was brought up in an orphanage and attended high school where she was a bit of an outcast
for having oneeye and went dateless to her prom. She took up kick boxing and other similar
sports to make up for the lack of friends. Whether she attended college is unknown. She
later got a job as a fate assignment officer and after a while met Fry while she was
assigning a career to him. He convinced her to quit and she was then offered a job, along
with Fry and Bender, on the Planet Express delivery crew where she impressed Professor
Farnsworth enough for him to make her captain. She still has problems with men and often
gets jealous of Amy's popularity among the opposite sex. She has a soft spot for Fry but
is unsure of anything further than that, due to Fry's clumsy advances. |

| Zapp Brannigan is a 25 star General of the Democratic Order of
Planets and has been responsible for several successful wars including a triumph of the

octilian system. He is always accompanied on missions by his hapless assistant Kif Kroker.
He also is responsible for the directive B10.81, otherwise known as Brannigans law, which
prohibits the involvement with undeveloped worlds. But behind all this success and heroism
is a wimp who is not very intelligent at all and who uses battle moves such as sending
wave after wave of men into battle to be killed, just so the killbots would reach their
preset kill limit. He slept with Leela, a fact which he constantly reminds her of. |
