She's never really had a good authority figure, thinking about it - her father walked out on her when she was about 9, when she was 11, her sister ran away from home because their mother threw her out (technically), Giles brought magic and vampires and things to them, Angelus tried to kill her, Spike tried to attack her sister even if he did go good afterwards. Teacher-wise, she sees no reason to respect them when they are blatantly so ignorant about the world around them. Closest she got to respecting anyone really was Tara and (oh, yes, the childhood trauma) she was the one who found Tara's body after everyone else forgot, "oh wait, the kid'll be coming home. We should let her know someone tried to kill her sister and that there's a body on the bedroom floor".
Ah. there arises a problem ;) Taking off the uniform - not difficult. Having him remove all the many protection charms, easy. Bodily removing flesh-coloured ring of crosses that are tattooed around her throat - not so much. My thinking is that she almost got bit and since vamps always go for the throat, she would defend herself practically invisibly there, so if any other vamp did get close enough to bite, the shock of having his gob burned by her skin would give her opening enough to kill him. My Dawn has turned out far too cunning for her own good.
Oh and Spike's headdesking already, because if he even raises his concernsthat VK may be after Dawn, herbie's going to molest him and distract him so dad can do as he likes ;)
