<P> Leela , full name Turanga Leela , is a fictional character from the animated television series Futurama . 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 and becomes the mother to Kif 's Offspring . The character , voiced by Katey Sagal , is named after the Turangalîla - Symphonie by Olivier Messiaen . She is one of the few characters in the cast to routinely display competence and the ability to command , and routinely saves the rest of the cast from disaster , but suffers extreme self - doubt because she has only one eye and grew up as a bullied orphan . She first believes herself an alien but later is revealed to be the least - mutated sewer mutant in the history of 31st - century Earth . Her family ( particularly her parents ' accent and `` outcast '' status ) parodies aspects of pollution and undesirability associated with industrial New Jersey when compared with New York City . Interestingly , she had a race horse named after her by Eventmasters Racing back in 2016 . </P>
