Christopher is a middle aged man who is tubby and has a receding hair line. Christopher also doesn't believe in keeping promises to his 16year old step-daughter. The two of them were extremely close, until the day where his step-daughter Amber found out that he had gone back to his Ex Debbra. The same ex who called Amber and her mother horrendously appalling names when Amber was at primary school in year 5, and whose daughter destroyed ambers reputation and friend group at school which left her alone with only the teachers to talk to. Christopher made a promise to Amber to not ever, ever go back to Debbra because of the strain it put on their relationship. also because Amber wanted nothing more than to just crawl up in a ball and die, because she felt like nothing she did for her 'dad' was good enough for him and that he didn't care due to him not visiting or calling her.

The day Amber found out about the relationship she went to ask Christopher why, why he would do that, why he would break such an important promise that he made. All Christopher answered was that it was none of her business and that she had to get out of his apartment of he would call the police on her.

Amber remind him of the promise she made him 5 years ago when he made the promise. Ambers promise was that if he ever dated Debbra again there would be consequences because she couldn't stand getting hurt again. Amber reminded Christopher of the consequences, they were that the father-daughter relationship they had would cease to exist, meaning that she would never talk to him again, she'd never see him again and that she would never ever forgive him.

Christopher said that he knew and at that point Amber realised that he didn't care anymore so just before she walked out she said
"I don't need you anymore, I'm stronger than what I was the last time you did this. I've grown a backbone and I'm not backing down this time. I hope you enjoy not having me as your daughter."
Amber then walked out and that's when she learned that she was no longer daddy's little girl but didn't need to be to survive.
