This wasn’t a naturally occurring phenomenon, at least for this specific character — she received that power by killing a previous Haruspex when she was young.

Orlando Bloom as Rycroft "Philo" Philostrate, an inspector of the Burgue Constabulary, investigating a dark conspiracy at the heart of the city. A half-fae passing as a human, and veteran of the war, he sympathizes with the fae to the disgust of many of his colleagues. Well, after watching seasons 1 and 2, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know: Ronan Vibert as Ritter Longerbane, Sophie's father, Absalom Breakspear's primary political opponent, and longtime advocate of fae subjugation. The Chicago Tribune wrote that the show is about government oppression, sexism, and elitism. [34] Travis Beacham, the original script writer and one of the executive producers, said that the show is also about class, race, and immigration. Despite the script being written 17 years before the show's production, the same issues were just as relevant by the time it aired. The show, based on a Victorian fantasy setting, served as a hypothetical space where political and social issues that reflected the real world could be safely discussed.
