I'm having some hard time, I need help

First I though I was fictionkin of Kenshin, then I see that he was more an example of what I want to become. Like he was a mentor and not a reflection of myself.

Later I though I was Rerir, because I feel reflected on his protective side with the people he cares about. But I didn’t connected with his evil side even if I empathise a lot with him and understand him.

Now I found a character that it's literally me. People fear them because prejudices and don't want to know him. He tries to make friends and fails until he found the right people. Reading "dark elf trilogy" was like watching my reflection on a mirror. We have a lot of paralels. This character is Drizzt.

I'm autistic, this may be an hyperfixation and idk if that blinds me. I feel identificated with this 3 characters but only Drizzt Do'Urden is the one that I say: We are the same.

I just need... some help. Idk if I'm wrong. My head is a mess rn.

It's okay if I'm a new Drizzt fan on my late 20?

Hi, I just discovered Drizzt a month ago aprox. I created a character for a DnD party with friends, I feel so proud cause it's my third original character and honestly, the only one that I create with my own feelings and heart. I send it to a friend and he asked me: "Do you know who is Drizzt Do'Urden?" I answered with a no and he told me to read "The dark elf trilogy". I loved it and now im about to start the last book of "Icewind Dale".

I really love the books, I really love Drizzt but I feel bad cause my character seems like a copy, she even has an ice scimitar too from the first sesion when I didn’t read any book and have no clue! The DM told me to be a drow with two scimitars cause the other warrior of the party was the tank and we needed a DPS, so I accepted. Then I start reading the books, when I finished the first trilogy I asked the DM if he has a clue about who is Drizzt Do'Urden and he doesn’t know him. Im just in shock cause even our group is so similar to the Icewind Dale one.

I know my drow isn't Drizzt, it's my own character with her own story but the paralels are so similar and I feel like I'm playing a Drizzt copy.

This and discover him when I'm 27 years old make me feel mixed feelings. I wish I discovered this books on my adolescence cause it would have helped me a lot with my struggles in daily life cause >!trauma and autism!<.

Anyway, whats ur opinion on that? I just nedeed to vent I think, I hope it's okay. If it's not just tell me and I'll delete the post, thank you for reading.

Just that, for Rerir it's matter of time that we will know his bday if he becomes playable, but not for Drizzt. I investigated and we can only know his year of birth (1397) so Im sad :(

Well, I was looking for Drizzt community posts and a lot of people not only prefer villains (I don't have any problem with that), they just don't have any respect for Drizzt, they insult me and Im like: why is this fandom like the opposite it should be?
