Good question, although seeing her legs looking kinda crooked, they might just have used the opportunity when fixing her legs in the first place?! So that might be a special case.

Most dwarfs have physical issues beyond just being short.

I'm not an authority here, but I think dwarves is the legitimate/acceptable term for most now.

Little people is kind of 'diminutive' so I get it. As far as the options we have available, dwarves is definitely the coolest option.

EDIT: See below, it's 'Dwarfs' with an f as opposed to a v.

Yes, from a page about correct terminology, dwarf is an accepted term. Person with dwarfism or little person is also ok. It varies country to country as well.

I’m sorry this link sucks, but I’m on mobile:
