Well, Yoko was winning that so handily, we decided to close it early and go ahead and give you guys a chance to vote on which character you want me to actually make new sprites for.
I have no preview sprites for these, so enjoy these pictures of the characters instead:

Old Poll info in the spoiler:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Well, with the addition of Strider and one other character to the Capcom side, I've decided to go ahead and add two more The World characters to keep things even. I also am well aware that there are very few women representing The World, so the new characters will be female.
This is the first of TWO polls. This one includes options that have existing sprites, to make things easier on me. Yes, the options are mostly SNK characters (representing different SNK franchises), but that's due to sprite availability.

After this, it gets fun, because I will put up a second poll that will include 4 possible female characters that I will make sprites for. I figured, I was originally going to have to sprite 4 characters anyway due to the original polls (Wesker, Frank West, Sonic, and Axel), but Sonic's sprites were mostly done by HyperSonic and Balmsold is working on Frank, so why not? Unlike the Movie Character poll, the winners of these will definitely be in the game. Also, I have already chosen the 4 options, so please don't flood this thread with suggestions!
****WINNER****
YOKO (Gurren Lagann)
Voted Lara because as much as I liked Power Girl, I was more keen on that Nightwing getup she had going before (which would've made an awesome subboss, mind you) than her actual character design and that probably (more like most definitely) wasn't what was planned.
Besides, Lara's coo'. And also videogames.

^Is that Nobunaga?
On topic though, I really don't know much about any of these chars... Aside from Lara. Now that I think about it... Maybe I should have voted for Lara instead.... Though, Power Girl seems cool as well. I know a little about her. The other two I have no clue about, so, I can't say anything in their regard.
I'm pretty sure Portal 2 established at the very beginning of the game that Chell is mute due to slight brain damage from extended hibernation in the Aperture facility (then again this wouldnt account for her being mute in Portal 1)
One of the writers for Portal 1 and 2, Eric Wolpaw, said that Chell is silent as to not give GLaDOS the satisfaction of a response. That Lab Rat comic for Portal 2 also showed Chell's test subject questionnaire, which she refused to answer. This all plays into her extreme stubbornness.
The "jump instead of saying apple" thing is either more of the same thing, or just genuine disorientation from waking up from hibernation. Brain damage is pretty unlikely, I think.

while Chell probably didn't distrust Wheatley for the first part of the game, she probably wasn't exactly totally sure of him, and then he turns evil anyway, so she remains silent for the same reason as she does for GLaDOS
