Parnesse, the Subtle Brush is a vampire wizard of the Maestros family in New Capenna.
Description
Parnesse is the daughter of Toluz and wife of Errant.[1]
History
Being skilled and confident enough to paint a vampire is a valuable skill that leads to a dangerous job. They can't see themselves in mirrors, see? So the way you paint 'em is the way they see themselves. Lotta risk there, lotta reward. Even for other vampires, who run every risk from getting a stake through them for a poor review to never getting their own portrait done.
Parnesse is one of the best, a portrait artist who specializes in painting vampires not necessarily how they look, but how they wish to be seen. She has a subtle brush—and a flashy bit of Obscura magic (a gift, from a friend)—that helps her see her subjects most confident self-image. A touch of smoother skin here, a lift of the fang there, a tug over there—the vampires who commission a portrait from Parnesse see themselves clearer and more beautiful (or fearsome) than ever, and for that, they keep Parnesse paid in full and booked for the foreseeable future.[2]

Note
It is possible that Magic Story mixed up Parnesse and Errant's names. Errant, supposedly Anhelo's daughter, is an unaffiliated street artist in the cards. Parnesse, Toluz's daughter, for some reason is a Maestros vampire while her mother is a high ranking Obscura. The story about Toluz and Anhelo bringing the Obscura and Maestro families together with this wedding, seems incredibly weird if Toluz' daughter is already a Maestro.
The published bio about Parnesse seems to heavily support this theory since it says that Parnesse uses an Obscura device that's a gift from a friend, which would imply from her lover/wife Errant, the Obscura daughter.
