Sulpicia

Sulpicia is a vampire and Aro's wife. She is a member of the Volturi coven, and lives in Volterra, Italy.

Sulpicia was a lovely young orphan girl, chosen and created by Aro, as she was what Aro had in mind for a mate. After successfully courting her, she agreed to be transformed into a vampire and become Aro's wife.

Sulpicia is not featured heavily in the series. She appears in the Volturi castle in New Moon and at the end of Breaking Dawn , but does not say anything. In the books, during the scene in Volterra there were a "pair of pale women in summer dresses" and during the confrontation between the Volturi and the Cullens, there appeared to be "two hooded figures, definitely women, flanked by two hulking bodyguards". These were Sulpicia and Athenodora. They are important to the ancients, and therefore are heavily protected.

Aro
Aro is Sulpicia's mate. They met while she was still human and he created her, becoming his wife.

After Caius and Marcus had found their romantic attachments, Aro decided to find his own, although rather than finding his other half in another vampire Aro decided to create his own instead. Aro had a certain type of woman in mind and he found what he was looking for in Sulpicia. He successfully courted her and she came to fall in love with him. She had few ties to her human community and she agreed to become a vampire and become his wife. After her transformation, they married and have been together ever since.

After Didyme's death and Marcus' complete devastation because of it, Aro and Caius realized that they could face the same devastating blow; they then heavily guarded their wives, seeking out safeguards for them and hardly ever letting them leave their tower. To have Sulpicia and Athenodora content with their situation, Aro added Corin to the Guard and she is assigned to reconcile the wives with their prison-like circumstance, keeping them satisfied with life.

Athenodora
Athenodora is Caius's wife and Sulpicia's company in the Volterra tower. She and Sulpicia are both guarded heavily by bodyguards and they never leave the tower except in the case of extremely important matters. She and Sulpicia never objected to their prison-like circumstances as long Corin is a part of their personal guard.
