Althea is a physician and surgeon on Paradise Island who aided Princess Diana in tending to the wounded pilot Steve Trevor when he crash landed in the ocean off the island's shore.[1]

Althea acts as the primary physician to the Royal family and is thus familiar with and close to Queen Hippolyte and Princess Diana. Diana trusted her to help when Diana and Mala rescued Capt. Trevor even though bringing a man ashore threatened breaking the Law of Aphrodite and earning the goddess's wrath.[1][2]
