I think this is interesting, specially if we consider the cultural relevance of the bulls in hispanoamerican countries after the Spanish introdoced them in America.

Altough, I woludn't discard the possibility of her animal elements being inpired by the American Bison. Some playable characters have some relation to the animals of the tribe, usually observable in the saurian of the tribe.

Example: in the Nanatzcayan tribe, we have the Tepetlisaurus. Tepetl means mountain in Nahuatl, and stablishes the inspiration of the tribe around the motifs of the god Tepeyollotl (meaning "heart of the mountain), who was usually represented as an Ocelotl (meaning "Jaguar or Ocelot") , animal we can find in Xilonen design. Or in the Mictlan tribe, we found the Iktomisaurus; Iktomi being a spider spirit of the Lakota people. You can find spiders, which alongside owls and bats on this tribe, references some of the animals associated with the god of Mictlan, Mictlantecuhtli (lord of the dead). You could also find elements of those 3 animals in the saurian, and Citlali & Ororon.

So following this logic, it wouldn't surprise me if the animal of the tribe is a Bison. The saurian of Varesa's tribe, Teteocan, is the Tatankasaurus. Tatanka means "Bison" for the Lakota people. Alotough ir could also be horned animals in general. Examples of this pattern having more generalized animals, could be found in Tlalocan tribe, which have Ququsaurs (Q'uq means "Quetzal" in mayan), but their characters are inspired by different birds, like Chasca with a Condor and Ifa with its pink Cacatua.
