A lot of people don't get her character and so she's very misrepresented.

Amy is a character that is ironic and in some cases mildly satirical. Amy is a obsessive, crazy, die hard Sonic fan girl who will do anything to be with the one she looks up to. She is meant to be a joke, comic relief character. If one doesn't believe me purely based on that, her gameplay in SA1 further cements this, as Amy's story parodies Resident Evil with her having to solve puzzles and being chased by ZERO (The Tyrant)

The closest example I could use as a character comparison is Street Fighter's Sakura Kasugano

Amy as a character I find honestly pretty weak. She is meant to have a one dimensional personality, but this is often not used to it's potential before the whole schtick starts becoming stale.
