*** To Daphne. The both of them are/were friends of Fred, are girls, and share the same voice actor, but Daphne is into having fun with her friends, which is why she's into mystery-solving, while Rose is a selfish gloryhound who does mystery-solving to satisfy her ambitions.
*** To Professor Huh?. He was an evil villain years ago, but he eventually learned to [[HeelFaceTurn regret his crimes]] while in prison. Meanwhile, Rose's ambition to become a celebrity eventually destroyed the few morals she had as a child, resulting in her becoming an unrepentant villain who won't hesitate to ruin the lives of others for the sake of ambition.

They also somewhat differ in appearance, with Lena appearing younger, dressing in red, and being a brunette while Simone appears older, dresses in blue, and is a blonde. In addition, while Lena typically hunts down victims when visitors become scarce, Simone Lenoir remains at Moonscar Island while she is doing so. Finally, while Lena is concerned when Jacques is being attacked by zombies, Simone decides that draining Mystery Inc is more important so that they don't miss their deadline.
