She might be scared when she realizes initially. But... I can't help thinking that if she watches him grow up slowly, it won't be the same kind of fear as for a Suddenly Adult dragon? Like - she knows who he is. She will've been there for every birthday along the way. Listened as his voice changes. Even if she feels a shiver sometimes looking at a Wall of Purple Scales, I don't know if she can go from seeing Spike to seeing him as Not-Spike-Actually-Scary-Dragon. But I guess part of that depends on the nature of the fear. If it's like a full-on phobia... I don't know how they'll deal.
