She wears her hair in braided locks and multiple barrettes and has long, triangular tattoos approaching her eyes and lips on her forehead and chin, the latter resembling a goatee. In the manga's colored print, the top tattoo was colored similarly to her barrettes. Ermes's clothes consist of a sleeveless coat that is cut down the middle in a "V" shape and has serrated edges at its bottom, with pockets on each breast and two pairs of pins, over a sleeveless turtle-neck, arm warmers with patterned gaps, and belted pants with two stripes running across its sides.

Ermes's pragmatism informs a lot of her mindset, as she usually chooses the most apparent way of action and tries to approach problems in a direct, down-to-earth and often blunt manner. For instance, when trying to calm down the suicidal [[Thunder McQueen]], she appeals to the simple fact that it's impossible for someone to not get a stroke of good luck eventually.<ref name="SOC25">{{Ch|SO Chapter 25}}</ref> She similarly takes [[Enrico Pucci|Enrico Pucci]]'s]] and his followers' more esoteric claims and diatribes as simple signs of derangement or straight up bluffs.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 149}}</ref> Although she is baffled by the increasingly bizarre instances of the supernatural, Ermes quickly adapts to them, preferring to take them for granted and connecting them only to whatever objective she has at hand. For example, despite the initial shock of discovering her [[Kiss|newly awakened Stand]], she immediately gets back some stolen money with its ability, concluding that even though she doesn't exactly understand what it is, it's at least useful.<ref name="SOC21">{{Ch|SO Chapter 21}}</ref> Allying with far more eccentric and far less prison-savvy people, Ermes often finds herself being the voice of reason, although not a very succesful one. Ermes regularly tries to hold back Jolyne's reckless or idealistic decisions, like sparing [[Foo Fighters]] because of her supposed lack of agency in killing humans,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 32}}</ref> or just blindly jumping into a fight.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 119}}</ref> Not one to mince words, Ermes can turn brutally honest, like delivering a verbal takedown of McQueen's character despite the risk of driving him into another murder-suicide attempt.<ref name="SOC25" />

Ermes is of at least partial Mexican descent through her immigrant [[Ermes and Gloria's Father|father]].<ref name="SOC51" /> She had lived her youth in the slums, her family managing a restaurant there. Though sheShe had aan [[Ermes and Gloria's Father|father]] and a bigelder sister named [[Gloria Costello|Gloria]], who iswas 10 years older than her. In the anime, thereit is noshown mentionthat of hertheir [[Mrs.Ermes Costelloand Gloria's Mother|mother]] passed away when Ermes was a kid, so Gloria took on the role of being Ermes's mother.<ref name="SOE13">{{Ep|SO Episode 13}}</ref> Gloria would eventually inherit the restaurant at the age of 20 but would receive no assistance from her little sister. Gloria wanted Ermes to help at the restaurant but Ermes wanted a sports scholarship in cross-country and to go to college.<ref name="SOC51" />

One night, threein years before the events of [[Stone Ocean]]2005,{{Ref-Note|name="age"}} at the age of seventeen, Ermes left the familial restaurant to run off to the city instead of having another fight with her sister. In doing so, Ermes accidentally ran near a spot where the gangster [[Sports Maxx]] was about to commit murder. Sports Maxx was in turn caught red-handed by Gloria,. seeingAs himSports lookingMaxx atsaw Ermes, runningrun past him in the distance., Gloria understood that Sports Maxx mistook Ermes for a witness and that he would try to kill her. In order to save Ermes, Gloria called the police but was killed for it several weeks later because of the police's negligence. Ermes lost her whole family and possessions. Due to lack of proof, Sports Maxx was sentenced for no more than five years of imprisonment.

This prompted Ermes to seek revenge. She began to repeatedly commit armed robbery, letting herself be arrested. By doing so, she was condemned to 8 years in [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], where Maxx was.<ref name="SOC51" />

By looking at [[Thunder McQueen|McQueen's]]'s [[DISC]], [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] and Ermes find a hidden stash of DISCs near a farm.

Incidentally, two prisoners disappear in the farmlands surrounding the facility. [[Loccobarocco]] gathers the female prisoners to gather a search party. Jolyne volunteers, as well as Ermes. They and three other prisoners are cuffed with [[Like a Virgin|explosive bracelets]] and must run to the farmlands behind their supervisor, from whom they must not get too far away from or else the cuffs will explode. On the farmlands, the duo take out McQueen's DISC and confirm that there is a stash of [[DISC]]s hidden in the tyretire of a tractor. The guard tells the two to start searching but Ermes makes a disapproving remark, attracting the guard's anger. He hits Ermes's bracelet with his baton and tries to make her fall on feces, but Jolyne pulls a leaf to cover the feces as Ermes falls on it, splashing the guard's pants. However, the guard angrily orders everyone to go toward the swamp instead of the hangar where the farming equipment is kept. Suddenly, Jolyne and Ermes notice that there are now 6 of them among the female prisoners. Furthermore, the guard is killed while everyone is distracted. The prisoners must retrieve the guard's body and one of them dies when she accidentally strays too far.

[[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], Ermes and [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] soon reach the hospital in which Pucci is hiding. Before going in, Jolyne lets Emporio stay outside and gives him Jotaro's memory DISC. However, [[Donatello Versus]], the third of [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s sons, intervenes with his Stand [[Under World]]. A stray bullet flies from a room, catching Jolyne and Ermes's attention. They enter the room and see a sinkhole in which are Pucci and Versus. Jolyne goes into the hole. However, a memory of [[Sports Maxx]] appears and drags Ermes in the hole and Ermes finds herself in the memory of a plane bound to crash. Jolyne briefly exits the plane, finds herself in a fighter jet and decides to make the fighter jet collide with the plane. Emporio informs them that precisely two passengers survived. The pair find their seat but Under World throws a couple of sick children on the seat. Nonetheless, Ermes and Jolyne cooperate to survive. Ermes duplicates the memories of the survivors to act as protection for her and the children, and Jolyne unravels herself to hide inside Ermes. Jolyne confronts Versus and immobilizes him, but Versus reveals [[Weather Report]]'s memory DISC that he's stolen from Pucci. Under World returns the DISC to Weather, and several rainbows appear.
