Chell, Test Subject #1498, is the main protagonist in the Portal series.
BIOGRAPHY[]
Making her appearance in Portal 1 on the Orange Box, Chell was rarely seen or even heard from in the game itself. Making her appearance in Portal 2 she is the main protagonist once again and is seen much more often in mirrors and through her own portals though she is still silent. Throughout both games Chell must overcome tests devised by GLaDOS, Portal 1's antagonist, using only a Portal Gun that all test subjects have been given for testing.
ARCADE[]
OPENING: Having been expelled from the Enrichment Center, Chell explores the world along with her trusty Companion Cube to see what catastrophy has occurred and to search for her family. GLaDOS comes along with Chell in her potato form stating that it isn't the original GLaDOS but a duplicate that she made to monitor Chell. With Companion Cube and GLaDOS at her side Chell ventures forward to
Rival - Booker DeWitt
Reason - Chell who is now lost in the apocalypse comes Booker and Elizabeth walking as Elizabeth opens a tear which brings a rock into reality that Chell trips over and drops GLaDOS. Elizabeth picks up GLaDOS before Chell takes her back and GLaDOS thanks her in a mocking comment. Booker tries to tell her that Elizabeth was just trying to help and that Chell doesn't need to be rude. GLaDOS mocks Booker and Elizabeth's outfits angering them both. Booker and Elizabeth get angry and state how rude it GLaDOS tells Chell that they know where her parents are, and Chell beieving they might know something about her parents attacks Booker and Elizabeth.
CONNECTION - Chell is locked away in a testing facility much like how Elizabeth is locked away on Monument Island. Both Chell and Elizabeth are both test subjects. Chell escapes on her own, while Elizabeth requires the help of Booker DeWitt to escape. While Columbia is high up in the sky Aperture Labs is far underground. Chell and Elizabeth both open portals in a sense.
ENDING
GLaDOS ends up talking to Chell at the end of the game stating how much more powerful she looks. GLaDOS continues to mock and compliment Chell informing her if she would like to know who her parents were then she would need to solve one more test. Chell having nothing more to search for silently agrees knowing she has the power to accomplish anything, though the power she possesses may be the reason GLaDOS wishes her to return.

PORTAL FUNCTION - Chell and foes can travel through Portals though Chell can close or move them at any time. Chell can throw weapons through portals such as her Edgeless Safety Cube, Companion Cube, and Propulsion Gel through portals to hit foes. If Chell shoots a portal and it hits a foe the Portal doesn't open but Chell gains a bit of AP making the Portal gun a means of range attack though it doesn't interrupt foes. The Portal Gun thus makes Chell one of the toughest competitors to get away from since she has varied melee and ranged attacks, and is hard to chase down since she can open Portals and close them at will, giving her control on how the battle will play out.
