the titular main protagonist of the animated Harley Quinn franchise. Harley is the former girlfriend and sidekick of The Joker and is currently dating her best friend Poison Ivy. Since breaking up with Joker, she has led and founded a ragtag crew of villainous misfits and briefly became a member of the Legion of Doom. At the end of season 3, Harley realizes she does not feel like a villain anymore and decides to join the Bat Family as a crime fighter. At the end of season 4, Harley ultimately realizes the fact that she is more of an Anti-Hero and thus leaves the Bat-family, later joining the newly created Gotham City Sirens. However, due to the teammates' inability to work together they disbanded before the events of season 5. Harley Quinn is a tall and slim Caucasian young adult woman with bleached white skin and blue eyes. Harley has an athletic rectangle body type from her past as an acrobat. She has long blonde hair, usually in a pigtails style, which is dyed at the ends in blue and pink shades. She occasionally wears it down when she dresses up, such as during the Legion of Doom party. Harley's makeup usually wears dark red lipstick, pink and blue eyeshadow, black mascara and eyeliner as part of her makeup, and a demonic grin whenever she's ready to fight. Before her transformation into Harley Quinn, she is portrayed with fair skin, although her hair doesn't have the dyed colorful highlights and often tied up in a updo bun. She wears less heavy makeup. Even before transforming into Harley Quinn, Harleen wore her classic color scheme, which included a red blouse, a black skirt, black heels, and a white lab coat. While working as a psychiatrist, she wore her hair in a bun. From her college years until her transformation, she also wore glasses. Before her breakup with the Joker, Harley wore her original skintight black and red rubber/latex clown outfit, as the character did in the DC Animated Universe where the character originated, except her shoes are heeled rather than flat. Harley's regular outfit is a skintight short black and red strapped rubber/latex cropped tank top with a star and diamond on it, a black metal choker around her neck, black and red fingerless leather gloves, black and red skintight rubber/latex briefs, long black and red thigh-high stockings with a red stripe on top and diamond on the black stocking plus a black stripe on top and star on the red stocking, and black and red sneakers with pompoms. Underneath Harley Quinn's common shoes, they usually appear as plain white soles, but they also have the red and black footstep pattern in which a red star is on the black and the black diamond is on the red. Occasionally, they also appear with blank red and black soles. In the cold on Catwoman, and Thawing Hearts, she adds a black and red jacket — also with diamonds and a star pattern — to keep herself warm; she also wears this jacket to conceal explosives in The Final Joke. At formal events, she usually wears a black and red dress and heels, one red and one black. Her formal outfits can be seen in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", "Dye Hard", "The 83rd Annual Villy Awards", and "The Horse and the Sparrow." Harley undergoes significant character growth and learning throughout the series. However, some of her most consistent character traits are a need to break things with her baseball bat, aversion to "boring" or dull things, and what could broadly be described as a carefree, chaotic attitude. She is also very prideful, feeling disappointed when Robin showed up instead of Batman to fight her and refusing to engage in a fight against Robin and was greatly annoyed when he said on TV that he's her nemesis. Harley's psychotic personality was ingrained from her childhood and deepened when she met the Joker, forming an unhealthy attachment to him. With Ivy's intervention, Harley gradually recognizes Joker's abusive behavior towards her and realizes that she has to be independent to be healthy, manifesting as a desire to join the Legion of Doom. However, "Being Harley Quinn" reveals Joker to be rooted deep in her subconscious, meaning that her attempts to prove herself independent were subconsciously motivated by a desire to prove herself to him; his influence over Harley is so powerful that she relapses after joining the L.O.D., which alienates her allies. Harley's obsession with Joker is broken for good after he murders Ivy right before her. Despite this, Harley instantly recognizes a "normal" Joker in "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues". However, after she pushes him in acid to restore his memory, they act more like squabbling siblings. Harley is no longer interested in him romantically, having fallen in love with Ivy instead. Throughout this progression, however, she remains insane, only limiting herself from killing random innocents. Throughout the first season, Harley struggles with figuring out who she is, while in the second season, the focus is on figuring out what she really wants. Harley is impulsive and reactive, and most of her decisions are based on other people, whether it be for Joker's approval or the respect of other villains; the results are messes that someone else, mainly Ivy, must clean up. Harley eventually comprehends this, culminating with her declining Darkseid's offer to rule the Earth — her desire is Ivy's love, not conquest. She starts to be proactive in fixing her messes, which she demonstrates by not wanting to involve Ivy during "Dye Hard", freeing the Justice League in "A Fight Worth Fighting For", and trying to save Ivy's wedding in "Something Borrowed, Something Green". Despite everything, she is a caring and supportive friend. When Ivy was engaged to Kite-Man, she tried with all her effort not to get in the middle, respecting Ivy's decision and working hard to make sure they could be happy together, planning an extremely detailed bachelorette party for Ivy and even after the wedding ended up in a disaster due to Gordon's attempt to arrest everyone in that place Harley proposed to the couple be herself the one in charge to marry them. During the third season, Harley learns to function in a healthy romantic relationship with mutual support, honesty, and agency. During an adventure in Batman's mindscape, she finds appeal in being on the side of good. After Ivy assures her that having different goals doesn't mean they will lose each other, Harley gives up villainy to join the Bat Family. She also rediscovers her love of psychology as she offers to continue to be Bruce Wayne's therapist during his time in prison. That season, Harley's lack of a verbal filter seems even more pronounced around Ivy. Harley doesn't shy away from recounting her love triangle with Ivy and Kite Man[6], is willing to disclose her sexual history to Ivy "from grossest to hottest", and PDA after saying "I'm gonna need to change my shorts!". In the fourth season, Harley struggles in her relationship with Ivy since they're now working in different sides, with Harley as the newest member of the Bat Family and Ivy as the Legion of Doom CEO. While she works hard to be a crimefighter, some of her villain traits remain intact, such as when she kills Professor Pyg to save Nightwing. Despite this, she acts more for others than selfish motives, helping her new teammates learn how to fight without their gear and searching for anything that makes them earn money. When Batgirl disappears, Harley immediately rushes to find her, showing how much she cares for her partners. At the end of season 4, following the discovery that she was the one who killed Nightwing, Harley doubts if she can be a crimefighter alongside the Bat Family, thinking that in the end, she's a villain at her core, so she decides to quit the Bat Family. After Barbara is shot by Joker, Harley goes for revenge, breaking into Bethany's House, kidnapping and torturing Joker to avenge her friend. When Joker asks Harley if she's good or bad, she only responds that she's "in the middle", but is not entirely sure. Later, while attending Lex Luthor's birthday party on the moon to help Ivy in her plan to kill Luthor, thanks to the support of her girlfriend, she realizes she is neither good nor bad, but instead, in the middle is "in the outside", capable of doing heroic actions while using her traits as a villain, something she demonstrates by being worried at the people of the buildings Ivy wants to destroy but being fine with those actions, and also saving Superman after seeing he was kidnapped and used as a lab rat by Luthor leaving him on a deteriorated state, while they were destroying Luthor's base on the moon. After this, she concludes she is more than just the labels of "hero" or "villain", and instead she's "Harley Quinn", someone who wishes to help others and those she cares about acting less heroic, capable of doing questionable acts. Still, she is not evil, thus becoming an anti-hero. Harley Quinn's accent is a modified Brooklyn accent, often described as exaggerated and high-pitched. It's not a perfect, naturalistic Brooklyn accent, but rather an affectation she adopts, particularly when she's playing the Harley Quinn persona. This accent is often associated with her more flamboyant and unstable personality traits. Poison Ivy (aka Pamela Isley) is the deuteragonist of the DC Universe's animated Harley Quinn franchise. She is Harley Quinn's best friend, eventual girlfriend, and fellow Arkham Asylum escapee. In Season 4, Ivy became the CEO of the Legion of Doom, but she eventually realized it interfered with her real goals. She defected from the Legion of Doom and later became a member of the newly created Gotham City Sirens, which disbanded sometime before the beginning of Season 5 due to the teammates' inability to work together. Poison Ivy is a young tall and slender adult woman with an hourglass figure, green skin, green eyes, and green lips. She has long, waist-length red hair, styling part of it on the left side, almost covering her eye; the look may have been inspired by the hair of Poison Ivy's redesign in the DC Animated Universe, specifically in The New Batman Adventures and Static Shock. Most of her outfits heavily favor green. Her usual look is a dark green jacket and a white tank top underneath it, with green tights/leggings with a pattern of leaves and lines on them, and black high heels. For pajamas, she wears a long-sleeve T-shirt reading "Tree Hugger" with green sleeves, plus green pajama pants. In the cold, she sometimes wears a beanie with a pink flower print on it, notably when at Mr. Freeze's lair. Many of Ivy's accessories are colored green, including a green sunhat, green sunglasses (in "Bachelorette"), green scuba goggles, and a green bikini (in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P."). In "Devil's Snare", when she became a giant after drinking infected water containing a mix of her pheromones and Scarecrow's toxin and due to her plant-human physiology, she grew to a massive and gigantic size that is bigger than that of Giganta. her clothes stayed on, although they got torn due to her rapid growth, She shreds her jacket, but her undershirt and pants manage to stay intact in the necessary areas. Her white tank top is mostly intact, but the left strap breaks/is missing, leaving only the right strap, and her pants, are now torn and now shorts. She is also barefoot. Some of Ivy's other outfits include a standard orange prison suit (when in Arkham), a long white wedding dress with lace sleeves plus an extension red wig underneath her real hair (at her wedding to Kite Man), and an ensemble of a green off-the-shoulder bodysuit, arm-length gloves, kitten heels, and petals sprinkled in wavier hair (in "Climax at Jazzapajizza"). This third outfit likely draws from Poison Ivy's more conventional designs. In the The Eat, Bang, Kill Tour comics, her primary outfit is a V-neck teal shirt, black ripped shorts, and red sneakers that she got from a store in Gotham Mall. Ivy is reserved, pragmatic, sarcastic, and misanthropic, usually controlling her emotions unless pushed. Though she is quite affectionate and understanding towards people she considers friends, Ivy has severe difficulty forming such friendships due to abandonment issues. Her hatred for humanity stems from her childhood, stating the first time her father hit her; this only changed when she met and eventually befriended Harley Quinn (then Doctor Harleen Quinzel). Besides Harley, Ivy's other close friend is Frank the Plant, a Venus flytrap she brought to life. While he and Ivy often needle or tease each other, their friendship has lasted 20 years; Ivy has said Frank was the only person to understand her before Harley entered the picture. Her primary love is for nature, and she focuses her criminal pursuits on obstructing any efforts to harm the environment or plant life. While Ivy and Harley are both geniuses in their scholastic fields (biochemistry and psychiatry, respectively), Ivy is a diligent biochemist and has used her knowledge within that field in her eco-terrorism.She also likes the band the Indigo Girls, jazz, reading, and fighting/killing people who she deems deserve it. Despite being an introvert, Ivy has a hidden fun-loving side; she seems to dance when there is party music around. Ivy would develop a relationship with Kite Man. Although she initially held him in contempt, flying together on his kite over Gotham City slowly began to warm her to him. When they started dating, she tried to hide it out of shame, but eventually admitted to being his girlfriend. They would later get engaged, but by the time of the wedding, Ivy realized her heart wasn't really in it, and she had just been going along with it all out of fear and desire for a stable life. Four years before season 3 (making it not long before she met Kite Man), Ivy hooked up with Catwoman. However, the latter was too aloof and closed-off to provide an emotionally substantive relationship Ivy wanted. This might explain Ivy's attachment to Kite Man, for he was emotionally and physically fulfilling. Ivy's relationship with Harley began when Harley was working as a doctor at Arkham Asylum where Ivy was incarcerated. As her therapist, Harley helped her deal with her misanthropy. In return, when she saw Harley being abused by the Joker, Ivy took it upon herself to help Harley out of that abuse, gradually getting Harley to realize how toxic her relationship with the Joker was. Ivy protected her at any cost and was deeply hurt when Harley relapsed. This resulted in Harley becoming Ivy's greatest fear, specifically allowing herself to trust someone only to be abandoned. However, Harley would change for the better, freeing herself from Joker's spell, winning back Ivy's friendship, and later on, her love. Even though Ivy is a cautious introvert and Harley is an impulsive motormouth, the two love each other dearly. Their romantic relationship is built on a shared history, familiarity with each other's likes/dislikes, mutual respect, a desire to see the other succeed, and unwavering chemistry (they "get each other"). After becoming the CEO of the Legion of Doom, Ivy initially doesn't know how to act like a proper boss, especially since she has to lead a group of villains, most of them are misogynists and have a poor view of women, trying very hard to know how to earn their respect and get them to see her as their boss. But thanks to the advice of Nora Freeze, Ivy leaves it and stops trying to get their approval, starting to make them follow her even if it's by force. Eventually, thanks to her performance at the MalCon and her active participation in all the panels, Ivy grew to feel more confident as a businesswoman and leader. However, she slowly gets blinded by the idea of becoming a celebrity, focusing on signing books, doing photo sessions, and ignoring Frank and her mentees. However, she later realizes she's becoming someone entirely different away from what she is. By the end of Season 4, Ivy realizes she'd been naive, and she never truly accomplished anything as CEO, and no one took her, in fact, seriously. Ivy understands she can't change anything by doing it in a world where she can't create or change new rules. So, she resigns and chooses to create a new world, doing it in her way with Harley, becoming part of the Gotham City Sirens.
