seven dwarfs
Cottage-sharing small miners
The seven dwarfs are the group of small miners who shelter Snow White in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale and its adaptations.
Disney's 1937 film gave them individual names and personalities—Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey—which have become the standard reference.
The phrase sometimes describes any small group with distinct character types.
