Is Brigitte adopted?

Honest question. If dwarfism is technically a genetic birth defect and if both parents have it that means the chances of their kids having it is damn near 100%. Then why is it legal for two people with the disorder to be able to mate? If you think about it incest is illegal because inbreed kids have a much higher chance of being born with something wrong with them. So its basically the same thing.

I never thought about that before, but I guess it’s so rare of a condition that it doesn’t really raise a stink with a lot of people. My sister gave birth to a child who has downs syndrome and she gets an insane amount of hate from strangers because she didn’t have an abortion.

How do you know she’s human? She might be half dwarf, half giant.
You never know.

I mean he for me a dwarf but probably he only has dwarfism (since if I know well ow world is not dwarf and elf based) and YES people with dwarfiam can have normal size babies. Genetics

“If both parents have achondroplasia ( common form of dwarfism) , there is a 25 percent chance their child will inherit the non- dwarfism gene from each parent and thus be average-size.”

She gets her beauty and height from her momma



Many genetics have been known to skip generations (such as freckles, hair colours, eye colours, height and health conditions).
I mean im the only one in my family with brown straight hair, but i look exactly like my grandma

half of Brigs siblings look identical to her and none are dwarves:

Torbjorn doesn’t have dwarfism. He’s just really short.

I think the older one in front of Brigitte is Torbjörn’s younger daughter (Brigitte is Torbjörn’s older daughter), the blondy one on left is Torbjörn’s the youngest daughter and the rest 6 kids are Torbjörn’s grandchildren.

Brigitte is Torbjorn’s youngest daughter. All the other children there are his grandchildren.

  1. Torb’s not a dwarf; he might’ve been sick for the first five years of his life, or just poor nutrition
  2. Look at Torb’s Ironclad skin, and look at Brig, they look kind of alike
