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.
