Description
In Flashbacks:
 * Greatly resembles his description in NR, albeit younger. His voice is loud and authoritative, opposite of Martha's voice.

In Nanu’s Revenge:
 * He is tall, easily 6’5”, tall enough to bang the top of his head on the doorframe. His skin is tanned from being out in the sun for ages, with blue eyes that resembled the ocean itself and long, blond hair that he puts into a ponytail. He often grows out a beard and moustache, but usually shaves it, leaving only stubble. Often has sunglasses perched upon the top of his head. He often wears light or sky blue, pink or purple shirts and blue jeans. His jacket is Davy's grey in colour, with two Alola Interpol patches on it.
 * His personality is calm, reserved, not unlike Martha, but unlike her, his voice is louder than hers and he is assertive, often butting in the conversations that don’t revolve around him.
 * His nickname is Ruby and Martha often shortened his name to it, but his friends do too rarely.
 * He is close to Martha and the two have been close friends for years, often sitting next to him when eating out.

In Nanu’s Paradise:
 * Resembles his description in NR, but has aged quite a bit. He now has dark marks under his eyes, as time has caught up with him. His hair now has grey streaks in it and has grown out his moustache and beard, both of which are greying.
 * His personality remains the same, though he has mellowed out quite a bit and doesn't stay out in the sun that much, as he's had benign skin cancer from being out in the sun so much.
