Ling Bouvier is the adopted daughter of Selma Bouvier, after discovering that she had reached menopause.

Selma adopted Ling in China after discovering that she had reached menopause. She lied about being married to Homer Simpson, in order to fool the Chinese authorities into thinking that Ling would be part of a traditional family as opposed to a single mother. Though she and Jacqueline Bouvier have only been seen once together, Jacqueline is her adopted grandmother. It is later revealed in Changing of the Guardian that Selma and Patty push her to her limit in numerous hobbies and fail to praise her.
