Throughout the ''Portal'' series, you take on the role of [[Chell]], a young woman trapped within the [[Aperture Science]] complex. Chell is forced to solve tests of varying difficulty in [[Test Chamber|chambers]] designed by an AI-gone-rogue named [[~~GLaDOS~~]]. During the early stages of the testing, Chell is granted usage of the [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]] (commonly referred to as the "portal gun"), a piece of equipment developed by Aperture Science that allows Chell to create [[portals]] that act as gates between each other, allowing Chell to quickly traverse areas or reach normally unreachable places.

The game begins with Chell awakening in a [[Relaxation Vault]], where she is briefed by the voice of [[~~GLaDOS~~]] coming from speakers, before being released through a portal.
