Biography
As a young boy, Christopher Robin ventured into the Hundred Acre Woods and encountered the Crossbreed animal group consisting of Winnie, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl and Rabbit. He quickly befriended all of them and stayed with them over the years, bringing them food and bonding with all of them.
Eventually, when Christopher Robin became an adult, he decided to leave his friends in order to go to college to become a doctor. He left the Hundred Acre Woods not anticipating the consequences. The Crossbreed group entered the winter without Christopher Robin and forgot how to survive due to their reliance on Robin. Eeyore was cannibalized and the surviving four made a pact to never speak again and return to their animalistic roots.
5 years later, Christopher Robin returned with his fiancée Mary to show her that his crossbreed friends were real, although they found their old place run-down and dilapidated. Before they could leave, Winnie and Piglet showed up, and he and Mary hid. Sometime later, they decided to make a break for it, although Piglet caught the both of them and strangled Mary to death while Robin watched in horror.
Both Winnie and Piglet then took Christopher by force and proceeded to endlessly torture him for abandoning them. Christopher tried to reason with Winnie by reminding them of their mutual bonding memories, but Winnie became enraged, and proceeded to whip him with Eeyore's tail, and proceeded to drench Christopher in the blood of his fiancée Mary.
Many hours later, Christopher Robin was discovered by Maria and Jessica, after having been attacked by Winnie and Piglet themselves. They freed Christopher Robin, who told them to free other captives. He escaped from Winnie's treehouse, and eventually came back to help Maria after Jessica was killed in a car chase. He rammed a car into Winnie, and tried to help Maria.
Winnie, having a tolerance for damage, awoke and freed himself, before he grabs Maria and has her at knifepoint. Christopher one final time, pleaded Winnie to show his humanity, and promised to stay with Winnie forever and never leave him again. Winnie in a rare instance spoke to him, reminding him that he left, and Christopher watched as he slit Maria's throat.
With his attempt at saving Maria failed, Christopher fled out of the Hundred Acre Woods, presumably escaping Winnie the Pooh temporarily.

Personality
As a child, Christopher Robin was naive and kind, befriending the crossbreed animals in the Hundred Acre Woods almost instantaneously. He deeply cared about his friends and despite not knowing the consequences of leaving them for college, he did so reluctantly. Upon returning to the Hundred Acre Woods to reunite with his friends, he showed a determination to prove to his fiancée Mary that his crossbreed friends were real.
Even upon his wife being killed by his former friends and being tortured endlessly, he still took every opportunity to try and reason with Winnie. He still cared about his former friends despite the pain they caused him. He is also shown as selfless, telling Maria and Jessica after being freed to take their time to help other captives, and seized the opportunity to help them both later out in the woods, and afterwards trying to save Maria's life.
Only after realizing that Winnie was beyond help and after he slit Maria's throat did Christopher Robin proceed to flee to save his own life.
