Template:Enemy Quasimodo is a character who appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. He originates from the 1996 Disney film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Development

Quasimodo's first appearance is in the TGS 2011 trailer, in which he is shown holding an unconscious Esmeralda and offering to aid Riku against a massive Dream Eater inside Notre Dame. Further screenshots show him interacting with Esmeralda and Riku, and later with Sora, who orders him to flee from danger.

Appearance

Quasimodo is a deformed young man, with a large hunch on his back, along with a lump above his left eye. He also has a large nose and a massive central incisor. He is most frequently seen in a green shirt, black trousers and blue shoes.

Origin

Though Quasimodo's very first appearance was in 1831 in Victor Hugo's novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, this incarnation of the character first appears in the 1996 film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in which he is raised by Judge Claude Frollo inside the cathedral and forbidden from ever leaving, on the basis that such a heartless society would never accept him. Frollo's words almost come true when Quasimodo does sneak out to attend the Festival of Fools, where he is ridiculed and tortured by the cruel peasantry until a kind-hearted gypsy girl, Esmeralda, defies Frollo and defends Quasimodo from the cruel crowd. Quasimodo begins to fall in love with Esmeralda, and it is this love that leads him to rebel against Frollo's tyranny, which ultimately leads to a showdown between Quasimodo and Frollo atop the balconies of Notre Dame. Following Frollo's demise, Quasimodo is hailed a hero and accepted into the society at last.

Other appearances

The Sceptre and the Kingdom

When Esmeralda hides Sora and Riku from Frollo's guards, she introduces the newcomers to Quasimodo in the bell tower of Notre Dame's cathedral. Afterward, she and Quasimodo offer to hide them until the guards leave.
