Why does background keep returning to puppets after I've selected transparent background?

I'm trying to use Puppets from Puppet Marker.  So I selected a character and generate it after choosing transparent background.  The puppet then enters into the timeline mode, but it has the unwanted background again.  So I select transparent background in the triggers.  Then when I import an audio voice file to the scene, the puppet's default background once AGAIN shows up behind the character.  Why does Character Animator keep trying to give this puppet a background that I do not want? I want it to be and REMAIN transparent behind the puppet.

Alas, this is a problem with the puppet maker tool. The surest way to get rid of the background for these puppets is to right-click on the puppet and select "edit original." Then go into the original file and delete the background layers.

It's actually irritating, you know.  I generate the character "Cecy" WITHOUT a Background.  However, it imports WITH a background.  I then click on "no background" again (as I did before generating the character) and then when I scroll ahead in the timeline, voila, the background returns.   It would be helpful if I could just work without a background constantly popping back up.  I can record without the background, but it's very confusing because the second I stop, the background returns. Why won't Character Animator let me just work with the transparent background rather than keep throwing the background back into my scene?

It is really irritating, for sure! I have tried every workaround that I could come up with and it still puts up a solid background. It seems like it should be a simple fix. But maybe not...I hope that someone was able to successfully do this and will share their techniques!
