Edit: thank you for your comments, folks. I have my answers and appreciate you all's help.


I'm writing a story with a character with dwarfism, but fantasy-style dwarves already exist in this world so I'd like another word for her.

I may change it though because idk much about dwarfism and don't wanna risk her falling into any disrespectful stereotypes I'm not aware of.

I would think any setting where dwarves or halflings exist someone with dwarfism would probably be called a halfbreed or cursed or something else not exactly nice.
