Lucy was focused on what she wanted for her own life, while Mina wanted to please Jonathan by learning shorthand and typing so that she could help him.
The roles of the characters in the story are also very different. Lucy, whose role is much smaller than Mina's, is important because she was the first victim of Dracula. She is the only one who transforms from human to vampire in the book. Mina, however, is important because of her help to the cause of defeating Dracula. Besides her intelligence, she could also be hypnotised to see into Dracula's mind. This way, the men could know where Dracula is at any time.
Another difference is that Lucy remained uninformed of what was happening when she was "ill". She had no idea she was becoming a vampire. Mina, however, knew that after the Count attacked her she would soon become a vampire. This information is the reason Mina lived.
