So apparently she’s Torbjorn’s daughter. However, Torbjorn is 3 feet tall and she’s 6 feet tall. What gives? Did Torbs wife have an affair? With Rein!? Hmmm. These are the things that keep me up at night.
Torb’s wife isn’t short. Genes aren’t that simple either.

Torb wasnt naturally this short. He had a turret fall on his head one day.

It makes perfect sense genetically. All types of dwarfism that I know of are recessive, meaning that the child would need genes for it from BOTH parents to have the condition. Brigitte is likely a carrier for it, but in irl little person/big person parentage, there’s a mix of dwarfism and non-dwarfism among the children.

But he says he’s not a dwarf all the time.
Actually, funny story. I’m a biology major and pre-med student. I study anatomy and genetic disorders and, well… in all the types of dwarfism I know, especially the most common, mostly bony and cartilaginous tissue is effected. Which means that the size of… other parts… are normal. And therefore vastly larger proportionally. Also the reason why little people tend to have somewhat pot-belly looking stomachs. Because the size of internal organs is largely uneffected.
There. That is a thing you now know.
You are welcome. xD
Sincerely,
A rather twisted and sleep deprived med student.

size doesn’t matter…
