Shoebill's hairstyle is written as low side ponytail in her wiki.
However, i think she just has a tied lock of hair in front of her left ear. Therefore it should be tag with sidelocks ( with tress ribbon and short hair with long locks, depend on how the artist drawn) rather than low-side-ponytail.
I consider changing her wiki and re-tag all her posts later.
Are there any other thoughts on this proposition?
The only way it can be considered to be a side ponytail is if you treat the rest of her hair as head_wings. Her hair doesn't really look like wings, though; it's usually drawn as a messily parted hairstyle rather than the feathered wings the wiki suggests.
I think a better tag is single_sidelock.

Her concept art and game appearances make it clear that they're intended as fully prehensile wings (as in post #3485795), but the anime art style is ambiguous, causing some artists to misinterpret them as hair.
In any case, I think it takes up too much of her hair to be considered a sidelock, unless the artist minimizes it.
