Riku arrives in the city as Esmeralda escapes from Frollo and Phoebus through a magic trick and then runs past him. Phoebus approaches Riku and questions if he saw a gypsy had passed him, which he denies. Once Phoebus is gone, a grateful Esmeralda introduces herself to Riku and expresses her gratitude to him for not revealing her location to Frollo's right-hand man. Riku replies that he did not know what a gypsy is, prompting Esmeralda to explain her people's history and Frollo's hatred of gypsies, and that they are guilty of nothing except loving their freedom. After Esmeralda makes a comment about Frollo's darkness, she directs Riku to Notre Dame for more answers about the judge. | Riku arrives in the city as Esmeralda escapes from Frollo and Phoebus through a magic trick and then runs past him.

Sometime later, she is seen unconscious and being held by Quasimodo after he rescues her from being burned by Frollo. At Riku's request, Quasimodo keeps an eye on her while he defeats the [[Wargoyle]]. In the end, a troubled Riku informs he gave a thankful Quasimodo advice based on his own experiences. When Phoebus notes that Riku still keeps many things locked inside his heart, Esmeralda assures him it is okay to keep some things locked up inside until he knows how to deal with them. | |||

True to her | True to her gypsy heritage, Esmeralda is very lively and free-spirited young woman with a strong sense of justice. Stubborn and adamant against Judge Frollo's discrimination against gypsies, Esmeralda is constantly arguing or acting against him. | ||
Esmeralda is one of the few people who are initially and unreservedly kind to Quasimodo. Although the two are never thought of romantically, at least to Esmeralda, they remain good friends, a bond further united by their disapproval of Frollo's dark deeds. Initially distrustful of Phoebus due to his loyalty to Frollo, Esmeralda eventually begins to trust him after seeing him turn against Frollo. | Esmeralda is one of the few people who are initially and unreservedly kind to Quasimodo.

Esmeralda was originally the titular character and one of the main protagonists in the 1831 novel ''Notre-Dame de Paris'' by Victor Hugo, but this incarnation of the character appeared for the first time in the 1996 adaptation, ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''. She first makes herself known when she meets Quasimodo at the Festival of Fools and is the only one not repulsed by his deformed appearance, but she manages to land herself in trouble with the "law" by defending Quasimodo against a riot Judge Claude Frollo had deliberately refused to stop. When she openly defies Frollo, she becomes a fugitive and hides inside Notre Dame to avoid capture by Frollo's soldier-like thugs. | Esmeralda was originally the titular character and one of the main protagonists in the 1831 novel ''Notre-Dame de Paris'' by Victor Hugo, but this incarnation of the character appeared for the first time in the 1996 adaptation, ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''.
