Duela Doe is an unhinged, unpredictable fighter and skilled thief, who was born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father. In the original comic, Duela's full name is Duela Dent, and she is the daughter of Three-Face, a.k.a. Evelyn Dent, and The Jokester of Earth-3. In Batwoman season 1, Batwoman revealed that Duela was Evelyn's daughter, and Harvey Dent was her uncle.
Olivia also shared about her character in an interview. “Duela is sort of like the full embodiment of like every wild instinct you’ve ever had, which I think we all have that part of ourselves. But it’s so crazy to see and to think like, ‘Oh, what if you let that take over your whole entire self?’ So she’s fireball, she’s wildcard, she’s the Joker’s daughter.”, she said.

In the first episode, we saw Duela, along with Harper (Fallon Smythe) and Cullen (Tyler DiChiara), broke into Wayne Tower to steal the gun that Joe Chill used to murder Thomas and Martha Wayne, as they were paid to do this job.
However, after examining the gun, they realized that the gun was used just recently. Looking towards the window, they saw a chilling message written in blood: "Your Bat Is Dead". They rushed to the window and immediately found the dead body of Bruce Wayne on the pavement.
It turned out that this was all just a trap to frame them for the murder of Bruce Wayne. And naturally, the police soon arrested all of them.

During the police interrogation, we learned that Duela Doe is indeed Joker's daughter. And thanks to Harper, we also got to know that Joker's abusive behavior pushed Duela to find a way out of Gotham. Despite their blood connection, she despises Joker more than Batman ever did.
