A character who’s popped up recently in my Equestria dreamscape and will be joining as being Princess Twilight’s second Mare-in-Waiting. Her name is Silky Braids and she’s technically taking over managing cooking duties and the growing kitchen staff in Twilight’s Castle.
 
Now the show has shown all ponies to some degree but especially earth ponies using their manes and tails to lift, move, and even throw objects with what I’ve describe as being prehensile hair. Extreme examples in the show being Pinkie Pie Link and the Mane-iac. Link  
Silky Braid is one of those earth ponies who’s talent has allows her to use her mane and tail as additional limbs. This is very advantageous in the kitchen and for other activities.
 
Usually the Silky Braids keeps her very, very long mane and tail wrapped in braids. Depending on how much flexibility she needs from them she’ll start to unwrap more and more of them. And if things fall into the pot then they get let loose.
