The Emerald
Apparently the version of "Hunchback" that I bought calls La Esmeralda just plain Esmeralda. It's fine, as that's what I had always heard before reading the book, but at the same time it's odd, because that's not how I read it when I read it the other times. Also, it's wrong, because the people refer to her as The Emerald; Emerald is not her proper name. And so I keep putting the La in there anyway, even though at the same time, it sounds funny, because one wants to read a proper name. So complicated.
And side note, I like these versions of her. They do a better job at capturing who she is than those other representations.
Also, I so wish I could art.

she still looks a little too old, she's looks nineteen instead of sixteen, but these do a better job of capturing her innocence. and that first one is stunning.
I own it but still haven't read it (or seen any movies of it).
you should read it. :) i know you didn't make it through 'les mis', but this one is 750 pages shorter, so, you know, that helps. ;)
