About Leela:
Leela was born into the society of subterranean mutants who live in the sewers beneath New New York.
Since her mutation was relatively minor, the least mutated mutant ever, her parents deposited her on
the steps of the Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium in order to spare her the degrading life of
a mutant. Leela's mother (calling on her education in Exolinguistics) attached a note to Leela's blankets
in an alien-like script, which convinced the head of the orphanarium that Leela was an alien, as opposed
to a mutated human. Her parents closely monitored her youth, periodically intervening to protect her from
falling down stairs, leaving birthday presents for her, etc. Leela finally discovers that she and her
parents are mutants in the episode "Leela's Homeworld".
As a child, Leela often had to endure childish bullying from other orphans, mainly because of her being a
cyclops, as well as for her dental braces. As a teenager, still feeling the torment of being a cyclops,
Leela trained in Arcturan Kung-Fu, succeeding despite the misogyny of her teacher, Master Phnog. She
developed a lasting crush on a fellow orphanarium inmate, Adlai Atkins. They would later meet as adults,
after he had become a successful cosmetic surgeon.
As an adult, Leela could be seen as a very attractive, vixen-like woman, except that she has only one eye,
the apparent reason for her lack of relationship experience. Leela's first mentioned job was a Career-Chip
Officer, through which she meets Fry. After Fry convinces her to break from the bounds of her job, Leela
becomes a Space Captain at Planet Express, piloting the aptly named Planet Express Ship.
Leela had an odd-looking pet named Nibbler, which she found on the planet Vergon 6, in the episode "Love's
Labors Lost in Space".
