Well, Fandom says "she doesn't need it, she WANTS it"It all started when A background pony called Lyra was sitting on a bench... unlike Bon-Bon, another pony sitting next to her, Bon-Bon sits like most pony/horses do... Lyra, on the other hand, sits like a human... feet downward, arms on the side and using her plot to balance herself on the bench...These sightings make the fandom think... "what's up with that??"... then theories came and it was the beginning of a "meme"...That Lyra knows Humans exist and wants to be one... how they sit, even human activities... but she wants one thing... Hands... to act like humans...This is only my opinion and sorry if that^ is long...Most fanart of lyra is like her doing human activities... like sittin'...This isn't Canonhope that answers your question
