Not only that, but what if Chell spending most of her life, being raised in Aperture, wasn’t a mistake? Ford tells Dipper that he has potential to become something better, and is hopeful that Dipper will agree to become his successor.īut, what if Ford already has a suitable child and successor in the form of Chell?Ĭhell, who has (rather…oddly conveniently) already “spent her life in Aperture’s labs”, perfecting her survival, learning, and “science” skills? Dipper then worries about Mabel, but Ford seemed positive that Mabel will do well on her own due to her personality. the Future”, Ford questions Dipper about his future plans, eventually offering his great nephew to become his apprentice.ĭipper worries about school, and Ford tells him he has 12 Ph.Ds and can offer better education. If you look closely in the background on the left, you will notice a young girl, which is Chell, back when she wasn’t a test subject, back when Cave Johnson was still alive, and back when Caroline was still human.Ĭhell has lived at Aperture for her whole life, which is also confirmed in the comic “Lab Rat” when you can see a teddy bear near Chell’s bed. Wouldn’t it be more logical to have one of the head-scientists be in charge, since they would be more knowledgeable about running a huge scientific facility? As many dying people do, Cave Johnson left his most important possession to the woman he loved most- Caroline.īack to the subject of the painting. Not convinced? Cave Johnson, when poisoned by moon rocks specifically asked for Caroline’s mind to be uploaded to GLaDOS and placed in charge of the entire facility. This reveals that Caroline is most likely married/courting Cave Johnson.
…Now let’s take a look at the painting of Cave Johnson with Caroline, shall we? One thing to mention is that the time period this was made in, oil paintings would mostly be custom-made most of the time of families, not of co-workers. You, SUBJECT NAME HERE must be the pride of SUBJECT HOMETOWN HERE.” (Source)įrom the coverage of the theory on Reddit: This is also hinted at by GLaDOS in Portal Chamber 03, “Well done, remember, the Aperture Science Bring Your Daughter to Work Day is the perfect time to have her tested.” and in Portal Test Chamber 06, in which she states “Unbelievable. The entry seemingly began as a potato, interacting with “an element from daddy’s work”, and has now grown massively out of control and taken up roots in the structure. …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. 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, and whether or not statements of her adoption and orphan status are true or not is up for debate.During the events of Portal 2, it is implied that Chell may be the daughter of a scientist who worked at Aperture Science. She later mentions in Portal 2 that Chell was also adopted, although the credibility of GLaDOS’ word is unclear. During the final events of Portal, GLaDOS mentions numerous times that Chell was abandoned at birth, and such references continue throughout Portal 2. Very little is known of her past, beyond her possible abandonment at birth, and her stubborn will to live. She is the silent protagonist of Portal, and the single-player campaign in Portal 2. She’d also be a much older…first cousin once-removed? Ford’s still a great-uncle, right?…to Dipper and Mabel.Ĭhell is the main protagonist in Portal and Portal 2. That would mean that Chell could, be, in fact, Stanford Pines’s biological daughter. If the above theory is true, Stanford Pines being Cave Johnson would also likely tie into the heavily alluded to sub-plot, and popular theory, that he had a tryst with his secretary, Caroline (GlaDOS’s former human self), thus conceiving a daughter: Chell, possibly short for “Michelle”. (via Behind the Portal - A theory) Theory: Stanford Pines (Cave Johnson) is the father of Chell from Portal and Portal 2
