Biography[]
Lena Dupree was a beautiful young woman born in the late 18th century. She lived on Moonscar Island with her mistress Simone Lenoir. One night as they celebrated a bountiful harvest, Morgan Moonscar the pirate came ashore and murdered everyone except for Lena and Simone. The two women invoked their cat god and vowed to destroy the pirates. The cat god granted their wish, and they were transformed into werecats. They killed all of the pirates, by draining their life force, forcing their spirits to return to their lifeless bodies every Harvest Moon. After that, Lena and Simone were cursed by the Cat God's dark magic.
They were now forced to consume the life force of those unlucky enough to be drawn into their clutches. They also must drain the souls while the Harvest Moon was in its midnight alignment, or else they will die. Whenever people did not show up to the island on their own, Simone would have Lena lure them to the island under various pretenses. Some of their victims over the centuries have included the residents and workers who established a pepper plantation on the island, a Confederate Army regiment under the command of Colonel Jackson T. Pettigrew, and numerous tourists lured to the island by Lena.
Eventually, Lena invited Mystery Inc to the island, kidnapping them under the guise of helping them learn about Moonscar Island, which at that point had become infamous for the number of disappearances throughout the years, and had been home to a Confederacy plantation.
Inevitably the zombies return to Moonscar Island. When the Mystery Gang return to the mansion after encountering the zombies, Lena claims to them that Simone had been captured by the zombies and had been dragged to an underground tunnel. However, they discover from the footprints that Lena had been deceiving them and that Simone had simply walked down to the tunnel. She then proceeds to capture them along with Simone.
Lena is finally destroyed after she, Jacques and Simone fail to drain the life force from Mystery Inc, and the werecats disintegrate into ashes, never to be heard from again. This causes the souls of all their victims to finally be set free to rest in peace in the afterlife.
