When i saw this images i was in doubt if she could be a midget 

If she is 4'10" or shorter, she would be classified as a little person. When
used to refer to a person, the word "midget" is considered to be offensive.

I know you meant no offense. I was just saying. The accepted term
is "little person".

If I understand it correctly, "dwarfism" is the genetic condition that
causes a person to be 4'10" or shorter, so I don't think "dwarf" is
unacceptable. But, I'm no expert.
