Not getting a chance to see many distinct character traits, isn't the same as having no personality. And the reason we don't see much of her personality is more to do with her being out so early. Also, just because Amy has played a huge role in shaping her character that doesn't mean she has no personality either. Everyone is shaped by things in their lives, and particularly profound things (such as lifelong abuse) can leave a more lasting mark, but that doesn't make them any less of a person.

There's also a difference between individuality and personality. Yes, Samey revolved around Amy for most of her time on the show, but that doesn't mean she possesses no personality. Does that mean Katie and Sadie have no personality since they revolve around each other?

Well, a good place of reference is her audition video, where she tries to get away from Amy and meet some new people on her own without her sister being there to put her down. With Jasmine, sure it was more active on Jas's side, but that just shows Samey is closed-up and introverted which is a personality trait on it's own. Her experience with Amy made her cautious about approaching others. We also learn she lacks self-esteem, and constantly sells herself short.

Considering Amy attempted to murder Samey during the first episode, what Samey did wasn't unreasonable. Especially since she had already been exposed to the fruit herself and known it wasn't lethal
