Lena Dupree was a werecat and an employee of Simone Lenoir, at a Louisiana plantation house on an island called Moonscar Island.
Physical appearance[]
Lena was a tanned, adult female with black hair and brown eyes. She wore a red tie headband, a red vest over a lavender t-shirt, and a red skirt with matching high heels. Due to her immortality, she remained young (in her early twenties) and beautiful. In her werecat form, she had brown fur, cat ears, sharp teeth and yellow eyes.
Personality[]
During her time as a settler, Lena was shown to be very kind and caring, as she enjoyed celebrating with the other settlers for a bountiful harvest. However, Morgan Moonscar's arrival to the island changed her completely. Cursed to become a werecat, she became vengeful and lacked remorse for others, as she attempted to lure outsiders back into the island to drain their lives in order to preserve her immortality.
In order to hide her façade from outsiders, Lena presented herself as a kind and caring lady, speaking in a thick, Southern accent with a hint of French. She also maintained a seductive side, especially towards Fred, although this is done to make her task of luring outsiders back into the island easier.
She also looked down on Scooby and Shaggy, thinking that they are such hapless duo who are not worth capturing to have their life forces drained. Ironically, this led to her downfall as Scooby and Shaggy would ruin the plan.
Despite her sadistic attitude, Lena maintained great loyalty to Simone, and also showed genuine concern for Jacques when she heard that he was in trouble.
Powers and abilities[]
She could turn into a werecat, and she was immortal as long as she kept draining life from others. Like Simone, she seems to have some knowledge of using "magic wax" to create voodoo dolls to restrain victims. As she is responsible for luring outsiders back into the island, she also displays a seductive attitude, which is perfected by her years of practice.
History[]
Early life[]
Lena and Simone as settlers in the late 1790s.
Lena (with Simone) was a settler in the 1790s. Morgan Moonscar and his crew attacked the village and chased them all into the alligator-infested bayou, except Lena and Simone, who hid. They "uttered a curse" on the pirates to the cat god seeking revenge. The cat god transformed them into cat creatures, who drained the pirates. But Lena and Simone discovered afterwards that they were also cursed, and had to drain victims' life force to survive.
For the next 200 years, Lena lured visitors to the island. They granted Jacques immortality in exchange for ferrying victims to the island. At midnight, the unlucky visitors would be drawn into a chamber underneath the house where their souls would be drained by Simone, Lena, and Jacques turning them into zombies. The souls would then be used to preserve the cat creatures' immortality.
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island[]

Lena's full werecat form.
While at the market, she heard Mystery Inc.'s conversation about trying to find a real ghost, and invited them to Moonscar Island, telling them it was haunted. They agreed, as Fred instantly became smitten with her. She brought them on Jacques's ferry, which took them to the island, followed by a ride to Moonscar Mansion. Once Simone let them stay, Lena served them all lemonade, as the gang investigated. Fred complimented her on her lemonade. She also served dinner, and Fred was full of more compliments.
Lena mocked Fred's hope for Shaggy and Scooby, even stating they didn't have to waste wax on those simpletons. She later hears Jacques' roar and states he has found the scared Shaggy and Scooby. As she and Simone were about to drain the gang, Shaggy and Scooby burst in and ruined the ceremony. Lena was angry that she was wrong about the duo not messing up the plan before she and her partner caught up to Shaggy and Scooby, respectively, and began draining them to get revenge on the pair. They were whisked away from draining when Velma and Daphne reconfigured the voodoo dolls and used them against the werecats. Jacques, Simone, and Lena eventually cornered the gang to drain them, but begin painfully disintegrating as the midnight phase passed. Their immortality expired, breaking the curse and freeing the souls of the werecats' zombified past victims to rest in peace in the afterlife.
