I went back to the first time I found this folk tale, when I was studying in NJIT. It was a studio class for character modelling and I used BLENDER.
I went back to those files and the shots I had, where I played around the idea of 2d planes in 3d environments.
I added a light underneath a 2d plane of fire, to explore how light will affect the puppet when it’s used to mimic fire, without dealing with fire effects itself.

ANAHÍ (Canción Paraguaya) (Leyenda de la flor del ceibo)
Anahí... las arpas dolientes hoy lloran arpegios que son para ti recuerdan a caso tu inmensa bravura reina guaraní, Anahí, indiecita fea de la voz tan dulce como el aguaí. Anahí, Anahí, tu raza no ha muerto, perduran sus fuerzas en la flor rubí. Defendiendo altiva tu indómita tribu fuiste prisionera Condenada a muerte, ya estaba tu cuerpo envuelto en la hoguera y en tanto las llamas lo estaban quemando en roja corola se fue transformando... La noche piadosa cubrió tu dolor y el alba asombrada miro tu martirio hecho ceibo en flor. Anahí, las arpas, dolientes hoy lloran arpegios que son para ti recuerdan a caso tu inmensa bravura reina guaraní, Anahí, indiecita fea de la voz tan dulce como el aguaí. Anahí, Anahí, tu raza no ha muerto, perduran sus fuerzas en la flor rubí.

New Research_About Anahi
Stumbled upon a website from indigenous researchers in South America and found other versions of the original story that adds up to Anahi as a whole character.
The flower El Ceibo is the soul of Indigenous Queen Anahi.
Anahi had brown skin, short women around 4'9 (1.50m).
Anahi was the most rebel in her tribe and lover of freedom who was obsessed with birds in the woods.
Anahi was holder of a deep knowledge of every corner and every bird species of her town.
Every time Anahi sang, nature stopped to listen: every single bird will remain silent to listen to her songs.
She was trapped in a short tree with wide leaves in the middle of the woods as execution site.
She was burnt at night time, and when she starts transforming the sun starts rising (earlier than usual).

New Research_About Guarani
Stumbled upon a website from indigenuos researchers in South America and found other versions of the original story that adds up to Anahi as a whole character.
The flower El Ceibo is the soul of Indigenous Queen Anahi. It’s known as the flower which holds the pure and brave soul of a race that no longer exists. The Guarani’s used to be nomads that believed that nature was their home and never settled in the same place. After the conquerors arrived, they had to divide into smaller communities and spread into Argentina and Paraguay and settle. This changed their culture, habits, what life meant and how to live it.
El Ceibo was declared the National flower of Argentina on December 1942. The red color of this flower is known in Argentina as the color of fertility (land, mind, culture and birth).
The wood of the Ceibo tree is light-weight and porous, used for construction of rafts, hives and aeromodelling toys.
Admirers of the flower avoid taking the flower because its branches have a kind of stingers.
The name of the community where this story took place was the Guayaquí tribe, family member of the Guaraníes. They were people with a strong character, very jealous of their land, which they were capable of defending until death. As any origin tribe they were characterized for the love of their race. The Spanish conquerors considered them witches, and children of the devil. Since they came with all the superstition of Europe and in their eagerness to steal land and gold, they used to burned the tribes at the stake.

Guaraní Creation Myth Gods
The primary figure in most Guaraní creation legends is Tupã, the supreme god of all creation. With the help of the moon goddess Arasy, Tupa descended upon the Earth in a location specified as a hill in the region of Aregúa, Paraguay, and from that location created all that is found upon the face of the earth, including the ocean, forests, and the animals. It is also said that the stars were placed in the sky at this point.
Tupã then created humanity (according to most Guaraní myths, the Guaraní were naturally the first race of people to be made, with every other civilization being born from it) in an elaborate ceremony, forming clay statues of man and woman with a mixture of various elements from nature. After breathing life into the human forms, he left them with the spirits of good and evil and departed.
The gods explained here, are different than explained elsewhere
Early Humanity
The original humans created by Tupa were Rupave and Sypave, whose names mean "Father of the people" and "Mother of the people", respectively. The pair had three sons and a large but unspecified number of daughters. The first of their sons was Tumé Arandú, considered to be the wisest of men and the great prophet of the Guaraní people. Second of their sons was Marangatú, a benevolent and generous leader of his people, and father of Kerana, the mother of the seven legendary monsters of Guaraní myth (see below). Their third son was Japeusá, who was from birth considered a liar, a thief and a trickster, always doing things backwards to confuse people and take advantage of them. He eventually committed suicide, drowning himself in the water, but he was resurrected as a crab, and since then all crabs are cursed to walk backwards much as Japeusá did.
Among the daughters of the Rupave and Supave was Porâsý, notable for sacrificing her own life in order to rid the world of one of the seven legendary monsters, diminishing their power (and thus the power of evil as a whole).
Several of the first humans were considered to have ascended upon their deaths and become minor deities.
The Seven Legendary Monsters
Kerana, the beautiful daughter of Marangatú, was captured by the personification or spirit of evil called Tau. Together the two had seven sons who were cursed of the high goddess Arasy, and all but one were born as hideous monsters. The seven are considered primary figures in Guaraní mythology, and while several of the lesser gods or even the original humans are forgotten in the verbal tradition of some areas, these seven were generally maintained in the legends. Some of them are even believed in down to modern times in some rural areas. The seven sons of Tau and Kerana are, in order of their births:
Teju Jagua, god or spirit of caverns and fruits
Mbói Tu'ĩ, god of waterways and aquatic creatures
Moñái, god of the open fields. He was defeated by the sacrifice of Porâsý
Jasy Jatere, god of the siesta, only of the seven to not appear as a monster
Kurupi, god of sexuality and fertility
Ao Ao, god of hills and mountains
Luison, god of death and all things related to it

Narrator
(sounds of harsh footsteps of soldiers, clinging of chains, lighting very dark)
Esto nunca debió de haber sucedido; la historia debió haber sido diferente. Éramos una tribu muy feliz.
This was never supposed to happen; the story was supposed to be different. We were a happy tribe.
(cut to the flashback)
Panpaná era nuestro orgullo, el baile era nuestra forma de agradecer a los dioses por todo lo que nos otorgaba y la tierra fértil que nos confirieron. ¿Escuchan la voz? La naturaleza si, y reaccionaba a su magia dándonos bendiciones todos los días. Pero luego llegaron esos demonios; monstros de cara pálida que nos quitaron todo: nuestra tierra, nuestros dioses y nuestra libertad.
Panpaná was our pride, dancing was our way of thanking our gods for all they gifted us and the fertile land that we were confide. Do you hear the voice? Nature did and reacted to its magic blessing us every single day. But then, these demons arrived: white skin monsters who took everything from us: our lands, our gods, and our freedom.
(muted until roots break the lock)
Luego de mucho tiempo de vigilia, algo tenía que hacerse, ¿cierto? Tenia que cantar para que la naturaleza reaccionara y quebrara los candados para poder escapar, ¿cierto? Pero nadie controla a la naturaleza, ella solo reacciona a nuestras plegarias. No solo ayudó a escapar, pero desató su ira por lo que los ‘cara pálida’ le hicieron a su adorada tribu.
After many nights in vigil, something needed to be done, right? To sing was needed so nature reacted and broke the locks to escape, right? But no one controls nature, she just reacts to our prayers. Not only helped to escape but unleashed its wrath for what the white skin men did to its beloved tribe.
(nature chokes a guard while Anahi escapes)
Y lo único que se puede escuchar es a estos ‘basura con patas’ de guardias gritando “Bruja, bruja, ¡ella es una bruja!”.
And all you could hear is the other guards screaming “A WITCH, A WITCH, SHE’S A WITCH.”
(cuts to flash backs, no narrator).
¡No existe posibilidad que mi tribu le rindiera pleitesía a estos ‘cara pálida’! ¡Cantarles canciones de esperanza y valentía fueron necesarias para ayudarlos a no quebrarse al ser forzados a presenciar esta atrocidad! ¡No necesitábamos ser culturizados, nosotros también merecíamos respeto!
There is no possibility my tribe was going to pay homage to these beings! Singing them songs of bravery and hope was necessary to help them not to break down while forced to watch this atrocity! We didn’t need to be culturalized, we deserved respect too!
(Anahi keeps singing, transforms into a tree)
El fuego que la aterrorizaba reaccionó y escuchó el lamento de su corazón. Anahí era la hija de nuestro Chaman y descendiente de la diosa de la naturaleza, por ende, tuvo sentido que su mágica voz provocara que el fuego la convirtiera en nuestro símbolo de esperanza y valentía. Preciosas flores rojas florecieron frente a su sufrimiento y así fue como fuimos bendecidos con esta hermosa flor, la flor nacional de Argentina: El Ceibo.
The fire that once terrified her, reacted and listened to her heart’s cries. Anahi was the shaman’s daughter and the descendant of the goddess of nature, so it made sense that her magical voice provoked fire to convert her into our symbol of hope and bravery. Stunning red velvet flowers bloomed in the face of her suffering and this is how we were blessed with this beautiful flower, the national flower of Argentina: El Ceibo.
