okay I have a lot of thoughts especially since I recently saw the movie for the first time and understand the inherent tragedy of love being an emotion that Amalthea is burdened by.
I think Robin would be enchanted by the unicorn and befriend her, probably always wondering where she goes to and hoping that Amalthea's presence would help keep the forest safe for a few days from yokai. Once Amalthea is turned human, though, it becomes a whole other story.
While Amalthea slowly forgets her life as a unicorn, Robin is both happy to have a "human" companion but also incredibly mournful. Because her relationship isn't the same, and she feels guilt for acting upon instincts to love a creature who does not belong to her, and probably would never be if she wants Amalthea to be her true self.
something something the tragedy of love turning you into a whole new person and someone loving the idea of you/your first self and unsure about the new self.
