I used to have a 14cm Elfdoll tiny BJD; she was the early form of Geordie. You can see her with Dom and some other dolls
here. I sold her because I really didn't like her and she wasn't very posable. Now that everyone and their friend is joining the LHF universe, I want to add a 14cm Elfdoll tiny back into the cast, not as a young child, but as an adult with
achondroplasia. This form of dwarfism, which Davry has, usually allows people to top out at about 3.5 to 4 feet [e.g., Davry]. However, in some cases, it results in very small people, such as Jyoti Amge, a teen in India who recently broke the record for world's smallest person. At 58cm and 11 pounds, she is just about the size and weight of an average 1:3 BJD. If you look at
photos of her, she's also incredibly charming and beautiful. She appears to be extroverted, friendly and welcoming of attention.
Given the exemplar of Jyoti Amge, I have decided that I'd like another person with achondroplastic dwarfism to join the LHF cast: Waverley Parker.
