Ling appears in Rogue Wave, though she and Serafina do meet and explore a temple in Atlantis together. When the caves are stormed by death riders, she escapes with the others into the mirror. Ling practices her magic and later takes place in the bloodbind. They travel together to the river, where they meet Astrid, Becca, Ava, and Baba Vrăja, the leader of the river witches, also known as the Iele. Ever bounty hunter and his brother are after you. ''You're wearing dresses that probably cost more than most people here make in a year. Ling first meets Serafina and Neela in a small river town and tells the merls they need better disguises. In Dark Tide, she wears a prison uniform consisting of a baggy grey tunic, but when she escapes she puts on fresh clothes. When she breaks her wrist, she uses an old scarf as a cast. Her disguise consists of a torn black cape, long turitella-shaped earrings, a necklace made from old skeleton keys, her sword on her back, and she dyes streaks of her hair purple and wears it in braids. She carries an embroidered silk bag over one shoulder and a sword in a scabbard is slung over her back. In Deep Blue, when she first meets Serafina and Neela, she wears a red jacket and her hair is coiled into two knots on top of her head.

She has long black hair, almond-shaped eyes, and high cheekbones. Ling has white scales with brilliant orange patches, like a koi fish, which cover her tail and torso.
