Tanama’s Story: Born from Nature, Fighting for the Future.

In the Tanama series, our hero, Rachelle, awakens from a mystical cocoon deep in the forest. Her powers were unlocked because women farmers planted trees, restoring the balance of nature. As Tanama, she fights to protect her homeland from destruction, facing an alien lizard race trying to exploit the earth’s resources.

Armed with ancient Taino artifacts and guided by her ancestors, Tanama stands against these threats—not just with her superpowers but with wisdom, courage, and the power of nature itself.
