Jushu likes duels and wishes he could participate in them. [[Shallan]] has a fantasy in which she sees [[Helaran]] sparring with Jushu and teaching him swordsmanship, but it is not clear if this ever happened in reality.{{book ref|sa2|45}}

He has some understanding of the political machinations among [[Veden]] [[lighteyes]].{{book ref|sa2|39}}

|He loved Helaran, and none of us are him, so we don’t matter. Helaran is never here! He betrayed Father, almost killed him. And still, he’s the only one who matters. . . .

Jushu was born as Van Jushu, the youngest of the Davar brothers; he and [[Wikim]] are fifteen months older than Shallan.{{book ref|sa2|45}} Little is known of his youth, but he felt that his father always favored [[Helaran]] and [[Shallan]] over his other children, and recounted that [[Lin]] only ever had curses for him. Jushu was subjected to many fits of Lin's temper, and was bitter towards his father.{{book ref|sa2|27}}{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}

As Jushu became a teenager, Lin's anger and neglect took its toll, and Jushu began gambling and drinking heavily. Around {{Rosharan date|1168}}, he showed up drunk to a feast held by Lin for other lighteyes, which was sure to anger Lin. He was present when Shallan saw her mother's "soul" in a strongbox, athoughalthough he could not see anything.{{book ref|sa2|27}} About a year later, he attended another feast at the Davar estate, and engaged in some friendly banter with his siblings. After [[Redin]] interrupted the feast seeking someone to testify against Lin, Jushu seemed to consider it, but quickly lost his nerve.{{book ref|sa2|39}}

As historic events began occurring across [[Roshar]], Shallan felt guilty about abandoning her brothers. She lost contact with them after losing her [[spanreed]] on the ''[[Wind's Pleasure]]'' and became increasingly worried after learning of the [[Veden civil war]].{{book ref|sa2|31}} After [[Urithiru]] was discovered, she wrote them a number of letters telling them to come live with her there, but she did not receive any response.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Shallan eventually learned from [[Mraize]] that the Davar lands had fallen and that he was bringing her family to Urithiru; her service to the Ghostbloods as Veil would fulfill the debt of the broken Soulcaster.{{book ref|sa2|88}}

Shallan believes that Jushu harbors some resentment towards her due to Lin's favoritism,{{book ref|sa2|39}} although he does not seem to lash out at her. He usually laughs at her jokes, even if they are not that funny.{{book ref|sa2|39}}{{book ref|sa3|44}} Shallan never forgets that Jushu held her on the night that their mother died.{{book ref|sa2|48}} She cares for Jushu, and she believes that he is a good man that was broken by Lin's actions.{{book ref|sa2|39}} She tries to distract him from gambling by suggesting that he watch duels instead, since she knows that he is interested in swordplay.{{book ref|sa2|45}} She often thinks about Jushu and her other brothers after leaving Jah Keved and she feels responsible for them.{{book ref|sa1|33}} After Lin's death, Jushu and Shallan no longer bond over defying him, and Shallan worries that they could drift apart. However, she does not fully trust Jushu due to his ongoing addictions, and cannot always tell if he is being genuine. They still attempt some banter, but their interactions become more awkward.{{book ref|sa4|13}}
