bent back

When the back forms an almost "C" or bow shape caused by bending forward. The opposite of arched back, which is caused by bending backwards. In this the middle of the spine is further behind/up than the top and bottom of the spine.

Sometimes seen when spooning or a character is otherwise curled around something.

Not to be confused with backbend. For the less extreme version, use slouching.
