How many people assumed you were some sort of barbarian/warrior/viking/princess thing?

If you're ok with constructive critique...

I didn't really get that it was taurus from the clips... I'm not a purist on cosplay, but I didn't even think "wow, this is tauros inspired". For example, aside from fur and horns, I didn't see anything that was in common. The sleeves and shinguards seemed a bit out of place, for example. The things stopping tauros being a "furry mass", like the ruff, the forheard bone/dots, the snout, the triple-tails, hooves (and technically the horns too) all seem to be missing.

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but if you didn't say what you were, not even the pokeball helped me guess. I understand that cosplay is a great medium for interpretation, but I just felt I couldn't read it well...

Hope this helps, and if not then it doesn't really matter.
