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. | |||

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 | 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. | ||
There, she befriends Quasimodo, who helps her escape and develops feelings for her, although she sees him as a dear friend. Later, she seeks his aid in order to shelter Phoebus, Frollo's former Captain of the Guard and who had rebelled against Frollo. Esmeralda falls in love with Phoebus but is forced to leave when Frollo returns. In the film's climactic scene, she is threatened with execution unless she becomes Frollo's mistress, but Esmeralda refuses and is saved from being burned by Quasimodo. Quasimodo protects the weakened Esmeralda from Frollo until Frollo is killed. In the aftermath, Esmeralda chooses Phoebus, and Quasimodo blesses their relationship. | There, she befriends Quasimodo, who helps her escape and develops feelings for her, although she sees him as a dear friend.
