Duela Dent

Duela Dent is the daughter of the Joker and Jeannie Napier in Dimension J-513 and other various timelines. She was born in Badger, Alaska, where she lives with her mother. She does not know much about her father or her mother's past. She has no idea that interdimensional chemicals drove her father mad, and a heartbroken, pregnant Jeannie was forced to leave him. The police faked Jeannie's death without her knowledge, and with Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent's help she settled on Dent family property in Badger. She goes by the name Evelyn Dent, pretending to be a distant cousin of Harvey's. Jeannie tells Duela that Jack is in hiding due to his work for the government. Duela is unaware that it is actually she and her mother who are in hiding.

Dimension J-513 (post-Batman: Three Jokers)

Duela was assigned male at birth. Jeannie named her Jack after her father and called her Jackie. It was around the age of twelve that the preteen began to realize she was trans. After a few years using they/their pronouns, at age fourteen she came out as a trans genderfluid girl. She asks her mom if she can change her name to Duela to reflect her genderfluidity. Jeannie is at first hesitant but quickly realizes how important this step is and agrees, especially after seeing how for the first time her child seems truly comfortable in her skin.

Duela grew up watching Marx Brothers and classic Warner Brothers cartoons with her mother, and like her father she wants to make people laugh. Jeannie works overtime at the grocery store where she's a clerk, and surprises Duela at her fifteenth birthday party by signing her up for a course in clowning. Clowning and acrobatics become Duela's passion from then on.

Another trait she unknowingly shares with her father is the strong desire to earn more money for her and Jeannie. Duela sees how tired working so many shifts at the grocery store makes her mother, and how bad her back is getting. Duela starts clowning at parties to earn extra cash, and adds a steampunk-goth aesthetic to her get-up. However, Duela wants more -- as close and happy as she is with her mom, she's always noticed a lingering sadness about Jeannie; Duela knows it's because she misses Duela's father. Duela begins to save up cash and starts brainstorming ways to get to Gotham City to find her father, having found papers hidden in her mother's old luggage about Gotham and the Ace Chemical Processing Plant.
