That consists of Sophia Nomvete, who auditioned for the function of Disa– the very first female dwarf illustrated on-screen in the Tolkien universe– while pregnant. “I auditioned for this role when I was two days away from giving birth,” she discussed, including that she got the function when her child was 5 days old which her outfit needed to be created for simple nursing.
