- Esmeralda to Phoebus He is one of those individuals who define people for who they are rather than how they look. For example, when he first saw Esmeralda, he thought she was attractive, but what made her attractive to Phoebus was her couragous efforts against Claude Frollo. This prompted him to find out her name in the cathedral. Also, he saw Claude Frollo's true colors, and realized he was a man who cared nothing but himself and not of the life of others. Another time, he actually said Quasimodo was a good friend for helping Esmeralda and wasn't bothered by his appearance. He is also shown to be quite proud and self-esteemed.

Phoebus is very protective of his friends and his family. After learning that Zephyr went after the criminals himself, Phoebus was determined to get them back. It is known for a fact Phoebus dislikes it when his family and Quasi are mad at him. In the sequel, he made his family furious: Quasimodo because of his affections for Madellaine, Esmeralda because she believes he carries a prejudice for her people and Zephyr for not letting him admire the circus.
