Turanga Leela (born December 3, 2975), better known as Leela, is one of the main characters in Futurama. She is the tomboyishly beautiful captain of the Planet Express ship. With a “no rain or sleet” attitude and a “kick-your-ass” grace, big-booted eyeball this delivery captain is the sole source of professionalism (with the exception of Hermes Conrad) to counterpoint the rest of the crew.

For better or worse, the ship runs on her high octane passions, be it because of her longing for family, her love of violence, her commitment to a job well done, or her аffection for animals. She has been known to scrap the missions on a whim on the promise of learning more of her past, jeopardize the crew’s lives despite Zapp Brannigan and save Nibbler, and sudden emotional outbursts about an ex-boyfriend from her past named Sean. Although she often does not show it, she is in love with Fry, and vice verse. Leela was the first woman blernsball player and the worst player ever because of her poor depth perception (this is due to the fact that she has one eye). However, because of space, depth perception is less useful because things are farther away, Leela is captain of the Planet Express ship.
