* {{All Loving Hero}}ine: She's no saint but she shows great compassion to Quasimodo when everyone else was throwing produce at him.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Played with.

* 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 [[AllAPartOfTheShow all a part of his show]]. He's cunning and manipulative with people.

** This is really telling about his character because when he's in front of a racially bias crowd, he acts like a silly fool who cracks jokes, pleases the crowds and earns money by wearing his costume, "the fool", but in his own life he's a smart thief-leader who'll do what it takes to survive. It's also interesting that when he first meets Quasimodo he instantly tames the crowd by pretending that it's all a part of his show.

* LaughingMad: He completely loses it at the end.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Only in his mid-thirties, but looks much older and is nearly bald.

* DudeMagnet: Lots of guys in he 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.

* KnightInShiningArmor: Phoebus more or less fits this trope, especially in Esmeralda's eyes because he saved her from a hideous cripple. He's still a jerk.

* AdaptationalHeroism: He's much less rude than angry than his book counterpart, as well as more intelligent.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the book, he's a womanising {{Jerkass}} who gets no comeuppance. Here he's pushed from being a loyal soldier into a revolutionary, who opposes Frollo whenever he can.

* ChivalrousPervert: He's obviously very excited by Esmerelda's dancing, but is able to look beyond just that to her kindness and her spirit.

* AntiHero: Type II; the [[KnightInSourArmor Disney Anti-Hero]]; she's rough around the edges.

* MadonnaWhoreComplex: While Quasimodo sees Esmeralda as an angel sent by God Himself because she was so kind to him (and he wasn't familiar with kindness), Frollo sees her as a devil seductress and whore sent by Satan. Neither view of her is healthy or realistic, and it is Phoebus (who sees the middle ground, recognizing both Esmeralda's merits and quirks) who strikes the right note with her in the end.
