!Victor Hugo's novel

[[folder: La Esméralda]]

* BreakTheCutie: Goes from a happy, carefree teenage girl to a despondent shell of her former self by the end of the novel through an attempted kidnapping, attempted rape, stalking, assault, being falsely accused for the murder of the man she's in love with, the subsequent torture and imprisonment, and being sentenced to death... ''twice'', just to name a few of her misfortunes.
* ChastityDagger: She keeps a knife under her skirt, which she uses to threaten Gringoire when he tries to come onto her.
* DamselInDistress: She is in need of rescuing several times in the story. [[spoiler:However, eventually nobody can save her from execution]].
* DudeMagnet: Lots of guys in the story are interested in her and this causes her no end of trouble.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Esmerelda believes Phoebus is a KnightInShiningArmor when he saves her from the hideous Quasimodo but he's really a jerkass who only wants her for sex and whose selfishness is ultimately responsible more than even Frollo for ruining her life.
* HotGypsyWoman: Not as you would expect or even definitively of UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} ancestry, but the story essentially treats her as so.
* TheIngenue: Innocent, virginal, pure... definitely an ingenue. How she remained pure and naive while hanging around with a bunch of thieves and prostitutes, and doing sexy dances in public is not clear.
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: The cute and innocent tenage girl is hanged at the end of the story.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: She falls for Phoebus the first time they meet; but she idealizes him and doesn't realize that he's a selfish jerk who only wants sex from her.
* MeaningfulName: Her name Esmeralda coming from her necklace, her real name (Agnès) meaning "lamb" or "pure/chaste", and Phoebus' nickname for her (Similar) being comparable to Quasimodo's name meaning something along the lines of "almost".
* RescueRomance: She falls in love with Phoebus after he rescues him from Quasimodo and Frollo who were trying to kidnap her.
* SilkHidingSteel: For the time that she can, she keeps a knife under her skirt despite it being explicitly illegal and will not hesitate to use it at the slightest provocation, all while being a demure and innocent teenage girl.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: If she wasn't so beautiful, none of the bad things in the novel would've happened because the assholes in the story wouldn't notice her.
* StalkerWithACrush: A recipient of this from Frollo and Quasimodo. Esmeralda herself is this to Phoebus because she believes him to be her knight in shining armor.
* TooDumbToLive: Esmeralda takes on severe shades of this when she's hiding in her mother's cell, trying to evade detection by the guards... and getting away with it... only to dash for the window and start crying for Phoebus the moment she hears his voice.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Quasimodo]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: Quasimodo has a combination of a mental disorder and social ineptness, which prevents him from properly functioning in society. Whether this is due to an organic condition or a lifetime of social isolation is unclear. This and his deformed appearance are the reason why he rarely goes outside.
* AntiHero: In the novel, Quasimodo is mischievious, mean, and socially inept. Despite his, he shows himself to be heroic by protecting Esmeralda, defending Notre Dame, and giving Frollo his just desserts.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason for his attachment to Frollo and Esmeralda is because they showed him kindness.
* CreepyGood: His hideous appearance and social ineptness are off-putting to many of the characters. However, he's a genuinely heroic character who defends Esmeralda and Notre Dame.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Inverted with [[spoiler: Esmeralda. She was already dead when he found her. He spent the rest of his life cradling her corpse. The DownerEnding ends with people trying to separate the skeletons, but the skeletons disintegrating instead.]]
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric in an ensemble of the four suitors (Quasimodo, Phoebus, Frollo, and Gringoire).
* GentleGiant: Downplayed. Except to the people he loves (all two of them), Quasimodo is unsociable, violent, and mean.
%%* GoThroughMe: Quasimodo's solution to his dual loyalties to Frollo and Esmeralda.
%%* GreeneyedRedhead
* TheGrotesque: Quasimodo is very physically deformed.
* HandicappedBadass: Quasimodo is knock-kneed, hunchbacked, and deaf, but physically formidable.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Quasimodo does what he can to make Esmeralda happy, including acting as a messenger to Phoebus, whom he knows to be a jerk.
* MeaningfulName: While the Disney movie tells us it means "half-formed", {{the other wiki}} tells us it means "almost the standard measure" (of a human being), but can also mean "similar to". Also named for the day he was adopted, Quasimodo Sunday.
%%* NotEvilJustMisunderstood
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Only in the English title (the original title is ''Notre Dame de Paris''), since the protagonist of the novel is Esmeralda.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Claude Frollo]]

* AgeLift: Most adaptations portray him as an old man. A few portray him around his real age (mid-thirties).
* AffablyEvil: Is a startlingly decent guy, in contrast to his movie counterpart because the "arch deacon" is part of his character.
* AntiVillain: He's much more likable than his Disney counterpart, to say the very least, because the benevolent "Arch Deacon" from the Disney version is part of his original characterization.
* BreakTheHaughty: Begins as arrogant and pompous and ends pathetic and self-hating through the course of the novel, which is not particularly kind to him.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic in an ensemble of Quasimodo, Phoebus, Frollo, and Gringoire.
* IfICantHaveYou: Decides to let Esmeralda hang when she refuses him. [[spoiler:He even laughed at the sight of her execution in the end.]]
* LaughingMad: He completely loses it at the end.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Falls for Esmeralda as soon as he sees her.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Frollo's unhealthy obsession with Esmeralda drives the plot.
* MeaningfulName: His full name means something similar to "crippled and weak". Make of that what you will.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: He attempted to kill Phoebus in a jealous rage. Depending on which film you watch, he either succeeds or fails.
* {{Omniglot}}: Speaks Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and French.
* PetTheDog: Before he became obsessed with Esmeralda, he had raised his little brother, he had taken in Quasimodo and treated him like a son, and he was a good archdeacon.
* PromotionToParent: Frollo's parents died while he was a young man, leaving him to raise his baby brother, and then Quasimodo, whom he adopted later.
* SanitySlippage: Frollo is slowly losing his mind due to his unrequited and forbidden lust for Esmeralda.
* SinisterMinister: Is self-centered, manipulative, and entitled despite being an archdeacon, though was originally a good man before his lust for Esmeralda sent him over the edge.
* TragicVillain: Frollo used to be a deeply compassionate and caring man. When baby Quasimodo was abandoned on the cathedral's foundlings bed, nobody would take him because of his ugliness, except Frollo, who raised him like a son. He also raised his younger brother, Jehan when their parents died, and supported him later, even though he disapproved of Jehan's lifestyle. He did evil things only because of his obsessive and unrequited love for Esmeralda, and it's described how much he's suffering (being aware that you're slowly going insane is NOT a pleasant process.)
* WickedCultured: Although he wasn't evil before he met Esmeralda, he fits very much the "cultured villain" trope: Frollo is a respected scholar and studies several languages, law, medicine, science and theology.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: A man who tried so hard to be genuinely good that his perverse lust drives him tragically insane.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Only in his mid-thirties, but looks much older and is nearly bald.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Jehan Frollo]]

* BigBrotherWorship: He loved his older brother dearly.
* TheHedonist: Jehan Frollo is the 15th century equivalent of a frat boy. Supposedly a student, he spends all of his freetime and (his brother's) money on hedonistic pursuits: expensive clothes, parties, and courting loose women.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Phoebus de Châteaupers]]

* TheCasanova: Spends much of his time courting other women, despite being engaged to Fleur-De-Lys.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine in a four suitors ensemble (compared to Quasimodo, Frollo, and Gringoire).
* {{Jerkass}}: He didn't care one bit about Esmeralda being in danger or dead.
* KarmaHoudini: He has no problem taking advantage of Esmeralda's innocence, or [[spoiler:letting her die]] on trumped up charges [[spoiler:including charges of his own murder]]. However, he suffers a tragic fate at the end: he gets married.
* KnightInShiningArmor: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Phoebus is this in Esmeralda's eyes because he saved her from a hideous cripple, and also has the appearance. The subversion comes in when he does not fit the heroic aspect. Rather than being chivalrous and noble, he's actually a drunk, a womanizer, and a bully, with virtually no idealistic qualities, behaving more like... well, like a medieval soldier.
* LightIsNotGood: He is a stereotypical knight and has a solar deity name. He's also a petty, selfish womaniser.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Pierre Gringoire]]

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic in a ensemble of the four suitors.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Gringoire was a real person.
* LovableCoward: While he's not a bad person by any means, if it all begins to endanger his well-being he'd really rather not.
* MrViceGuy: Gringoire is deemed a coward by the other characters but otherwise is easily the nicest character in the book.
%%* SexlessMarriage: With Esmeralda.
* StartingANewLife: He is forced to go into hiding from angry sponsors after his play bombs, and joins the Gypsies as a street performer.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Clopin Trouillefou]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: May be literally crazy, yet is a surprisingly competent and powerful leader.

[[folder: Djali]]

* InterspeciesFriendship: With Esmeralda, her human owner. [[spoiler: Also this for Gringoire]].
* NonHumanSidekick: A goat for Esmeralda. [[spoiler:Later becomes this for Gringoire instead]].

!Disney's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1996)

[[folder: Quasimodo]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hunchback_disney_quasimodo_1415.png]]
-> Voiced by: Tom Hulce

->''"Good morning. Will today be the day? Are you ready to fly? You sure? Good day to try! Why, if-if I picked a day to fly, oh, this would be it!"''

Quasimodo is the main protagonist. Quasimodo was born deformed, possessing a hunched back, from which the film takes its name. In spite of his ghastly appearance, Quasimodo is naïve, kind-hearted and knows little of the world outside his bell tower home from which he is forbidden to leave.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's considerably less repulsive here than in most versions, being more UglyCute than monstrous.
* AdaptationalHeroism: He's much less rude than his book counterpart.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Disney's Quasimodo is more intelligent then Hugo's version.
* {{Adorkable}}: His glee and following awkwardness at the Festival of Fools is comparable to a 20th century teenager at a schooldance.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He's ostracized by society because of his deformed figure.
* BashBrothers: With Phoebus later on in the film when they work together.
* BeastAndBeauty: The Beast to Madellaine's Beauty.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Esmeralda's act of kindness of defending Quasimodo during the Feast of Fools is what makes Quasimodo fall for her.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Phoebus' Veronica for Esmeralda's Archie. While he is hideous and mysterious, his shy and gentle nature better fit the Betty role than Phoebus. Esmeralda chooses Phoebus and Quasimodo gives both of them his blessing.
* BerserkButton: If Esmeralda's life is on the line, he can literally bring down walls.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Quasimodo is sweet and kind, almost to a [[ExtremeDoormat fault]], but if you cross him, look out.
* BigDamnHeroes: When he rescues Esmeralda from the pyre in the climax.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: The Big Guy to Zephyr's Little Guy; they're great friends.
%%* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Redhead to Phoebus's Blonde and Esmeralda's Brunette.
* ButtMonkey: A rare version that is most certainly ''not'' played for laughs. All the torment heaped on him ''looks'' comical to the festival goes but the viewer sees it as traumatic.
* CallingTheOldManOut: In the climax, Quasi is done listening to Frollo and chews him out for his cruelty.
* CharacterDevelopment: Starts out as extremely passive to his oppressive guardian, but gradually becomes more assertive and willing to oppose Frollo for the sake of his new friends.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: A lifetime of ringing Notre Dame's bells has made him incredibly athletic.
* CoolUncle: A cool uncle figure to Zephyr, the son of Phoebus and Esmeralda.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: No, he doesn't get Esmeralda in the end. [[spoiler:Averted in the sequel, where he falls in love and succeeds in getting Madellaine.]]
* EntitledToHaveYou: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] He does hope for a relationship with Esmeralda at first, and expressed longing for the kind of love he's seen watching couples from the bell-tower, but he never believes he ''deserves'' her. Quite the opposite. It takes the gargoyles to tell him (in their own way) how special he is for him to believe he has a chance, and in the end he shows no ill feelings toward the relationship between her and Phoebus and is in fact, happy for them.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Quasimodo demonstrates his compassion for living things and a longing to get out of the bell tower by helping a little bird learn how to fly.
* ExtremeDoormat: At first he lets people walk over him, but he starts to grow a spine.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Quasimodo is a bizarre subversion of this—his simple outfit is symmetrical, but his body (his hump is slightly offset to the right) and facial asymmetry isn't very attractive.
* FieryRedhead: {{Averted}}. In personality he's closer to a ShrinkingViolet.
* AFriendInNeed: Quasimodo is a very good friend, is loyal to Esmeralda and Phoebus and is incredibly supportive of both of them.
* FriendToAllChildren: His scene with the little girl at the end of the first film and his close relationship with Zephyr qualifies Quasi as this.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: His first scene is encouraging a bird to fly.
* GeniusBruiser: Strong enough to ring the bells of Notre Dame with ease. He's also carved a miniature wooden model of Notre Dame, as well as the surrounding village and even all the people who live there. That's pretty impressive. He's also quick to figure out a way to sneak Esmeralda past the guards outside the cathedral, as well as decipher that the charm she gave him is a map to the Court of Miracles.
* GentleGiant: Quasimodo isn't particularly tall or big, but it is definitely this with regards to his strength.
* TheGrotesque: He ''won a prize'' for being ''the'' ugliest person in Paris.
* HandicappedBadass: He's hunched over but tremendously strong.
* TheHero: Of the story that Clopin-as-Narrator tells the kids; he looks like a monster but his actions prove his heroic nature.
* HeroicAlbino: His parents were more dark skinned with darker hair, while Quasi was born with pale skin and red hair.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Calls himself a "monster".
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Phoebus. He's an HonoraryUncle for Phoebus' kid.
* HiddenDepths: Played with, while he's not evil, or even a {{Jerkass}} much of Paris views him as a monster. Esmerelda while trapped in the belltower is amazed by the things not many know about him. Such as him carving a model of the town accurately as well as knowing each bell's name by heart.
* HomeschooledKids: Poor Quasimodo - Frollo must royally suck as a teacher, seeing that Quasimodo is still learning ''the alphabet'' at age 20.
* HonoraryUncle: To Zephyr because he's the best friend of the kid's dad.
* HumbleHero: Quasi doesn't boast about some of the ''many'' impressive things he accomplished in the film. Not even to Esmeralda, who was his first love, and could have used his feats to win her heart.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: The only friends he has growing up are animated gargoyles. Thus, it's easy to understand why he considers Esmeralda's act of kindness to be 'Heaven's love'.
* InSeriesNickname: He's called "Quasi" by his friends.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Quasi shares a close bond with Zephyr, the son of Phoebus and Esmeralda, in the sequel.
* InTheHood: Quasi uses a hood to disguise himself when he's out in public.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Quasimodo does what he can to make Esmeralda happy, including blessing her relationship with Phoebus at the end.
* LeParkour: Jumping from the eaves to the steeples to the gargoyles to the gutters of the Notre Dame cathedral is not a problem for him.
* LetsGetDangerous: [[spoiler:The chains initially kept him trapped in the cathedral but then his gargoyles buddies point out that they aren't the real reason he stays. Then he proves that he can break the chains with little trouble.]]
* LightningBruiser: For such a stocky, barrel-chested guy, Quasi is remarkably agile and fast.
* LonersAreFreaks: What the citizens of Paris think he is but truthfully he isn't a loner by choice; Frollo deliberately keeps him hidden away in the cathedral.
* LoveHurts: When Quasimodo witnesses Esmeralda's and Phoebus' kiss and realizes that they are in love with each other.
* MeaningfulName: Quasimodo means ''"half-formed"'' directly translated from Latin, in a more modern form it also means "sub-human". Giving this name to him as a baby is just '''one ''' example of Frollo's cruelty. Interestingly, in the book, Quasimodo's name had a totally different meaning, referring to a rather obscure holiday called Quasimodo Sunday.
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Quasi is a sweet and sensitive soul, but people (except Esmeralda and Phoebus), judge him harshly because of his deformity.
* NiceGuy: He's as handsome on the inside as he is ugly on the outside.
* OfficialCouple: With Madellaine by the end of the sequel.
* ParentalAbandonment: Frollo told him that this was the case with his mother. [[spoiler:In reality, Quasi's biological parents were actually gypsies who tried sneaking into Paris illegally. Also, Quasi's parents, especially his mother, still loved him despite his appearance]].
* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's half as tall as Frollo or Phoebus and yet much stronger. He broke metal chains!
%%* PlatonicLifePartners: With Esmeralda.
* RedHeadedHero: He has red hair and is TheProtagonist of both Disney films.
* RedheadInGreen: Quasi has red hair and wears a green shirt/tunic.
* RescueRomance: Esmeralda rescued him from the abuse of the Festival of Fools, thus prompting his attraction to her.
* RivalsTeamUp: Quasi teams up with Phoebus to warn Esmeralda about Frollo.
* UsefulNotes/{{Romani}}: His true parentage, but a DownplayedTrope in this version. Only once is Quasimodo explicitly stated to be a gypsy ("Four frightened gypsies slid silently under the docks near Notre Dame..."), and nothing is ever made of this fact; it's not clear if he's even aware of it.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The quiet, shy Sensitive Guy to Phoebus's assertive, sarcastic Manly Man.
* ShipperOnDeck: After a healthy amount of CharacterDevelopment, Quasi blesses Esmerelda and Phoebus's relationship.
* ShrinkingViolet: Very shy at first, though he starts to become more open after befriending Esmeralda.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: He is the protagonist and has red hair and green eyes.
* SuperStrength: Picks up an armored man one-handed without noticing, slides a massive stone slab aside with an idle shove, scales the cathedral walls one-handed while carrying Esmeralda and Djali. That's all before the UnstoppableRage moment.
* TenorBoy: There's a contrast here. Quasi doesn't look the part but his inner innocent boyishness matches his voice.
%%* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The Tiny Guy to Madellaine's Huge Girl.
* TitleCharacter: Quasimodo is the "Hunchback" in the title.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Phoebus and Esmeralda for a love triangle.
* UglyGuyHotWife: The Ugly Guy to Madelaine's Hot Wife because he's the single ugliest guy in Paris.
* WhatTheHellHero: A sad example during the climax: Quasi is chained up, but the gargoyles are trying to encourage him to snap out of his funk. When he instead snaps at them to leave him alone, they turn back into stone, disappointed.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Doesn't seem to hate gypsies, though he mindlessly accepts Frollo's beliefs about them until meeting Esmeralda provides him with a new perspective. It isn't to the very end that [[spoiler:Frollo]] reveals whom his mother really was.
* YouKilledMyFather: It's established in the beginning that Frollo unintentionally murdered Quasimodo's mother when he was an infant. He doesn't find this out until twenty years later.

----
%%* ActionDad: In the sequel to Zephyr.
* ActionHero: Phoebus is a captain and therefore, is involved in all of the action.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the book, he's a womanizing {{Jerkass}} who gets no comeuppance. Here he's pushed from being a loyal soldier into a revolutionary, who opposes Frollo whenever he can.
* AmazonChaser: Watching Esmeralda single handedly trounce Frollo's guards makes Phoebus exclaim, "What a woman!"
* AnnoyingArrows: [[spoiler:Played with. He gets hit by one arrow which causes him to be knocked out, but then has the arrow taken out of him quite easily, underwater too.]]
* AntiHero: Phoebus is a combo of KnightInSourArmor and PragmaticHero.
* ApologeticAttacker: Phoebus tries one on Esmeralda, while she has him pinned to the floor with his own sword at his throat, and it works!
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He has the highest rank of the Guards and knows how to kick ass.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: Phoebus, as he notes, means ''"sun-god"''. Esmeralda is less than impressed: and Phoebus himself doesn't seem comfortable being saddled with it.
* {{Badass}}: Exhibit A; jumping into a burning building to rescue a family trapped inside, while wearing gold armor, and then escaping an armed company.
* BadassBeard: His beard is pretty cool looking. Probably to match his skills.
* BadassInCharge: Downplayed. He's the NumberTwo under Frollo but no doubt badass. In the sequel, he is number two to the king, but his authority appears to be at the same level as Frollo's.
* BadassOnPaper: His impressive career in the army is what made Frollo choose him.
* BashBrothers: With Quasimodo later on in the film when they work together.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Quasi's Betty to Esmeralda's Archie because he is a hight status soldier with ego to match.
%%* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Quasimodo.
* BigDamnHeroes: Phoebus rescues Quasimodo from falling.
* BirdsOfAFeather: While Esmeralda and Phoebus are both rebelling against Frollo's regime from the start, Phoebus doesn't rebel against Frollo until Frollo attempts to burn down a house with an innocent family still inside.
%%* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Blonde to Quasimodo' s Redhead and Esmeralda's Brunette.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Averted in the Disney film. At worst, he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* ABoyAndHisX: A Man And His Horse in this case; his white stallion, Achilles, is his loyal friend.
* ByTheBookCop: Zig-Zagged. He was trained to follow orders under Frollo, but the fact that he was ordered to harm an innocent family pushed him out of it. By the sequel, though well-meaning, he's more by the book, especially when it came to the whole ordeal about Sarousch and Madelline.
* CatchAFallingStar: Phoebus manages to catch Quasimodo as he falls off of Notre Dame and haul him inside. It's an especially egregious example of snatching someone out of midair since he'd gotten shot through the shoulder the day before.
* CharacterDevelopment: Phoebus is initially the pawn who loathes injustice. In the opening, he discreetly rescues Esmeralda from arrest but never quite speaks out against injustice, and Frollo refuses to let Phoebus intervene when Quasimodo undergoes public humiliation. It's when he witnesses Frollo's [[MoralEventHorizon attempted execution on an innocent family]] that Phoebus starts intervening explicitly from then on.
* TheCharmer: Phoebus is charming and cocky especially in the beginning.
* ChivalrousPervert: A much milder case. He's obviously excited by Esmerelda's dancing, but is able to look beyond just that to her kindness and her spirit.
* CompositeCharacter: Phoebus gains his good traits from Pierre Gringoire, an AuthorAvatar character who appeared in the book.
* DeadpanSnarker: His humour tends to be quite subdued such as his flirting in the church.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Turns against Frollo because he can't stand the man's bigotry.
* DistressedDude: First, when he is shot with an arrow and nearly dies and second, when he is captured at the Court Of Miracles.
* TheDragon: Initially, he's this to the villain Frollo because he is the captain of the man's armed forces.
* FirstGuyWins: Phoebus, the first love interest Esmeralda meets, ends up with Esmeralda at the end of the first film.
* FrenchJerk: A rare heroic version. At his best, he is an JerkWithAHeartOfGold with HiddenDepths.
* AFriendInNeed: Came to Esmeralda and Quasi's help, both on different matters.
* FourStarBadass: He was a French Knight in the King's Army.
* GoodParents: He becomes a good father to his son Zephyr in the sequel.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Although anti-heroic, Phoebus still has a good heart.
* HappilyMarried: With Esmeralda in the sequel, as he proudly states in the early scenes.
* HeroicBuild: Has a broad, muscular chest and becomes of the heroic characters.
* HeelFaceTurn: He works for Frollo at the start of the movie but turns against him by the climax.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Quasimodo. He even names the guy his son's HonoraryUncle.
* HiddenDepths: Appears to have a clear sense of moral right and wrong despite working for Frollo, as seen in the way he treats Esmeralda and in his kindness towards Quasimodo after he is pelted by the crowd and in acknowledging the latter's role in helping warn the gypsies of Frollo's arrival.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He is this to a fault in the Sequel when it came to Sarsousch and Madelline.
* {{Hunk}}: A broad shouldered knight with a fine beard.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Phoebus calls the Gypsies, "criminals and dangerous." He's not ''entirely'' wrong.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: On one hand he was confused rather than opposed to Frollo's vendetta against the gypsies but on the other hand he won't tolerate abuse of power like the farm burning.
* KnightErrant: He just came back from fighting in wars.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Shining gold-plated armor no less. The fire rescue wouldn't look out of place in a chivalric cycle.
* KnightInSourArmor: Keeps on doing his knightly duties even when it seemed that all was lost.
* LightIsGood: Wears shiny, golden armor that's a reference that he's a good and heroic person. His name is also an epithet of both Apollo and Helios, greek light/solar gods.
* LoveAtFirstSight: When Phoebus first laid his eyes on Esmeralda, he was immediately smitten. Esmeralda, on the other hand, was not impressed with Phoebus at first.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "Sun God" in Latin. Ironically, Phoebus has blond hair which could symbolize light and the sun.
* NobleTopEnforcer: At first for Frollo as he is more noble minded. Eventually he quits.
* OfficialCouple: With Esmeralda. They're married in the sequel.
* RivalsTeamUp: Phoebus teams up with Quasimodo to warn Esmeralda about Frollo.
* SamaritanRelationshipStarter: Esmeralda and Phoebus are initially attracted to but wary of each other, but they only fall for each other after each witnesses the other committing a noble and selfless act (e.g. Esmeralda defending Quasimodo from Frollo; Phoebus refusing to burn an innocent family in their house and rescuing them).
* SeekingSanctuary: He encourages Esmeralda to do this in an undertone while Frollo's approaching, and when she doesn't play along he bluffs and claims she invoked it.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The assertive, sarcastic Manly Man to Quasimodo's shy, quiet Sensitive Guy.
* TheStarscream: A heroic example as he was formerly the NobleTopEnforcer. He does this to Frollo, especially when after freeing himself, he takes leadership of the people he was ordered to oppress, and turns them on Frollo's soldiers.
* TemptingFate: Averted. He considers bad things that could happen ( "A guard...a boobytrap....") then mentions an ambush only when he realizes that they're about to be ambushed.
* {{Tritagonist}}: In the first film, but becomes more of a supporting character in the sequel.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Quasimodo and Esmeralda for a love triangle.

* BadassBystander: She could've minded her own business when the crowd was ganging up on [[ButtMonkey poor Quasi]]. Instead, she not only defied [[BigBad Frollo]], but managed to evade ''all'' of his guards.
* BarefootPoverty: She dances on the streets for coins so she can't afford shoes. In the sequel, after her marriage to Phoebus, she is shown wearing them.
* BigOlEyebrows: They're very thick looking.
* BigNo: [[spoiler:When she lets go of Quasimodo while trying to pull him up to the side of the cathedral so he doesn't fall. He falls, but Phoebus catches him]].
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** Played with. Esmeralda and Quasimodo bond over their mutually restricted freedom, and while Esmeralda and Phoebus are both sarcastic and rebellious to do what is right, Phoebus doesn't rebel against Frollo until Frollo attempts to burn down a house with an innocent family still inside.
** Esmeralda and Quasimodo are both outcasts in society, but the other thing they have in common is that this belief has carried over into their religious beliefs. They both pray to God but they also both don't think God has mercy for people like them. They are polar opposites when it comes to life experiences because Esmeralda has seen a lot of the world because of her constant moving from place to place and is hyper-sexualized because she's Romani while Quasimodo has been restricted to just the Notre Dame and isn't treated like a sexualized/objectified object.
%%* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Brunette (black hair) to Quasimodo' s Redhead and Phoebus' s Blonde.
* BrainyBrunette: Knows how to evade Frollo's guards? Check. Has knowledge about being protected by the Cathedral from Frollo and his men? Check. Has some expertise over nursing and uses to help Phoebus with a wound? Check.
* BreakoutCharacter: When the film came out, the fans simply '''loved''' this woman.
* CharacterDevelopment: Initially starts off as confrontational and distrustful due to the hardships she and the other gypsies have endured, but her interactions with Quasimodo and Phoebus gradually soften her and teach her how to trust.
* CleavageWindow: Most of her outfits show off her top assets, especially the festival dancer one.
* CombatPragmatist: Does not fear a groin attack.
* CurseCutShort: "You sneaky son of a b-"
* DeadpanSnarker: Expect her to be chalk full of sarcastic quips.
-->'''Phoebus''': You fight almost as well as a man.
-->'''Esmeralda''': Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you.
* DefiantCaptive: [[spoiler:Her defiance of Frollo when he is about to ''set her on fire'' is remarkable.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:When Frollo is about to [[BurnTheWitch burn her at the stake]], he informs her that she may choose him or the fire. She responds by spitting in his face and giving him a KubrickStare.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In the first film, but more of a supporting character in the sequel.
* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. While she still plays a pivotal role in the story, the movie clearly gives Quasimodo more focus than her, even dropping her subplot of finding her mother.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Unlike in the Victor Hugo novel, when she is not responsive to Quasimodo she is barely passed out due to smoke inhalation, not dead, and revives minutes later.]]
* DoesNotWearShoes: Because she can't afford them.
* DudeMagnet: With very unfortunate results: attracting the attention of an asshole like Frollo.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her IconicOutfit. Esmeralda's outfit isn't symmetrical (she has a decorated wrap on one side of her skirt and only one ankle bracelet), and both she and most of the other Gypsies such as Clopin (who themselves are hardly symmetrical in dress) only have one earring in. Esmeralda is actually sharing a pair of earrings with Djali.
* FlirtingUnderFire: During her banter in the cathedral with Phoebus. He started it, but she engaged him all the same.
* AFriendInNeed: Esmeralda is there to support Quasimodo as much as possible and she is always there for him.
* GiantPoofySleeves: Her iconic out fit includes her sleeves being poofy.
* AGirlAndHerX: A Girl And Her Goat. Djali, her pet goat, is her best friend.
* GoodParents: She becomes a good mother towards her son Zephyr in the sequel.
* GoodSamaritan: Esmeralda rescues and defends Quasimodo, who is a complete stranger to her, from being attacked at the Festival of Fools.
* GreenEyes: Of the sexy variation.
* HairDecorations: Hair ribbons in her casual outfit and more in her festival outfit.
* HappilyMarried: With Phoebus in the sequel. It's a beta couple thing for our protagonist and his love interest.
* HelloNurse: Many men who see her go ga-ga over her. This is helpful to attract attention on the street, where she's dancing for coins, but less so when an evil man lusts over her, and pins on her their sexual cravings and religious weakness. Frollo sings a whole song about her effect on him.
* HotGypsyWoman: To her grave disadvantage, as it turns out, because Frollo is a lusting bigot.
* InTheHood: She and Djali combine this with the TotemPoleTrench to disguise themselves as an old man.
* IWantSong: "God Help The Outcasts" is a inversion of this trope because she doesn't ask for anything ("I ask for nothing; I can get by") and instead depicts Esmeralda's selfless desire for safety and protection of the weak and defenseless.
* KubrickStare: [[spoiler:She gives Frollo a fairly impressive one after spitting in his face while tied to the stake.]]
* LadyInRed: Her dancing outfit during the Festival of Fools is clearly meant to turn heads. After all, this is a festival.
* LovelyAssistant: To Clopin. She appears to enchant the (in-universe!) audience after he gives the intro.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Poor Esmeralda must have had some Love Potion No. 9 before the Feast of Fools because everyone wants her. Immediately. Inverted with Esmeralda personally, who ironically falls in love with Phoebus at first sight in the book. In the film adaptation, she's both distrusting but fascinated by Phoebus and doesn't necessarily fall for him until she witnesses him saving an innocent family from a burning house after refusing Frollo's order to burn it himself.
* LoveTriangle: Esmeralda/[[FirstGuyWins Phoebus]][=/=][[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Quasimodo]]....[[AndZoidberg And Frollo]].
* MeaningfulName: "Esmeralda" is the Spanish and Portuguese word for "emerald," which reflects her eye color.
* MsFanservice: So much that all three of the other main characters (Quasimodo, Phoebus, Frollo) want her. Sick of drawing petite princesses like [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] and [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]], Disney decided what they really needed was a heroine who looked like a supermodel ''who pole dances.''
* NiceGirl: Helping Quasimodo for one. Telling him he's not a monster. Also, just being an overall kind and empathetic human being.
* ObliviousToLove: She has no idea of Quasimodo's crush on her.
* OfficialCouple: With Phoebus. They're married in the sequel.
* OffscreenTeleportation: ''(POOF)'' "Oh, boys! Over here!"
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Quasimodo. She's fully unaware of his (initial) romantic love for her. Even so, Esmeralda sees Quasi as a good friend and acts as a surrogate sister to him.
* PublicExecution: [[spoiler:Frollo staged a public burning because of "witchcraft" but it was thankfully thwarted by Quasimodo.]]
* RaceLift: In the novel, Esmeralda is a French girl who was kidnapped and raised as a Gypsy. In the Disney movie, she's Romani, with dark hair and skin.
* RapunzelHair: It reaches down to her waist.
* SadisticChoice: "Me or the fire". [[spoiler:The fire, Frollo.]]
* SamaritanRelationshipStarter: Esmeralda and Phoebus are initially attracted to but wary of each other, and they only fall for each other after each witnesses the other committing a noble and selfless act (e.g. Esmeralda defending Quasimodo from Frollo; Phoebus refusing to burn an innocent family in their house and rescuing them).
* SeekingSanctuary: Phoebus invokes first by whispering to her and later directly to Frollo.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Esmeralda didn't start to fall in love with Phoebus until after he saved a family from murder, even if it meant his own execution.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Phoebus. They don't start the romance part till after she saves his life, but they were already flirting in that church.
* SmokeOut: She disappears into smoke at will. [[InexplicablyAwesome How she performs this remains unexplained.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: She was hanged in the book.]]
* SpitefulSpit: At Frollo. See KubrickStare.
* SufferTheSlings: Esmeralda uses a makeshift sling to rescue Phoebus.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: In the sequel, The Tomboy to Madellaine's Girly Girl. Esmeralda uses her fists and weapons and Madellaine uses her ballerina skills.
* TotemPoleTrench: Esmeralda is known for doing this to hide from the soldiers. She does this by carrying Djali on her shoulders and wrapping a blanket around them so they could pass as an old man.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Phoebus and Quasimodo for a love triangle.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Esmeralda pulls a hankie from her cleavage to use it for a magic trick to escape from Frollo's guards.
* {{Xenafication}}: In most versions, Esmeralda is portrayed as a naive, submissive ingenue. In this version, though, she's an acrobatic, assertive, confident ActionGirl.
* [[YouKnowImBlackRight You Know I'm a Gypsy, Right?]]: In the sequel when Phoebus expresses he doesn't trust the circus folk, Esmeralda replies "Gypsies?", which causes him to reflexively give an affirmative reply when he couldn't figure out who to compare them to.

----
* BigFun: Hugo is the largest of the Gargoyles and the most fun loving.
* BigThinShortTrio: Hugo is the Big (fattest gut). Victor is the Thin (slimmest gut). Laverne is the Short (shorter than Hugo).
* BowtiesAreCool: Victor dons a black one while playing the piano during the musical number "A Guy Like You".
* BritishStuffiness: Victor has a deep British accent.
* {{Canon Foreigner}}s: The trio never appeared in Victor Hugo's original story.

* CowardlyLion: Victor is the most cautious of the trio, but came to his friends help in the climax.
* [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Crouching Morons Hidden Badasses]]: Proved to be this in the first film's climax when they hold the line against Frollo's {{mook}}s.
* DeadpanSnarker: Laverne has a dry sense of humor and not afraid to show it. Especially in regards to Hugo.
* DiscountLesbians: Hugo and Djali are the first same-sex animated Disney couple. It so happens that Hugo's a piece of rock and Djali a goat, so it's forgiven as to why nobody (sane people or zealous MoralGuardians alike) didn't notice it as a massive breakthrough.
* FreudianTrio: Let's look at Quasi sneaking out to the festival. Victor is the Superego (explains the risks to going). Laverne is the Ego (gives Quasi the same advice he gave the bird earlier). Hugo is the Id (tells Quasi to go and not be anxious).
* GratuitousFrench: ''"Mon dieu'' above, she's gotta love a guy like you!"
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Laverne is the Masculine Girl (the most aggressive) and Victor is the Feminine Boy (the most passive).

* OfficialCouple: Hugo with Djali by the end of the sequel.
* {{Only Friend}}s: They were Quasimodo's only friends for most of his life.
* RedOniBlueOni: Hugo is the Red Oni (loud and impulsive) and Victor and Laverne are the Blue Onis (both are more rational and actually think before speaking).

* TeamMom: Laverne acts as a mother figure to Quasimodo.
* TrueCompanions: They were more of a family to Quasimodo than Frollo ever was.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Laverne also has this relationship with the pidgeons that hang around her. Despite constantly telling them to shoo for annoying her they answer her call in the climax.

* ActionPet: Goat kick!
* CoolPet: One awesome goat to have as a pet.
* DiscountLesbians: Hugo and Djali are the first same-sex animated Disney couple. It so happens that Hugo's a piece of rock and Djali a goat, so it's forgiven as to why nobody (sane people or zealous MoralGuardians alike) didn't notice it as a massive breakthrough.

* HookedUpAfterwards: [[spoiler:Immediately begins a relationship with an unnamed, female horse at the end of the sequel]].
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Again, to Phoebus.

[[folder: (Judge) Claude Frollo]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phphmxXUOPM-frollo_3920.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TonyJay

->''"I'll find her! I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris!"''
----

* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent-Figure]]: He's verbally abusive and makes Quasimodo emotionally dependent on him. It escalates into physical assault and eventually [[spoiler:attempted murder]].
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Inverted. In this version, he's old, pale, wrinkly, deathly thin, and has a long crooked nose.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the book, Frollo is almost as much of a recluse as Quasimodo himself, and he has no power outside the grounds of the cathedral. In this film, he's effectively the dictator of Paris.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the book, Frollo was a more sympathetic AntiVillain. Here he’s evil from the start and only gets worse as the film progresses.
* AgeLift: Frollo was only in his mid-thirties in the book yet seems to be around 20 years older in the movie. It's hard to tell because the book says he's OlderThanHeLooks.
* AggressiveCategorism: Frollo hates all Gypsies and wants to eradicate them.
* BadassBaritone: He's voiced by the late, great Creator/TonyJay. This is also present in the Swedish dub where he is given the booming voice of Stefan Ljungqvist.
* BadassBoast: "Be mine, or you will BURN!!"
* BadassGrandpa: While he relies more in his troops, he is a capable fighter on his own.
* BadassInCharge: Frollo calls all of the shots.
%%* BadassLongRobe: Part of Frollo's attire.
* BadBoss: Has his previous captain of the guard (who was Phoebus' predecessor) tortured for failing him. He later tries to have Phoebus executed after he refuses to let Frollo kill innocent people.
* BigBad: Hunting gypsies is his personal EvilPlan because he thinks they're AlwaysChaoticEvil. This causes all the plot's conflict.
* BigShutUp: Frollo yelling "Silence!" towards Esmeralda for calling him out for his cruelty. [[ShutUpHannibal She counters this with "Justice!"]]
* ButIWouldReallyEnjoyIt: Frollo's sexual frustration.
* CardCarryingVillain: A rare {{aver|tedTrope}}sion for a Disney Villain. While most Disney baddies either enjoy being evil or don't care that their actions are evil, Frollo is a hypocritical, HolierThanThou KnightTemplar who believes his increasingly despicable actions are just. Try to tell him he's evil, and he will certainly not take it well. See the other tropes for more info.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Frollo, while always evil, is initially much more collected and methodical. He also shows at least some fear of God and respect for the institution of the Church, as when the Archdeacon reminds him that God knows of his sins as much as he denies it and this spurs him to adopt Quasimodo out of repentence. But by the end of the film he's so angry and insane that he has no problems burning down the homes of random citizens, attacking Notre Dame, and throwing the archdeacon down a staircase when he asks if he's gone off the deep end.
** Frollo gets the most screentime of any Disney villain, ever, being present for roughly a third of the movie's total runtime.
* TheChessmaster: Frollo is willing to manipulate a city in order to get what he wants.
* ChurchgoingVillain: He has many hypocritical qualities; he spouts typical christian ideas about celibacy, and then threatens to burn a woman if she doesn't let him have his way with her.
* ClaspYourHandsIfYouDeceive: Frollo clasps his hands a lot.
* ClassicVillain: Frollo is a Pride/Lust villain. He is a KnightTemplar who is fully convinced that he is in the right despite [[KickTheDog Kicking The Dog]] rather viciously with the Gypsies and Quasimodo, and his lust for Esmerelda drove much of the plot. He's one of Disney's creepiest villains, committing more horrible atrocities than many of Disney's worst, and is comparatively worse than the Victor Hugo novel and play that inspired him. And again, he's sure he's a good man.
%%* DangerouslyGenreSavvy
* DeathGlare: [[http://images5.fanpop.com/image/polls/956000/956514_1329669991212_full.jpg Two]] [[http://dettoldisney.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/hunchback-disneyscreencaps_com-3449.jpeg times]] on Quasimodo for rebelling his order to stay in Notre Dame.
* DecompositeCharacter: The conflicted Archdeacon Claude Frollo is split into the good Archdeacon and the evil Justice Minister Claude Frollo.
* DarkIsEvil: Wears black robes and is a thoroughly despicable individual, but he otherwise represents LightIsNotGood.
* DeadpanSnarker: "I had a little trouble with the fireplace."
* DirtyOldMan: In spite of the fact that his so called piety demands he shouldn't be, he lusts after Esmeralda.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Frollo falls, all right, but it's given a fair bit more detail than the usual DisneyVillainDeath; [[spoiler:He falls into a pit of fire with a snarling gargoyle on top of him.]]
* EgocentricallyReligious: Frollo is a [[SarcasmMode devout and righteous man]], [[HolierThanThou and everyone else is not]]. He seems incapable of separating his faith from his {{Pride}} and arrogance, and is far more concerned with his own salvation and purity than the souls or the lives of anybody else, since he thinks that everyone else in Paris [[MisanthropeSupreme is pure and utter scum]]; this, naturally, means he is no where near the good, just or humble Christian he likes to think he is, and attention is drawn to his hypocrisy throughout the movie, even in his own VillainSong where the Latin choir is telling him to be humble, forgiving and repentant at the exact same time he is [[NeverMyFault blaming God himself for his own lust]] and threatening to burn Paris to the ground if [[IfICantHaveYou Esmeralda won't surrender herself to him]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first thing we see Frollo do is murder an innocent woman and attempt to drown her defenseless child.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Frollo gets enraged at Quasimodo when he tells Esmeralda that she has been kind to him.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Archdeacon, as knight templar authority figure instead of truly pious one.
* EvilEyebrows: The sinister eyebrows add to the general feel of his character.
* EvilIsPetty: Frollo wants to eradicate all gypsies because he has an IrrationalHatred towards them as a group.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: For being one of Disney's darkest, and most serious villains, Frollo shows a sick and twisted sense of humor. Such as when he is supervising someone being whipped, just as his new Captain of the Guard Phoebus arrives.
-->'''Frollo''': You know, my last Captain of the Guard was um...a bit of a disappointment to me.\\
''[whipcrack follow by a loud scream of pain; Phoebus cringes while Frollo smirks]''\\
'''Frollo''': Well, no matter. I'm sure you'll...''whip'' my men into shape. [''grins'']\\
'''Phoebus''': Well...th-that's a...tre-tremendous honor sir...
* EvilMentor: Can be seen as this for Quasimodo although Quasimodo still retains his kindness and good heart, despite being raised by such an evil and cruel man.
* EvilOldFolks: In the novel adaptation, he is in his mid thirties, but in the film, he is much older.
* EvilPlan: To eradicate all gypsies.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Comes with being voiced by the late Creator/TonyJay.
* EvilWearsBlack: He is evil and wears black. His foil, the archdeacon, is good and wears white.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He has moments of this, such as when he captures Quasimodo, Esmeralda and Phoebus at the gypsies hideout. He affects the same tone as office chatter when he's basically talking about how he's won and is going to kill them all.
* FinalSolution: He wants the genocide of the gypsies because he believes they've been practicing witchcraft and that they will corrupt the other citizens of Paris with their ways.
* TheFundamentalist: Attempted genocide because of stubborn ethnic hatred.
* HangingJudge: Judge Claude Frollo is the ''Minister of Justice'' in this adaptation. He is described by Clopin as the judge, jury and executioner rolled into one, as shown when he sets up a public execution for the gypsies.
* HeelRealization: Frollo, for a fraction of a second toward the end of the opening sequence. [[IgnoredEpiphany He gets over it]].
* HeroesPreferSwords: {{Inverted|Trope}} in the climax, in which he chases Quasimodo and Esmeralda with one.
* HolierThanThou: He says this of himself, though the reality is different.
-->''I'm so much purer than the common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd...''
* {{Hypocrite}}: Claims that God is to blame when it's really him being a racist, perverted monster.
* IfICantHaveYou:
-->''Hellfire, dark fire. Now Gypsy, it's your turn!\\
Choose me or your pyre,\\
Be mine, or you will burn!\\
God have mercy on her...\\
God have mercy on me...\\
But she will be mine, or she... will... burn!''
* IgnoredEpiphany: Twice. The first time is during the "Bells of Notre Dame" sequence, after killing Quasimodo's mother on the steps of Notre Dame. Realizing his guilt, he agrees to raise Quasimodo as repentance. If anything, though, he becomes even more cruel and depraved from that point onward. The second time is during the "Hellfire" sequence, when he realizes that his lust for Esmeralda is driving him to sinful acts. But rather than using this moment of self-awareness to tone down his cruelty, he instead [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumps off the slippery slope]] by resolving to burn down Paris.
* {{Irony}}:
** He's the only Disney Villain that openly views himself as a good and righteous person, while he's actually one of the most evil Disney Villains.
** His demise is also very ironic. See KarmicDeath.
* IrrationalHatred: Towards gypsies, so much that he wants to eradicate all of them.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Frollo only spares Quasimodo because he believes he may be useful to him later and because the Archdeacon demanded he do so. He also has no problem committing mass murder and destroying Paris to get rid of a single woman who isn't even to blame for his own problems.
* {{Jerkass}}: Towards Quasimodo as his abusive caretaker.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He was right about the people of Paris being hostile and mocking towards Quasimodo, though he did nothing but rub in the fact to make it feel worse for him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: On the surface, Frollo appears to be simply an arrogant, priggish, horrified-at-the-thought-of-anyone-having-fun theocratic dictator. But then, his belief that the world is full of wickedness is the reason he gives for keeping Quasimodo shut away in the cathedral belltower, telling himself — and Quasimodo — that he's just keeping him safe from the outside world. However, it quickly becomes clear that Frollo is a genocidal lunatic, scheming to kill all the Gypsies in Paris for their "thieving" and "witchcraft" — and the only reason he's taking care of Quasimodo is because he fears going to Hell for his attempt to drown Quasi when he was a baby, solely because of his appearance. Any torment he ever feels — particularly about his lust for a Gypsy girl he's become obsessed with killing — evaporates pretty quickly.
* KarmicDeath: "AND HE SHALL SMITE THE WICKED AND PLUNGE THEM INTO THE FIERY PIT!" [[spoiler: Immediately after saying this, it happens to him.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: As soon as he appears, the humour level drops. He stands out as being one of the most notable examples for the entire Disney Animated Canon, as most villains are at least LaughablyEvil in their misdeeds.
* KnightTemplar: Believes himself to be a righteous man expunging evil from the world, but he's really a racist bigot that wants to commit genocide. Esmeralda herself lampshades it.
* LastNameBasis: He is almost always referred to as just "Frollo" in this version. This is a complete inversion from the novel, where he is normally referred to as "Dom Claude" or "Claude", and ''never'' as just "Frollo".
* LeanAndMean: He's thinner than almost everyone else, apart from Clopin.
* LightIsNotGood: A theme of his character is that despite being a clergyman, with focus on holiness and purity, Frollo is a villain.
* LostInImitation: He shares few traits with his novel counterpart other than raising Quasimodo and desiring Esmeralda. He does, however, have numerous traits in common with Cedric Hardwicke's depiction of the character in the 1939 film, right down to his outfit.
* {{Lust}} [[LoveMakesYouEvil Makes You Evil]]: However, he was pretty nasty in his own right before he even met Esmeralda, considering he tried to drown a baby simply because of his appearance.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates Quasimodo to get what he wants; [[spoiler:the location of the Court of Miracles.]]
* NeverMyFault: One of Frollo's defining personality traits. Anything bad that he does, he blames it on someone else. This includes killing Quasimodo's mother (she ran from his soldiers to protect her son, he gave her a fatal head concussion trying to snatch him from her) and his lust for Esmeralda (blaming Esmeralda herself for the way he feels, even ''blaming God for allowing the Devil to tempt him''). When he figures out Quasimodo helped her escape, he tells Quasimodo that all of Paris is burning because of him, despite the fact that Frollo is the one actually burning it.
* NiceHat: He has one for his office though he loses it towards the climax, as it was becoming a nuisance to animate.
* ObsessionSong: "Hellfire" is about his sexual desire for Esmeralda.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Unlike most Disney villains, he believes himself to be the most righteous person in this story.
* ParentalSubstitute: Becomes one to Quasimodo after he accidently murdered his mother. As revealed in the opening song, he only takes on the task in case he could be useful to him (and that the statue of Mary was watching him as he was about to drown baby Quasimodo for his ugliness, invoking his fear of being judged.)
* PervertedSniffing: Frollo sniffs Esmeralda's hair at one point after she declares sanctuary.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain:
** Frollo ran down and trampled a woman with his horse on the steps of a church based solely on her ''race'', then only didn't drown her baby in a well when the priest was all, "hey bro, don't drown that baby in a well."
** Frollo compares Gypsies to ants earlier in the movie, and alludes to his genocidal intentions by squishing an ant nest while explaining his goals to Captain Phoebus.
* {{Pride}}: He acknowledges that he is proud of his virtue, though he believes his pride is just. But when it all comes down to it, a great deal of the problems in the movie stem from his pride making him unable to accept the fact that he isn't nearly as virtuous as he thinks he is and eventually even makes him turn against God. [[HistoryRepeats This tacks even more irony points on his fall into a fiery pit.]]
* PsychologicalProjection: He seems to identify his own faults in others. Everywhere.
** Consider, for instance, his summation of Esmeralda:
-->'''Frollo:''' Such a clever witch. So typical of your kind to twist the truth to cloud the mind with unholy thoughts.
** Later on:
-->'''Frollo:''' YOU IDIOT! That wasn't kindness, it was cunning! She's a gypsy! Gypsies are not capable of real love! Think, boy! Think of your mother.
** Yet again:
-->'''Frollo:''' The gypsy Esmeralda has refused to recant. This evil witch has placed the soul of every citizen of Paris in mortal jeopardy.
** When Phoebus refuses to burn down the miller's house.
-->'''Frollo:''' Insolent coward.
** Finally, his last words:
-->'''Frollo:''' And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The red stripes on the shoulders of his black robes add just the perfect touch of ominousness.
* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: He mentions that he's especially proud of "his virtue" and begins going over the edge when he realizes he's hot for a [[HotGypsyWoman member of the ethnic group]] he's trying to exterminate.
* SinisterMinister: Consciously averted as Frollo is the [[HangingJudge Minister of ''Justice'']], and his role as the Archdeacon was made into a [[DecompositeCharacter separate character]].
* TheSociopath: He absolutely cares for no one other than himself, and while he did feel guilty for killing Quasimodo's mother, it was more because he was afraid of being punished rather than feeling genuine remorse for killing her.
* StalkerWithACrush: To Esmerelda, and he's ''extremely'' obsessed with her.
* StraightEdgeEvil: Initially he is this for abstaining from fun things like the Festival and looking down on sexual attraction. Then he finds himself sexually attracted To Esmerelda.
* StrawHypocrite: [[HolierThanThou For a man who claims to be of god]], Frollo is demeaning to his underlings, isn't really part of the church, insulting to the citizens of Paris, boasts about his faith and righteousness, repeatedly denies that feeling lust for Esmeralda is his fault, denies that it's his fault that [[spoiler:Quasimodo's mother died (he ''kicked her in the head hard'')]] and says that he'll find Esmeralda "If I have to burn down all of Paris!" and fully intends to violate the vows of chastity that he's implied to have taken in order to have sex with Esmeralda. He also shows complete disregard for Church authority when [[spoiler:he tosses the Archdeacon down a flight of stairs for trying to stop him from reaching Quasimodo]].
* SuddenlyShouting:
--> '''Frollo:''' Isn't this [figure] new? It's awfully good. It looks very much like the gypsy girl. I know... You helped her es-'''''CAPE'''''!
* TautologicalTemplar: As far as he's concerned, he's God's favourite person on earth and so anything he does, no matter how horrible it is, is justified by default.
* TortureTechnician: Implied in one scene when one of his minions is torturing his previous captain.
* VillainousBreakdown: Frollo is an honest KnightTemplar... until [[LoveMakesYouCrazy love makes him crazy]] and turns him into an ultra-violent StalkerWithACrush.
* VillainousCrush: For Esmeralda, hence the "choose me or the fire" thing.
* VillainSong: "[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome HELLFIRE]]".
-->''[[IfICantHaveYou Be mine or you! Will!]]'' '''''[[IfICantHaveYou BURN!]]'''''
* WouldHitAGirl: Tramble with a horse or burn at stake; either one.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** Planned to drown a baby by dropping it into a well, simply because his appearance frightened him.
** Tried to burn an innocent family alive, children included.

[[folder: The Arch Deacon]]
->'''Voiced by:''' David Ogden Stiers
[[quoteright:324:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aweth_1047.jpg]]

* AllLovingHero: He is outraged at the murder of Quasimodo's mother (a minority that the populace considers to be vermin) and demands that Frollo spare the (outrageously deformed) baby Quasimodo.
* BadassBoast: Remarkably mild but no less firm.
-->''Don't worry, child. Minister Frollo learned years ago to respect the sanctity of the Church.''
* BadassPacifist: Stands up to Frollo and his soldiers with nothing but his faith in God, his love of humanity and his adamantine balls.
* BadassPreacher: Standing up to a furious man with armed soliders at his back takes guts.
* BigGood: As the Arch Deacon he is the highest (mortal) authority on the side of the angels.
* BigDamnHeroes: For baby Quasimodo in the prologue.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: "Take the child and raise it as your own." One can only assume he hoped fatherhood would mellow Frollo out.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: "Arch Deacon" or some other title pertaining to his vocation.
* {{Foil}}: Easily this to Frollo. Both are very religious men, but Frollo is a more corrupt example while Arch Deacon demonstrates true piety.
* FormerlyFat: In the brief appearance he had in the sequel, he is shown to have become skinny.
* GoodShepherd: The Archdeacon is well named; he's the most benevolent character in the story. A lesser man would give a minister with armed soldiers what he wanted but he denies Frollo with a simple rebuke and assures Esmeralda of her safety. He'll put the fear of God into anyone who violates the sanctity of the Cathedral.
* MoralityChain: He keeps Frollo restrained to a certain degree of civility; persuading him to spare baby Quasimodo and enforcing sanctuary for Esmeralda. [[spoiler:Frollo breaks the chain in the climax.]]
* PlotHole: After the opening scene, the Archdeacon doesn't even acknowledge Quasimodo's existence. This is odd, considering they live in the same building.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The man in charge of Notre Dame will make sure everyone acts civilly within the cathedral.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a short one in the opening song to Frollo about how he's a hybocrite and will never escape God's righteous judgement.
* SeekingSanctuary: It's thanks to him that Esmeralda can do this in Notre Dame.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: He originally gets under Frollo's skin [[DefiedTrope by convincing him that this is NEVER the case]].
-->''You can lie to yourself and your minions, you can claim that you haven't a qualm, but you never can run from nor hide what you've done from the eyes! The very eyes of Notre Dame!''

[[folder: Clopin Trouillefou]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hunchback_of_the_notre_dame_disneyscreencaps_com_2_145.jpg]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Paul Kandel

* AllKnowingSingingNarrator: The movie begins with him singing this story to a group of children.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Is a wisecracking jester on the surface, but he's not TheLeader of Paris' thieves for nothing.
* CloudCuckoolander: One moment he's all over the place and absolutely ecstatic at the Feast of Fools, and the other [[spoiler:overjoyed while about to hang Phoebus and Quasimodo under the suspicion they are spies. Luckily Esmeralda stops him before this could take way.]]
* CoolMask: Wears a fancy red mask that covers his eyes and nose during the opening sequence and the Feast of Fools, but takes it off for the rest of the film.
* FriendToAllChildren: We see him in the beginning telling the movie's story through puppets to some children. At the end we also see him pick up a little girl while bringing out a puppet of Frollo to play with her.
* TheGadfly: During the Feast of Fools, Clopin is always hounding Quasimodo who's trying to stay out of sight.
* HangingJudge: If he thinks you're working for Frollo, you will be hanged.
* HeroAntagonist: He becomes one when he catches Quasi and Phoebus in the Court of Miracles. [[spoiler:He then tries to hang them, but Esmeralda comes in on the last minute and saves them.]]
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He takes some extreme measures to protect his people from Frollo.
* HiddenDepths: When he's in front of a racially biased crowd, he acts like a silly fool who cracks jokes, pleases the crowds and earns money by pretending to be their perception of what a 'gypsy' is. In his real life he's TheLeader of the Romani in Paris. It's also interesting that when he first meets Quasimodo he instantly tames the crowd by pretending that it's [[AllPartOfTheShow all a part of his show]]. He's cunning and manipulative with people.
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner
--> ''(singing)'' ''Justice is swift in The Court of Miracles,''
--> ''I am the lawyers and judge all in one!''
--> ''We like to get the trial over with quickly''
--> ''because it's the '''sentence''' that's really the fun!''
* LargeHam: "Court of Miracles" has him dancing and costume changing and arguing with his puppet while singing.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Wears a skirt at one point.

[[folder: Madellaine]]

-> Voiced by: Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt

%%* {{Adorkable}}
* BeastAndBeauty: The Beauty to Quasi's Beast.
* CanonForeigner: Only exists in the sequel of the Disney movie version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".
* CircusBrat: Sarousch took her into his circus.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Accidentally bumps into people and falls off a tight rope, and still has a smile on her face.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In the sequel, she shares the spotlight with Quasi.
* FriendToAllChildren: Implied. Seeing Quasimodo playing with Zephyr allows Madellaine to see there is more to the bell ringer.
* GenkiGirl: Mostly seen in the falling in love montage. Before and after that, Madellaine has a lot of spunk and enthusiasm.
* GreenEyes: Has bright, green eyes to symbolize she's different than her adoptive father.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: See her NiceGirl section and know the fact that she rescued Zephyr at the climax, even though she could've just escaped.
* HeelFaceTurn: She never wanted to steal for Sarousch in the first place. It wasn't until she fell for Quasi, that she confidently quit working for Sarousch.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Played with. Madellaine started off an antagonist (not by her own choice) and was ordered by her adoptive father to trick Quasimodo. She ended falling for him and pulling a HeelFaceTurn, thereby playing this trope straight.
* HoneyTrap: Sarousch's EvilPlan to steal the La Fidel is to make Madellaine sweet talk Quasimodo. She ends up falling for him for real.
* InSeriesNickname: Doesn't like being called "Trinket" by Sarousch.
* MeaningfulName: In Aramaic her name was originally "magdala" which means "tower". A possible foreshadowing that she lives in the bell tower after she and Quasimodo get together.
* NiceGirl: She never wanted to go along with her adoptive father's plans and was ''very'' regretful when it was revealed.
* NotSoDifferent: Has many similarities with Quasi; clumsy, social awkward, domineered by an older man, etc.
* OfficialCouple: With Quasimodo by the end of the sequel.
* ParentalAbandonment: Madellaine never revealed if her parents were dead or abandoned her as a child.
* UsefulNotes/{{Roma|ni}}: {{Implied}}. Sarousch mentioned he didn't turn her into Frollo when he was still alive, possibly meaning that she was a Gypsy.
* SecondLove: To Quasimodo. The first was Esmeralda.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Begins to develop feelings for Quasimodo because of his close relationship with Zephyr and kind heart.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Instead of one "L", she spells her name with two.
* StreetUrchin: Before Sarousch adopted her she lived on the street.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Esmeralda's Tomboy.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The Huge Girl to Quasimodo's Tiny Guy. She's taller than her husband and he only reaches around her waist, but still muscular.
%%* UglyGuyHotWife: The Hot Wife to Quasimodo's Ugly Guy.

-> Voiced by: Haley Joel Osment

* BigGuyLittleGuy: The Little Guy to Quasimodo's Big Guy; they're great friends.
* ABoyAndHisX: A Boy And His Goat. With Djali in the sequel.
* BrattyHalfPint: {{Averted}}. He never acts selfish or insensitive to his parents or Quasi.
* CanonForeigner: Neither Phobeus nor Esmeralda had children in the original novel.
* CartoonJuggling: Zephyr really likes to juggle.
%%* CheerfulChild: See {{Keet}}.
* CircusBrat: {{Invoked}}. Zephyr wants to join the circus and tries, but it doesn't go as planned.
* TheCutie: We see his energy and him fall asleep.
* GirlsHaveCooties: {{Justified}}. He's at the age were he finds romance gross, or in his words, "YUCK!".
* GreenEyes: He has his mother's green eyes.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: His father's blond hair and how he wanted to inform his said father of Sarousch's plans.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He has a strong bond with Quasimodo.
* {{Keet}}: His mother even tells him he needs to slow down.
* KidAppealCharacter: His dream is entering the circus, he dislikes romance, and has a lot of energy.
* MeaningfulName: His name refers to energetic behavior, friendship with Quasimodo, and means "Wind God", like his father's name means "Sun God".
* MilitaryBrat: He is the son of Phoebus, a soldier in the French Army.
* MixedAncestry: See UsefulNotes/{{Roma|ni}}.
* NiceGuy: Very sweet and friendly, with the usual dislike of romance for someone his age.
* PintSizedKid: He's around or lower than his parent's waist.
* UsefulNotes/{{Roma|ni}}: He's half Roma on his mother's side.
* SnoopingLittleKid: Which is what sets the climax of the sequel is Zephyr sneaking into Sarousch's boat and listening to his plans.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Had Zephyr not been snooping on Sarousch, the villain would never have used him for bait. This means that Madellaine wouldn't have redeemed herself by saving him and her adoptive father wouldn't have been arrested.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Except for his eyes, Zephyr looks exactly like Phoebus.
* {{Tritagonist}}: In the sequel according to his Disney wiki page and the fact his parents [[DemotedToExtra don't have a bigger role like in the previous film]].

[[folder: Sarousch]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disney_hunchback_sarousch_3346.jpg]]
-> Voiced by: Michael [=McKean=]

* AbusiveParents: Sarousch has no problem emotionally abusing and manipulating Madellaine if it helps to get what he wants.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Sarousch didn't confirm if he was a Gypsy or not, though.
* BaldOfEvil: He's the BigBad and he has to wear a wig.
* BigBad: Of the sequel; the EvilPlan to steal the bell is his idea.
* BrokenPedestal: For Zephyr after the former sees him trying to steal La Fidel.
* CanonForeigner: Again, he's not in the original.
* DirtyCoward: Blames his own adoptive daughter for stealing the La Fidel and later uses a ''child'' to escape imprisonment.
* FatBastard: He's fat when he isn't performing in front of an audience.
* {{Greed}}: He wanted to steal the all Fidel to sell it for a substantial amount of money.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even to his adoptive daughter, he's cruel.
* {{Narcissist}}: Always looks at himself in the mirror. All the while calling himself "handsome" and such.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: At first, he just appears to be a petty thief leading a gang of circus-disguised pickpockets. The fact that he invoked the idea of something bad happening to Quasimodo or [[WouldHurtAChild trying to threaten Zephyr's life]] proves that he may be no Frollo, but he is without a doubt, cold and ruthless.
* SissyVillain: Likes to look at himself in the mirror. ''A lot''.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: {{Subverted}}. Once he's off stage, it's revealed that Sarousch is not only bald, but fat.
* TheSociopath: A textbook narcissist, expert liar and a master backstabber.
* WouldHurtAChild: Willing to kidnap a child and use the child as leverage to escape from arrest. This is what he did to Zephyr.
