A drunken gambler and adoptive parent of April Ryan, who we discover has physically abused her for years. We never learn his full name. April rarely mentions her father, but carries the emotional scars left by his abuse. In her diary, April doesn't detail what happened to her, but describes her father as being very controlling and a bad role model for her adopted brothers, Daniel and Owen. When she calls her adoptive mother, April says that if she hadn't left home she'd probably be dead now. In addition, her father often berated her for drawing when she was little, which he regarded as "wasting time".
