Oh yes
and in Applejack's case, Earth ponies sometimes appear to have the gift of super strength, in Applejack's case it makes sense because she works on a farm, I think Maud Pie also displayed feats of brute force and durability when she saved Pinkie Pie from a rockslide.
I don't know where to begin with that one, I suppose I could tell you about the part of the fanfic where my OC was in Everfree Forest.
On an Afternoon in Everfree Forest, a trio of Pegasi Ponies were out to get some exercise, and to appreciate the beauty of nature and the various friends of the forest that inhabited the lush surroundings, it is here, Fluttershy raises awareness about the hazards that exist within the forest also. She lets out "Um, you may want to be careful around here, there is a creature known as a cockatrice, one look can turn you to stone."
Rainbow Dash confirms with a smirk "I would listen to her if I were you, she knows a lot about animals, we don't want you becoming a statue!"
Dawnshine Wonder some moments later, as the trio of Pegasi move deeper into the forest, becomes a little too adventurous, she spots a creature off into a distance, it's a cockatrice, excited and with naive curiosity, she exclaims "That is so cute, I want to pet it" as she walks toward the creature, failing to had listen to her friends advice.
Rainbow Dash witnessing a disaster waiting to happen, exclaims in a panic "No Dawnshine, don't!"
Fluttershy responds "I'll get her" with a serious tone and then gallops toward Dawnshine Wonder
Fluttershy with stealth like a ninja sneaks up on Dawnshine Wonder, then intercepts her by popping up in front of her, stopping her in her tracks
And then begins using the stare on her, looking into Dawnshine Wonder's eyes firm and steady.
Dawnshine Wonder caught by surprise, is shocked by the jump scare Fluttershy successfully pulled on her, then with her heart racing, clearly startled, realizes the gravity of the situation and how serious her friends were about their warning, lets out "Okay, I get the point!" before walking away from both the cockatrice and Fluttershy with her head down, with rose red cheeks as she blushed from embarrassment.
Rainbow Dash witnessing this, can no longer contain her laughter, and she falls to the ground, rolling while laughing after seeing Dawnshine Wonder get startled by Fluttershy's stare.
As Dawnshine Wonder sees this, still flushed with embarrassment from the jump scare she received, she lets out "I've never seen Fluttershy so serious before, this is so embarrassing!"
Rainbow Dash after pulling herself back to an upright position, still giggling, smirks and lets out "You deserved it! We told you not to go near that cockatrice, but you went near one anyway, pay attention next time, you were lucky we were around to save you."
Fluttershy overhearing this responds with concern, softly lets out with thoughtfulness "I did not mean any harm, I just wanted to make sure you were safe."
I doubt I was the only fan who fantasized about doing this, getting the stare from Fluttershy.
But this would be a cool way to bond friendship with them.
