true dwarf
A true dwarf, in the context of astronomy, refers to a star of relatively small size and low brightness. This term is often associated with "white dwarfs", which are remnants of stars like our Sun that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. When referring to human height, a "true dwarf" generally indicates someone with a medical or genetic condition resulting in short stature, typically defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 centimeters) or less. The most common form of this is Achondroplasia, a type of short-limbed dwarfism. It's important to note that "dwarf" or "dwarfism" can be sensitive terms, and people with these conditions often prefer the terms "short stature" or "little person". In the world of botany, a "true dwarf" refers to a plant that is naturally small and does not grow very tall or spread very wide, even under the best of conditions. For example, true dwarf conifers will usually remain under 3 feet in height even after a decade of growth. In fantasy literature and games, a "true dwarf" usually refers to a character or race of characters who are of short stature, often characterized by their strength, endurance, connection to the earth or skill in craftsmanship and battle.
