{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|You really are doing great... Chell.|sound=GLaDOS_sp_sphere_2nd_encounter_completion01.wav}}<br />
'''Chell''' is the silent protagonist of both ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]''. Little is known about her past beyond her being abandoned at birth and her stubborn will to live. She wields only the [[Handheld Portal Device]] throughout her entire quest for freedom.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Most of Chell's history remains a mystery. Throughout ''Portal 2'', {{Spoiler|[[GLaDOS]] mentions numerous times that Chell was abandoned at birth and later adopted, though the credibility of GLaDOS' word is left up to the interpreter.}} Many of GLaDOS' comments throughout ''Portal 2'' and the latter stages of Portal are in an effort to belittle, annoy, or distract Chell from achieving her goal, {{Spoiler|whether or not statements of her adoption are true or not is up for debate.}}<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* {{Spoiler|One of the ''Bring Your Daughter to Work Day'' science-fair entries within ''Portal 2'' is signed, "by Chell"; indicating Chell was the daughter of an Aperture Science employee. The entry seemingly began as a potato, interacting with "an element from daddys work" and has now grown massively out of control and taken up roots in the structure.}}<br />
* {{Spoiler|The [[turret]] opera at the end of ''Portal 2'' mentions Chell by name, calling her "cara mia" {{N}} "my dear" in Italian. This implies a deeper connection between Chell and GLaDOS than was previously let on.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtAXSyFCWXY</ref>}}<br />
* Chell is modeled after actress {{W|Alésia Glidewell}}.<br />
* In [[Portal]], Chell may sometimes emit small screams when hurt. However, these voice clips are simply archive recordings from [[Half-Life 2]]'s female citizens, who were voiced by Mary Kae Irvin.<br />
* It is possible that she was daughter to Cave Johnson.<br />
