His siblings are [[Helaran Davar|Helaran]], [[Balat Davar|Balat]], his older twin [[Wikim Davar|Wikim]], and [[Shallan Davar|Shallan]].
Jushu is [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] and presumably has the characteristic red hair of the Davar family.{{book ref|sa1|3}} He grows rather plump during his periods of living in excess;{{book ref|sa2|48}} he is known to drink a lot of wine.{{book ref|sa2|27}}{{book ref|sa2|45}} He has scars on both wrists.{{book ref|sa2|73}}
He shares some resemblance to his twin brother Wikim, but they would not be mistaken for one another.{{book ref|sa2|45}} Although they both have sunken eyes,{{book ref|sa2|39}}{{book ref|sa2|73}} Wikim is noticeably thinner than Jushu.{{book ref|sa2|45}} Jushu also wears his hair longer than Wikim{{book ref|sa2|27}}{{book ref|sa2|39}} and looks older than his twin.{{book ref|sa2|45}}
Jushu was a happy, smiling child, and as he grew up he remained quicker to laugh than his twin.{{book ref|sa4|13}} Even in his darkest moments, he will engage in gallows humor with Shallan as a coping mechanism.{{book ref|sa2|48}}{{book ref|sa4|13}}
Jushu has problems with addiction; Balat believes he was driven to vice by years of suffering their father’s brutal temper.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}} Shallan also thinks Jushu is a good man that could not be blamed for his vices.{{book ref|sa2|27}} He likes to gamble, and will wager anything available to him, including any gemstones in his clothing.

Mraize fulfilled his promise and Jushu, Wikim, Balat, and Eylita arrived in Urithiru after the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]. Jushu's clothes were worn and he had lost some weight. The family reunited with Shallan and attended her wedding to [[Adolin Kholin]].{{book ref|sa3|122}}
Jushu and his brothers were given quarters near Shallan's in Urithiru. Shallan visited often, but she felt some regret about the way that she perceived Jushu and the rest of her family after having changed so much since leaving her childhood home. Jushu had to be watched constantly to ensure that he did not steal things and pawn them for gambling money. He unknowingly befriended Mraize, who was posing as a guardsman named Gobby.{{book ref|sa4|13}}
== Relationships ==
=== Shallan ===
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}}
