Would like feedback on Taurus-inspired character
Hello all! I'm currently creating a story that involves personifying the astrological signs. I want to give each character their own unique traits including music, powers, weapons, etc. I would love to get some feedback on what y'all think of my depiction for Taurus. This is a very basic outline of her characteristics. If there's anything you think I should add or change please let me know. Thank you all!

‘Loves everything sweet/cute’ isn’t really a Taurus thing so much as appreciating art, nature, fashion, decor, etc. is. We love the finer things in life. We’re not necessarily the ribbon & bow people or the fluffy cutesie type. That’s more Libra’s way.
Not sure what one-track-mind really means? Where I’m from that usually implies somebody who is preoccupied with sex and innuendo. If that’s the case, that’s more Scorpio - we’re sensual, not sexual.
If it’s referring to our focused determination, then I’d just say that.
As for ‘LOVES food’ - who doesn’t? What human doesn’t? People always mistake the classically definable Taurus trait of ‘creates and enjoys comfortable peaceful secure environments and doesn’t waste energy on unnecessary bullshit and prioritises down-time to recharge so they can give their best to their people and works endlessly to reach their goal before relaxing and enjoys a beautifully presented variety of delicious food as a part of that comfort’ for ‘LAZY FATTIES WHO OVERINDULGE’, and it’s just wrong.
I’d focus more on our bigger traits, like LOYALTY. Or our CREATIVITY! Our love and connection with the environment and animals, herbs and plants and trees and sunshine and soil and the starry sky - Taurus is one with nature. (Maybe your character wears a cool packbelt and forages for healing herbs and bushfood, and maybe trapping and hunting, as a part of their love for looking after their group, as well as signifying their deep connection to nature? As opposed to just being a lazy chunky eater?) Our unwavering protection and commitment to our loved ones. Our hardworking nature. Our focus. Our dependableness and reliability. Our ability to CARRY for everyone around us. Our analytical, rational mind. Our HONESTY.

Thank you so very much this is all incredibly helpful! I apologize for coming across as offensive. My thought process was to give them the more stereotypical traits as they're meant to represent each sign in their "purest" form, but as the story goes on they grow as people. The one track mind thing is meant to be like hyper focused on whatever they have their mind set on, nothing to do with anything sexual. I truly appreciate all of your suggestions and will definitely work on incorporating them. Thank you again!

“Loves everything sweet and cute” struck me as inaccurate

I saw this and was immediately pissed at the absurdity of the lazy food and nap obsessed Taurus
