Princess Disa is a character played by Sophia Nomvete in The Rings of Power television series by Amazon Studios.[1] The character does not appear in the legendarium and was created for the show.
Controversy
Disa was the first female dwarf revealed from the show and she was portrayed with little facial hair. Some fans took offense because they believed Dwarf-women have full beards.[2] Sophia Nomvete responded to this, explaining that Disa does have facial hair, although it is less prominent than most male dwarves, as she only has sideburns.[3]
