== History ==

Most of Chells history remains a mystery. Throughout Portal 2, [[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, whether or not statements of her adoption are true or not is up for debate.

{{Spoiler|In the first Portal, we are presented to Chell as just another average test subject taking part in tests of the [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]] and associated equipment such as [[Weighted Storage Cube]]s and [[Super Colliding Super Button]]s. However, when instructed to accept her own death to conclude testing, Chell refuses, and begins her escape, culminating with a confrontation with GLaDOS, the sentient robot that had been first guiding, and later attempting to stop Chell from achieving her goal. While contronting GLaDOS, she removes the [[personality cores]] from her structure designed to control GLaDOS, and dampen her destructive personality. She places those cores in an incinerator chute which effectively destroys GLaDOS and part of the [[Aperture Science]] facility. She winds up on the grounds outside Aperture Science only briefly, before the [[Party Escort Submission robot]] drags Chell back into the building and is placed in indefinite statis.}}

{{Spoiler|In Portal 2, she awakens some time in the future to [[Wheatley]] a personality core that attempts to help her escape from the facility. During the attempted escape, the mistakenly awaken GLaDOS who quickly throws Chell back into testing for the foreseeable future. After running another series of tests while being mocked, insulted, and passive-aggressively belittled by GLaDOS, she and Wheatley manage to slip back into GLaDOS' chamber. When Wheatleys presence is detected, and GLaDOS becomes fully corrupt, a core transfer is initiated requiring Chell to press the Stalemate Associate button to initiate the transfer. Wheatley takes over the body of GLaDOS and is now in full control of the facility, but isn't quite able to handle the power.}}

{{Spoiler|Wheatley quickly turns on Chell and tosses her down an elevator shaft where she, and GLaDOS who has now been inserted into a potato battery, bottom out in the remains of Aperture Sciences older test chambers. Though broken down and deteriorated, many of the tests and testing elements remain intact. Chell begins to head towards the facility in an effort to find a way back to the newer Aperture Science facility, guided by recordings of the now deceased founder of Aperture Science [[Cave Johnson]], she navigates test chambers from the 1950s, 70s, and 80's, before finally finding a way back into the primary facility. Now with GLaDOS in her potato attached to Chells portal gun, they begin their quest to reinsert GLaDOS into her body to stop Wheatley from destroying the entire facility.}}

{{Spoiler|They navigate a series of test chambers, initially built by Wheatley, but quickly revealed to have been created by GLaDOS and then, quite literally, mashed together by Wheatley. Ultimately she reaches the chamber of Wheatley, where she must use the newfound testing element of [[Conversion Gel]], a surface with which to portal made up from ground up moon rocks to defeat Wheatley by placing corrupt personality cores onto Wheatleys robotic body. This causes his core to become corrupt, once again a core transfer process begins requiring Chell to press a Stalemate Associate button to finish the transfer. However, Wheatley in one of his few intelligent premeditated moves, has booby trapped the button with explosives, and Chell is knocked backwards, a single portal lying directly under Wheatleys body. She awakens, still alive despite the explosion, reaches for her gun, and aims it at a full moon exposed through a hole in the roof. The portal plants successfully, Wheatley, the [[Space Core]] and Chell are expelled into the emptiness of space. }}

{{Spoiler|Pulled back by GLaDOS, GLaDOS ends the game with a monologue regarding no longer having the desire to kill Chell, and instead wanting her to simply leave the facility and never return. You ride up an elevator to the surface, complete with a chorus of an opera sung by a group of turrets, and out into an open wheat field in the middle of no where. Moments later, the Companion Cube, burnt and beaten, is ejected out behind you and Chell begins her life without Aperture Science.}}
