Both The Joker and The Queen
One definitely can say that when Harley Quinn has a mission in mind, she puts all her passion and dedication into it, and gets things achieved that seemed impossible.
Take today for example. In the last few hours, in the middle of the plaza, Harley has been setting up several different poles, and securing them. She whistles to herself as she sets up a mini stage underneath where the poles sit. And then even climbs the poles to secure aerial silks to the top of each one.
There is a moment of connecting a sturdy interconnecting chain link between the poles, that might attract people to what is about to happen on the stage before.
For those who have never seen her do one before -- Harley Quinn is going to perform an aerial silk dance.
Right in the middle of the plaza.
Once everything is set up and secured, and a safety check is done. Harley sets up some lights, and some music, to attract even more people to the mini stage.
And then after a quick little costume change, into a silky white garment, Harley takes to the center of the stage. And for the next 30 minutes performs a breath-taking aerial piece, with plenty of twists and turns in the silks, with jumps that send her across from one silk to another, and drops that have her so close to the stage itself that people gasp with wonder if she would catch herself in time.
Harley always does. Each graceful move, every twist and turn on the silks, is done with purpose. It is poetic and speaks to an emotional state of Harley's mind that some might never see again.
And when she is done, she sits on the stage, wiping her sweat away, with another little happy whistle.
She glances up over the structure, that she will soon tear down, and glances over to someone close by.
"You would think as a hired mercenary one gets used to death. I never think about it myself, when I am on a mission. Until I get home and I realize who didn't make it back. Ya' think my tribute to the fallen is a little over the top?"
"Do you think they would appreciate it?"

"I hope they do too."
"Ya know, with the name Suicide Squad, we sort of expect that not all of us get to return safely. Those morons at the government never can tell how much it pains each one of us. Like they never expected any of us to be that close."

"With a name like that... I suspect your government thinks of you all as disposable." Amelia frowns. It's a horrible thought, but it makes sense given everything she's learned about the Suicide Squad from Harley. The people sending the squad out on missions haven't given the impression that they care what happens to anyone on it. "Do they at least allow you time to mourn after you lose someone?"

“Not really. But since I can come to the Nexus… what I do here ain’t on their radar.”

"So you have at least a little time," she muses. It's not much, but it's still helpful to hear. Her expression turns thoughtful. "Can you bring of the others here, should they need the time? I don't know how much it would help or is even necessary for some of them, but it could help."
