Heroes Amy is SA1 Amy part 2.

Her story in SA1 has her deciding to become stronger and more independent so she can become someone that Sonic would respect, and she spends all of Heroes actively pursuing that goal and BEING stronger and independent all while directly confronting and chasing down and even competing with Sonic to show him how much she's grown. And the underlying, more specific goal in both stories is helping reunite loved ones.

The focal point of who Amy is is her "sweet passion". If Amy isn't being extremely, intensely enthusiastic about what she loves, and going after it with blind faith and extreme aggressive determination, then she isn't "Amy Rose". Passion for Amy is the Wind for Sonic. Heroes i where that passion is at its best, where we truly see Amy Rose at her absolute peak.

But what happened? Everyone took one line out of context, and blamed her love for Sonic in and of itself as a toxic problem that has to be "fixed". They compare Heroes to X and Battle at their absolute worst, and believe that Amy isn't "good" unless she's moved on from Sonic, calmed down, become a completely different person. THAT is what ruins Amy. When you deny her passion, and force her to stop being herself.
