The challenge for me was the hind section which has adipose fin (top), anal fin (bottom), and caudal fin (tail). I figured out that the anal fin can be made using a sunken sawhorse molecule: The paper that got pushed up is suitable for this fin. I can place this part near the end of diagonal and the excess paper in the corner can be used for caudal fin. For the adipose fin, I thought to somehow use the excess paper in the edge.
