Iva Deshin

Iva Deshin is a human fledgling author, and the proprietor of the Chastity's Nook. As an NPC, Iva is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Deshin is in her 40s. She had wild and curly mousey brown hair that went past her shoulders. She wore a heavy sweater and big glasses.

When Caleb, Beau, and Jester visited Chastity's Nook, Iva Deshin introduced herself and offered her assistance. Amused at Caleb's claim that the Nook was "recommended" to him for literature, Iva quickly guided the trio to the adults-only back room of the shop. Caleb declined her enthusiastic recommendations of Tusk Love and Guard of My Heart, asking instead for something more along the lines of "historical fiction." Intrigued, Iva described a book that was banned by the Dwendalian Empire 15 years prior, entitled Courting of the Crick. After a furtive discussion of the contents of the tome and the rather hefty 15-gold price tag, she disappeared into another room to retrieve a copy. Ultimately, Caleb declined to purchase the book, citing the price tag and illicit nature of the book. However, Jester secretly purchased a copy of Tusk Love as a gift. After the sale, Iva proceeded to share with Beau some of her own romantic writings, which were overly wordy, with atrocious dialogue and some bizarre metaphors for farm equipment; it took a supreme effort for Beau to humor Iva with a smile and series of mild complements.
