The Harlequin has always been a rather confusing Pokegirl for researchers. To some the breed represents a shred of humanity inside the darkening heart of Sukebe, a final desire to see joy in the world. To others it is simply another odd creation of a mad man at worse, or morale booster for his troops at best. Whatever the case the Harlequin is a truly unique Pokegirl breed with a rather interesting approach to… well just about everything

First is their appearance. Upon evolving from a Trixie Harlequins usually grow a few inches into any of the human norms and will occasionally go up a cup size as well. Unlike the their past form Harlequins dress a bit more seductively. They still tend to favor clown or jester style garments, but they generally tend to show more skin or fit a bit tighter, and their make-up, while certainly unique, is never as overdone as to take away from their sex appeal. As a rule, bustier Harlequins tend to avoid white make-up and purple clothes in order to not be mistaken with their more infamous evolution, the Jokette.

Harlequins are natural jokers, pranksters, and entertainers. Each and every one of them has an astounding sense of humor. This is more than likely due to their psychic abilities, allowing them to develop the perfect jokes for their audience. They tend to walk the line between Trixie and Jokette when it comes to their comedy. While they would never seriously injure somebody (That they don’t hate) Harlequins can enjoy more physical pranks, often setting people up for smalls slips and falls with exaggerated end results. Yet even when their pranking goes the physical route, their targets still can’t help, but chuckle at their antics. Like many dark types they tend to favor chaos although in a less destructive way. A harlequin would find more joy in a wild party than they would in something like a riot.

They tend to battle in a similar fashion. It has often been stated by Pokegirls that the Harlequin is the only breed capable of making losing fun. Through out battle they tend to tell a series of jokes in an effort to either irritate their opponent or make them laugh their ass off. Aside from their textbook attacks Harlequins tend to summon various props to help them in battle, often those used by clowns or magicians. They’ll use tricks like endlessly tied scarves to bind their opponent, a chemically altered pie to the face to leave some form of status ailment, or a seltzer bottle fired water gun. Higher level Harlequins sometimes summon other Pokegirls. One popular trick used stronger Harlequins involves summoning a tiny car only for numerous Trixie to explode out and grab their opponent. The few weapons they use are usually blunt and comedicly large. Since they don’t enjoy pain when they go for a physical strike they prefer a one hit K.O. like a giant mallet to the back of the head.

Harlequins tend to get along well with most of their evolutionary branch. Trixie view them as mentors and will often ask them for comedic advice. Lady Lucks enjoy their pranks to a slightly lesser degree ,but enjoy them none the less and often try to teach their sisters the games they learned fro their evolution. Their relationship with the Jokette breed is a bit more complicated. There is something about the charisma of Jokettes that can draw Harlequins closer to them. Jokettes tend to view them as mildly entertaining and will usually keep them around until their use or fun runs out. Once this happens the Harlequin will meet the same fate that most people who cross the Jokette will. Because of this, most domestic and threshold Harlequins will avoid a Jokette like the plague, but ferals tend not to know any better and get sucked right in.

In terms of harem dynamics the Harlequin isn’t often found in the harems if serious tamers. Their rather loud and attention grabbing personalities along with a lack of seriousness makes them very annoying to conservatives and even liberals find their nature to be a bit much when traveling through feral infested areas. They don’t make great Alphas, not being much for responsibility, but their psychic abilities and a strong desire to see others happy makes them decent betas. Unlike many more relaxed Pokegirls, Harlequins don’t annoy serious ‘girls too much because they know their limits. A Harlequin is just about one of the only people aside from their tamers who can make a Cuntdor smile.

Sex with Harlequins is pretty much average. If not painful or completely repulsive, a Harlequin will usually indulge their tamer willingly in their fetishes. They tend to talk dirty, but their sex talk sounds like it came out of a bad porno and you really can’t tell whether their trying to get you laughing or horny. They make decent sex battlers, having the average Pokegirls endurance and a slightly higher than average pleasure threshold. In sex battles they tend to try to tickle the resistance out of their partner before dominating them.

Ferals are rare, having the agility necessary to stay out of the average predators mouth, but nothing else that really helps them thrive in the wild. They can still talk and tell jokes, but they tend to be based solely on the Harlequins sense of humor rather than the psychic jokes of a tamed Harlequin. Their intelligence drops a bit and many Harlequins find their pranks backfiring. Threshold cases follow the same pattern of those of the Trixie. They usually don’t notice they are Pokegirls until they are forced to use inhuman agility or their taste in clothes and make-up change radically.
