Character Biography

Mona Simpson is introduced in the episode "Mother Simpson". She is depicted as a loving and caring mother who was forced to leave her family when Homer was a child. Mona became a fugitive after she sabotaged Mr. Burns' germ warfare laboratory, an act that made her a target of the authorities. Her departure left a significant impact on Homer, who believed she had abandoned him.

Mona reappears in several episodes, each time revealing more about her past and her relationship with her family. Despite her fugitive status, she maintains a strong moral compass and is involved in various activist causes.
