Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the bull and ruled by the planet Venus (also the roman goddess of love and beauty). Taurus being an earthy, fixed sign, its natives are extremely strong and steady, and are often compared to mountains.
Making a Taurus individual angry can be annoyingly hard, since they can bear indignities and pain for many years without a single complaint: but once they blow up, a destructive force, compared to that of a volcano, is unleashed, and you'd better beware their blind rage. However, Taureans are usually not violent at all. In fact, May-born are the most placid, self-controlled individuals in the zodiac, so instead of going out of their way to hurt you, they'd rather just be left alone. The bull will take all kinds of insults and pain, keeping his emotions to himself, but once he's reached his limit, his fury will be impossible to stop.
The Taurean nonchalance shouldn't be mistaken for apathy or disinterest, since they are perfectly aware of their surroundings: even if their air of imperturbality often makes you feel like you're talking to a brick wall. Making a Taurus form a new opinion is about as hard as making him angry. He needs a lot of time to change his points of view, but once he does, he will remain loyal to them for the rest of his life. Taureans are said to be the stabilizing factor in society. A Taurus is easily happy, as long as he can follow the same routine for many years; sometimes, even an entire life. Taureans don't accept changes well, and should be warned about them a while before they actually happen.
They also have a lot of inertia in them. Yet, though they may be slow to get moving, once they are in motion they are impossible to stop and will not give up until they've reached their goals, never succumbing to outside influences when pursuing them. For that fact, they are considered the most stubborn individuals in the zodiac: even more than Aries. They're very proud, and won't easily admit they were wrong. In fact, they will continue to defend their point of view even if they've been proved wrong.
Taureans are great friends who can actually be counted on, for they will always be there for you when you need them. Their attribute is constancy, and you'll have comfort in knowing that, like a great mountain, they'll weather even the toughest of times and come away just as before, but stronger. Definitely the strong, silent type, their calm exterior reflects the strength of inner convictions.
Physically, Taureans tend to have dark hair and an overall serene appearance, combining great mildness with great strength. They're charming, seductive, and very, very sensual. It is extremely hard to resist them, as they're considered the most appealing individuals in the zodiac. They have a huge need for comfort, pleasure in all its forms, and material goods. Still, they can offer a very stable relationship and are extremely romantic.
I believe Tifa can be considered a typical Taurus; most likely, a great portion of the factors mentioned above were taking into consideration by the character designers when making her a native of this sign. Whether you agree or not is totally up to you.
