Leela is spaceship captain, pilot, and head of all aviation services on board the Planet Express Ship. Throughout the series, she has an on-again, off-again relationship with Philip J. Fry, the central character in the series. The character, voiced by Katey Sagal, is named after the Turangalîla-Symphonie by Olivier Messiaen.
Turanga Leela proves herself the true hero of Futurama through her genuine nobility. Unlike the hapless Philip J. Fry, Leela actively throws herself into danger to do what she believes is right. Leela's willingness to help others sets her apart as the most consistent hero in the world of Futurama.
Leela is a fair-skinned mutant-woman with long, messy dark purple hair (inherited from Turanga Munda) which is tied into a ponytail by a black hair tie with bangs. She also has pink plump lips, and a large cycloptic-eye that takes up most of her face.
