Simone Lenoir was a voodoo priestess who lived in a mansion on Moonscar Island, Louisiana. Originally being settlers who arrived in the island in the late 18th century, she and her cook, Lena Dupree turned into powerful werecats in an act of vengeance, after the infamous pirate captain Morgan Moonscar and his crew invaded their land.
Physical appearance[]
Simone was a slender, middle-aged woman, with chin-length blonde hair and green eyes. She wore a long blue shirt over a white dress, deep red lipstick, square-shaped blue earrings, blue high heels, and a green necklace shaped like a cat's head. In her werecat form, she has brown fur, cat ears, sharp teeth and yellow eyes and her hair becomes shoulder-length in this form.
Personality[]
During her early years as a settler, Simone was shown to be kind and caring, enjoying the many celebrations alongside her fellow settlers for a bountiful harvest. However, when Morgan Moonscar arrived the island, Simone's character changed completely. Cursed into becoming a werecat, she became vengeful and lacked remorse in draining other people's life force in order to preserve her immortality. Even moments prior to her own death, Simone still held a bitter grudge towards the pirate captain, as he was indirectly responsible for turning both her and Lena into werecats.
In order to hide her true intentions from outsiders, Simone presented herself as a rather calm and prideful master of the mansion, speaking in a thick French accent, who maintained a certain level of formality; she preferred others to call her by her first name, instead of being called "Ms. Lenoir", and was willing to offer her visitors to spend the night, although this was done with the intention to lure her unsuspecting victims into a life-draining ritual.
She also harbored a huge dislike towards dogs, especially Scooby-Doo. As she owned a large cluster of house cats, she became genuinely displeased when she catches Scooby chasing down her cats. Her dislike towards Scooby becomes more compounded by the end, when he and Shaggy suddenly disrupted their life-draining ritual.
Powers and abilities[]
In her human form, Simone demonstrates no extraordinary feats. She and Lena appeared to know how to create voodoo dolls from "magic wax" to restrain their victims.
Simone had the ability to transform into a cat creature (werecat) and drain others' life force to preserve her immortality. As a cat creature, she possessed far advanced strength, speed, and sensory awareness as does a normal feline. She and Lena alone killed Morgan Moonscar and his crew of pirates by draining their life force, proving that they are extremely formidable foes in combat and in their animalistic brutality. She was able to throw a zombie over her shoulder, and hold Shaggy up with one arm.
All cat creatures stand erect, and become complete with large fangs and claws, obviously adding to their ferocity as well as to their sheer intimidation factor (in flashbacks, both Moonscar and a spice trader cried out in fear at their appearance). Simone and Lena have an "intermediate" un-furred cat creature state, in which they have larger, cat-like ears and long nails. They completed their final transformation after Scooby and Shaggy knocked them to the ground when they were inches from draining the gang. They each let out a fierce growl before growing claws on their hands and feet (destroying their shoes in the process), fur over their bodies, as well as tails.
History[]
Early life[]
Lena and Simone as settlers in the late 1790s.
In the 1790s, Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree were among a village of peaceful settlers who lived on Moonscar Island and worshiped a cat god. During their harvest feast, Morgan Moonscar and his crew attacked and pillaged their village. They drove all the settlers (except Lena and Simone) into the bayou, where the villagers were devoured by alligators while a horrified Simone and Lena watched from behind a tree. Devastated and vengeful over what the pirates had done to their friends and their home, Simone and Lena "uttered a curse on the pirates" to the cat god, seeking revenge. The cat god granted their wish by transforming Lena and Simone into werecat-like monsters, who proceeded to drain Moonscar and his pirates.
They later discovered the cat god cursed them as well, requiring that they drain victims' life energy every harvest moon to survive. So for the next two centuries, Simone and Lena did exactly that. If there were no victims around, Lena would find and lure tourists and visitors to the island to drain. At some unspecified point, they also granted Jacques immortality, as they needed a ferry driver to transport lured outsiders.
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island[]

Simone's full werecat form.
The werecats' latest to-be victims in the present was Mystery Inc., when the gang was lured to Moonscar Island by Lena in Daphne Blake's search for a real haunting for her TV show. As the gang settled in, Scooby-Doo's antics and his destructive pursuit of Simone's cats all over her property was a running irritation for her.
As midnight approached, Lena lured Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Daphne Blake and the plantation's human gardener, Beau to her and Simone's dungeon, where the two werecats captured and bound them using voodoo dolls to be drained. As Simone and Lena were seconds from draining the gang, Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, Jacques and the zombies flooded the dungeon and created a commotion.
Lena and Simone caught up to Shaggy and Scooby, respectively, and began draining them. 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.
Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island[]
She appears in flashbacks during the gang's remembrance of Moonscar Island. Her cat medallion was found by Alan Smithee during his search on the island for production on his movie.
