Description
So I was derping around with this 25 expressions meme, and figured why the hell not? If I'm going to keep drawing Portal fanart, I'm going to be drawing Chell a lot.

All of the below is speculation and guesswork on my part, and there are some very minor and vague spoilers.

I'll be posting one for my Wheatley soon; for some reason his expressions are much harder. Probably because they're so much more exaggerated.

Meme belongs to *napalmnacey , the original can be found at [link]

Notes and lines for the various expressions:
1: Outer Chell : ) Inner Chell: Yay : D
2: Chell doesn't like to express sadness. It gives GLaDOS more ammunition. Instead, she just sort of... stops expressing at all, even the minimal level she already does. She'll grit her teeth and get through it, and never show she's hurting.
3: Nothing much for this one.
4: Anger is a lot like sadness. She refuses to give GLaDOS the satisfaction of having gotten a rise out of her, so she bottles it up inside. She does become more aggressive in her behaviors, though.
5: Inner Chell: Now how do I solve this one?
6: As she gets tired, she becomes progressively more paranoid; she knows she's not functioning at her best and so she knows that she's more likely to get herself killed, but it's awfully hard to sleep inside the facility.
7: Inner Chell: She's being nice to me?
8: Irritation is the same as anger. She gets frustrated with herself more than with others.
9: Nothing much.
10: Chell: A ha. That's how it works. (Followup to 5, if you want.)
11: Fear is on the same level as anger and sadness.
12: Outer Chell: I knew it was going to happen...
Inner Chell: So why do I feel so betrayed?
13: Not much to say except that she came out kind of cross-eyed. I see Chell as taking the dominant side of any relationship, though; or more specifically, finding a partner who wouldn't control her (intentionally or otherwise).
14: Self-explanatory.
15: I can't think of a situation that would bring out a 'silly' Chell. She seems a fairly serious person. You never know, though.
16: Less "hollow" and more "herpaderp".
17: Outer Chell: Why am I not surprised... Inner Chell: Turrets? What?!
18: Self-explanatory.
19: If you think I'm letting you kill me, you're sorely mistaken.
20: Exactly. She's not the sort of person to lose hope; it does say in her personnel file that she's inordinately stubborn.
21: Outer Chell: What do you mean *hc* I've 'had enough'? Of course I haven't had enough! When you see me *hc* passed out on the floor, that's when I've had enough!
Inner Chell: Has lost all control and can only pray she doesn't do something too stupid.
Chell just seems like the 'angry drunk' type to me.
22: It takes a lot of anger to get Chell to show anything, but when it does you have a big problem.
23: Really, GLaDOS? Really? (Technically she shouldn't know GLaDOS' name, but...)
24: Is that-- is he--? Eurgh.
25: W-what? No, I feel... fine... *slump*
