Anthea, known as "Anne" on Earth, is the third daughter of Atlas and Nyx, and the younger sister of Hespera and Kalypso. Millenia after Atlas' death, Anthea and her sisters sought to recover their father's stamina from the Shazam Family and restore their home realm using the Golden Apple from Hera's sacred tree, while Kalypso also intended to terraform Earth with Shazam's Staff of the Gods. When Anthea and Hespera objected, Kalypso mortally wounded Hespera and depowered Anthea before planting the Apple and attacking Philadelphia with her army of mythical creatures. After Kalypso's defeat and Billy's sacrifice, Anthea went with Shazam Family to Mount Olympus to bury Batson, but Wonder Woman appears and restore the power of the Staff of the Gods, reviving Billy and restoring Anthea's powers. Anthea then decided to stay on Earth with Freddy and learn more about humanity.

After Hespera escapes the Rock of Eternity with the golden apple and returns to the Palace of Atlas, the sisters decides to restore the broken parts of their realm. However, Kalypso reveals her true motives, and ultimately betrays Anthea and Hespera, who want to protect humanity rather than destroying it and conquering their place. She tries to talk Kalypso out of this evilness, claiming that the humans are mostly good and innocent people, and that killing them would be monstrosity. Kalypso then summons Ladon and rides on it as she invades Earth and plants the seed of life for dark purposes. Anthea then travels to Earth with intent of stopping Kalypso, as she and Hespera finally redeem themselves (despite Anthea always sticking to good morals).[1]

She then goes to Freddy, and the two are confronted by Kalypso while she rides on Ladon. She is at first afraid to fight back, but Freddy encourages her, and the two scare Ladon off, keeping the beast alert so it won't rush to attack them. Shazam then arrives and lores Kalypso to a point in which Hespera generates a shield around them. Athena is worried with Freddy about the possibility that Shazam would die. She at first thinks Shazam is dead and mourns him with Freddy, calling him a god. However, she happily discovers that Shazam was alive. As Wonder Woman uses the staff to restore balance corrupted by Kalypso, Anthea is seen gaining her magic back, becoming a goddess again and gaining her powers back.[1]

Personality[]
Anthea is a selfless and heroic love interest, who would do anything to protect humanity and her lover Freddy and do what she thinks is right. She at first believed Kalypso's lies and manipulations to an extent, and she was vengeful towards Shazam before meeting him. She was never prepared to hurt Freddy herself, but at first, she wouldn't resist when Kalypso and Hespera have kidnapped him. However, she would be horrified when Kalypso tortured him.
She later fully changed sides, and joined forces against Kalypso. She would even be the one to open Hespera's eyes to Kalypso's villainy. Anthea was shown to be even more horrified of witnessing her eldest sister, Hespera's death when her second sister Kalypso has betrayed them.
