I think this is more of a thing regarding personal taste rather than what people could impose on you.
Just "be Avery" if you believe that's fitting, however, you may consider a second opinion from your friend since she seem to know you from a more external perspective, which could lead you to "act more like D3r" as she proposed early.
There's no definitive answer for this dilemma and the best option is to decide which fits you best between those two.
