Biography
A cyclops who once believed herself to be an alien, but later discovered that she was a mutant and that her parents were Turanga Morris and Munda. Leela being the least mutated mutant ever born, they decided to give her as normal a life as possible by giving her up to an orphanarium.
After a rough childhood, she found herself plodding through a boring dead-end job at Applied Cryonics as a Fate Assignment Officer. Then one day a defrostee named Philip J. Fry comes along (Space Pilot 3000) and inspires her to quit her job. Ultimately she ends up hired by Fry's many-times-great-nephew Hubert Farnsworth as the new captain for his interstellar delivery service, Planet Express.
She is skilled in martial arts, which she learned as a girl from a sexist insectoid alien named Fnog, and she isn't shy about kicking a little ass. She has gone through a number of short-lived relationships, but can't seem to find the right man. Fry regularly asks her out, but she usually rejects him. In spite of this, they have managed to have a few romantic nights.
