Will this change after she's spayed and declawed?

It's doubtful that having her spayed is going to make her like other people.
We have four cats, three of them love my entire family but the other one is a one person cat, she loves my Husband and only "puts up" with the rest of us.
On a side note, please do not have her declawed.
That is nothing short of animal cruelty...in fact it is illegal in almost every country in the world other than the US.
They have the first joint of the toes amputated, they are in severe pain...sometimes for the rest of their lives.
They sometimes stop using the litter box because of this, cats walk on their toes and since a declawed cat no longer has toes they do not walk properly.
This can cause arthritis later in life, also declawed cats are more likely to become bitters, because they have no other way to defend themselves.
If you have a choice between being bitten by a cat or clawed by one, trust me...you'd rather be clawed!
Please, type "Declawing" into a search engine and read just how inhumane this practice is.

It seems like cats tend to get meaner when declawed, but I have a cat who is kind of the same way. After about a year, he got better than when he was a kitten, so now he doesn't really scratch people for no apparent reason. I think the only things that might help are time and perhaps handling your cat more often so he/she gets used to being held, pet, etc.

Our calico was a one family cat. She loved the family and little else outside of it. No it probably won't change, calico's are by nature seem to be mean kitties to strangers.
They do mellow with age and familiarity. (Dusty would loudly challenge any stranger visiting in her youth grew to just disdain visitors in her old age) A person who is constantly around and loving towards your kitty, probably will eventually win the affection of your calico, though it may take some time and patience.

Very typical for a female cat to be that way, especially calicos and tortoiseshell. Not likely that surgery will make her friendly, it will just keep her from going into heat and learning to mark territory with urine.

Probably not. Some cats are like that. I have a mole who only like me. He hates my 21 y. o. daughter and tries to run from her. He is 9. He is neutral about my husband. He is kind of a nasty cat, showing his affection for me by biting
At best he drools all over me. That's as good as it gets. He was brought to the shelter by a man who hated cats and had found him, as a tiny kitten, up in his dryer vent in winter.
You could try feline behavior sites to see if there are techniques to get her to accept others, if that is important for you.

Have her spayed but please do not have her declawed. That's just WRONG and will earn you very very bad karma. She'll mellow down after the spaying and as she matures.
