== Personality Cores ==

As the name implies, each core has its own unique personality and behavior, which can be incorporated into the central core when they are physically attached to it. ~~However, most~~ cores were unneeded and deactivated. {{spoiler|These were later reactivated after the destruction of GLaDOS in ''Portal''.}}

{{spoiler text|During the conflict with GLaDOS in ''Portal'', whenever [[Chell]] would drop a personality core into the [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|incinerator]], not only did GLaDOS experience pain when they are destroyed, she also began to lose some of her reinforced prominent personality traits. These include as her references to [[cake]], and her moral values, which resulted in a much stronger desire to kill Chell.}}

The general form of a personality core is a large, spherical construct roughly a foot in diameter resembling an eyeball, containing sensors (with the "eye" presumably acting as a camera), two handles (possibly dating from when humans had to transport and handle them manually), and other equipment, such as ports to hold them onto a security rail for them to move on, or to plug into the central computer.

{{spoiler|During the events of ''Portal 2'', it becomes apparent that any form of personality core would be more than qualified to be hardwired into the mainframe to become a central core. This is a feature preset by Aperture as a means of replacing corrupted central AI; and if the central core happens to disagree with their impeachment, a Stalemate Resolution Associate will have to force the replacement procedure.}}

[[GLaDOS]], ~~whom~~ was designed with the sole purpose of being the central core herself~~; does not possess a spherical~~ shape ~~like~~ other personality cores.

[[GLaDOS]], who was designed with the sole purpose of being the central core herself, has her own unique shape that is quite different from the other personality cores, with an oblong body and a yellow "eye". {{Spoiler|Her "eye" appears to contain her "soul" or identity, made clear when it was stuck into a potato during the events of ''Portal 2''.}}
