- ❝ I got the brain cancer. ❞
- — Grandma Quinzel[src]
Grandma Quinzel was the grandmother of Harleen and Barry Quinzel.
Appearance[]
Grandma Quinzel is seen wearing a pink blouse over a cream-white, long-sleeved coat. She wears black glasses with thick rims and a light blue tint in the lenses. Her grey hair is worn in a bun on top of her head.
Biography[]
In "Being Harley Quinn," she is briefly seen in the background of a family photo inside Harley's mind.
She made her full debut in "Bensonhurst", where she was first seen in the sitcom-parody sequence showing off the Quinzel family throughout the years. The sequence showed her initially having a stable relationship with her husband. Still, they began to grow in disdain for one another throughout the years and eventually fully developed a hatred for each other. When Harley arrived at her parents' house, Grandma Quinzel attended a family dinner where she revealed that she had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Still, soon thereafter, she was killed by being shot through the back of her head by a sniper attempting to kill Harley's father for unpaid money he owed to the mob.
Personality[]
Grandma Quinzel has a presumably hateful relationship with her husband. She seemed to love Harley coming back home, noting that she may not have long left to live as she nonchalantly announces she has brain cancer.
Trivia[]
- Grandma Quinzel's appearance is based on the older The Animated Series version of Harley who appears at the end of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
- Harley having a good relationship with her may be a callback to the film Batman and Harley Quinn, where Harley mentions her deceased grandmother, Fran Quinzel.
