Character: turanga leela

post #1260416
Fictional character from the animated TV series Futurama voiced by Katey Sagal

Leela is a cyclops who was originally introduced in the series as an alien; through much of the show's initial airing she was depicted as the lone member of her species. It is later uncovered she is in fact a mutant, though the least mutated mutant of all, and not an alien at all. Leela was orphaned by her parents in an attempt to avoid having her live the life of a mutant in the sewers beneath New New York. Leela worked as a Cryogenic Career Assignment Officer before meeting Fry and quitting to join the Planet Express crew as the captain.

Mutants use an Asian-style naming format where the family name comes before the given name (as an example, her parents are named Turanga Morris and Turanga Munda); using a standard naming format, her name is "Leela Turanga."
