Expect potential art, here’s my old attempt at drawing an oc

Finella only worked for the Penguin because she wanted to win the bathing suit contest. That's it. That was her goal. I highly doubt that Penguin cared about her goal because he didn't look at her when she was trying to show him her sparkly bathing suit. To be fair, she was a narcissist and told Penguin that she wasn't sure she had the right bathing suit during a Bat-fight. Karma, I guess. When Penguin collected millions of dollars from a party, Finella cried because she regretted being involved with such a scheme. However, the Penguin completely dismissed her feelings.

Similarly, Susie worked for the Joker because he promised her that she would experience the finer things in life (like a mink coat and a fancy perfume). Because of this promise, she carried out several tasks (like "fixing" the milk machine to dispense the answers to the pre-college exam papers) with glee. At the end of the episode, Susie expressed remorse for her actions as she's being sent to the Wayne Foundation for Delinquent Girls. Also, Dick points out that her broken home and unhappy childhood caused her to believe the Joker's "phony promises.”

Even though some of the henchwomen were naive, there were others that were just as evil as their villain bosses. While they probably wouldn't be able to come up with their own schemes, they were far from being "poor, deluded creatures.”

Okie Annie is pretty darn evil. No questions asked. She had no problem aiming a gun at innocent civilians, let alone the Caped Crusader. She even asked, "You're gonna shoot them in cold blood, Shame?" Holy crap! At the end of the episode "It's How You Play the Game," Annie showed no remorse for her deeds. No tears, no "I'm sorry," nothing. She's only sad because she and her crooked cohorts have to go to prison.

Speaking of evil, Chickadee's enthusiasm for crime needs to be studied. Seriously. She LAUGHED at the very idea of Chief O'Hara and the Dynamic Duo getting electrocuted in the swimming pool. Even in her introduction, she seemed like she had more fun with crime in comparison to her friends, Matey Dee and Chef Blue. Besides pushing Chief O'Hara into the swimming pools, her deeds included a hilariously awful attempt to shoot Batman, tripping Chief O'Hara while holding him hostage, and holding Aunt Harriet captive with an umbrella gun (she even threatened to blow her brains out!). It's that last part that gets me. She doesn't think for one second that it's kind of messed up to point an umbrella gun at a sweet old lady that didn't bother her. Nope. If it wasn't for Alfred popping out of the giant pie, Chickadee would've gotten away with successfully shooting one of her victims. Much like Okie Annie, Chickadee was only upset because she was going to the State Pen with her friends (especially after finding out that Ballpoint Baxter was paroled by Bruce Wayne).

Every time Batman says, "you poor, deluded creatures" (or any variation of that phrase), it makes me think that he severely misunderstands women and their motivations in life. Of course, I could be thinking about this too hard. What do you think?

Character A is a hunter who is after a sizeshifter who has been terrorizing villages.

Character B is a sizeshifter, but not the one A is after. They're more gentle and wish to protect rather than destroy. B has their own agenda to confront the other sizeshifter, though they hope for it to be nonviolent.

B meets A while A is doing some investigating and B decides to tag along in order to find the other sizeshifter. The thing is though, they can't reveal that they are a sizeshifter because A has expressed prejudice against them as a species.

The pair grow close as they track the other sizeshifter. It isn't exactly healthy for a sizeshifter to force themselves to stay at one height for a long time, but B is determined to see this through.

Eventually, the other sizeshifter catches wind that they're being hunted and they decide to come get rid of their hunter. B has to reveal that they can sizeshift by growing to protect A.

A feels betrayed as they watch B fight (who they've known to be very pacifist so this is something which leaves them torn) the other sizeshifter. B manages to take down the other sizeshifter and hurriedly comes to check on A.

A is upset at B for hiding the truth, but they have to acknowledge that B is a good person and that not all sizeshifters are bad.

sneezing in a business meeting and toppling one of those like 300lb oak desks bc their knee bumped onto it

Sitting up extra tall so they aren't breathing or coughing on others in case they might be contagious (but still in denial - plus so big that... it might be too late anyway)

Refusing to take medicine and intentionally changing their size so the dosing is all wrong but they end up sneezing and growing back to the size the dose was intended for.
