Demi voiced the role of Esmerelda, a gypsy who owned a goat named Djali. Quasimodo met her when he was accidentally pushed into her tent during the Festival of Fools.

Answer: Quasimodo

Quasimodo sang "Heaven's light" after he helped Esmeralda escape. Esmeralda kissed him, and gave him her woven band of the city.

After the song, he views Esmeralda as his friend, and he wants to save Esmeralda from Frollo.
