Didyme was born several years after her brother Aro. A decade and a half after Aro became a vampire, he personally transformed Didyme into one; hoping that due to their relation, she would possess an extremely useful talent akin to his. However, her gift was simply that those around her became incredibly happy. Though this was not what he had hoped for, Aro still planned to put such a power to use.Because of the aura of happiness around her, many people fell in love with Didyme. However, she only ever reciprocated such feelings for one man; Marcus, Aro's most trusted partner in his growing coven, the Volturi. The pair became incredibly happy together, and to such an end no longer cared much for Aro's plans to take control of the vampiric world. After centuries with the Volturi, the pair made to leave. Though Aro pretended to give his blessing, he murdered Didyme when he knew no one would ever find out so that Marcus would stay (his talent being useful for Aro's cause). Aro truly loved Didyme, but was willing to sacrifice her, and any of his loved ones, for power.After Didyme's death, Aro had Chelsea use her talents to force Marcus to feel loyalty to the Volturi, though he became a zombie-like being who had no passion for anything. Marcus never learned that Aro was behind Didyme's death.
