Her father served as Propraetor of Rhegedia from 1967 through 1997 and again from 2000 until his retirement from public life in 2002.

Education
Sulpicia was educated by private tutors for her primary schooling and St. Theodora's School for Girls for her first years of formal eduction and secondary school. Sulpicia finished first in her secondary school class, earning a scholarship at Castellum College, Castellum, where she studied Political Science and graduated within three years. In her second year of schooling, Sulpicia earned an internship at the Palace of Augustus with the Imperial Offices, in which she worked in the Private Secretary's office. Following her tertiary education, she attended a year long post-graduate law degree program at Galata College at the University of Haenna.

Political Career
Castellum Assembly Member
In 2002, Sulpicia ran for the Appia Palpatina seat in the Castellum Assembly receiving 43.8% of the popular vote. She was then appointed as the Mayor of Castellum's Youth Ambassador, a newly created role which was seen as being a replacement post for the Deputy Mayor for Young People, a post left vacant since 1998.
Sulpicia served in the Assembly for one full term, choosing not to run for re-election in 2006.
Senate
2010 election
During the 2010 general election, Sulpicia was attacked for for her inclusion on the party list by Progressive senator Thomas Erucius, for infidelity, claiming that Sulpicia cheated on her husband with her chief of staff. However, he never supported these claims with evidence. He later asserted that Sulpicia was only provided favorable treatment over the course of her career due to her status as a noblewoman and unscrupulous actions. He eventually claimed that she was involved in an affair during her time as an intern at Imperial Offices at the Palace of Augustus. Erucius was eventually censured by Imperial Offices and the administrative offices of the Praetorian Guard for violation of lèse-majesté laws. He would eventually withdrew his name from the Progressive list after being censured and threatened with arrest for violation of lèse-majesté. He later apologized to both Sulpicia and Emperor Jason VI Augustus for what he called "a severe lack of judgement and common decency...brought on by the desire to win;" in 2015 he later admitted the allegations were an attempted smear campaign and were not based on any evidence.
