D&D 5E What are some examples in media of Twilight Cleric-esque characters?

[Minigiant]

Yeah it’s almost just the actual archetypal classic cleric, since the class was first conceived as exactly a van helping type.

Seems like it is rather open-ended. I always liked the Pelor vs undead angle and could see this cleric more like a vampire hunter Van Helsing type.

Yup. Twilight feels like the old school, monster hunting, heavy, 1e cleric who's player likes reversing Light and Continual Light and brains people as they walk out the darkness.

This is different in mentality that what I expect to see in a 3rd edition cleric which fits War domain's image more or a 4th edition cleric which is heavy on Life or Light domain.

Twilight domain is one of the new Cleric sub-classes showing up in Tasha's. Also showed up previously in an Unearthed Arcana article. I think that is where @aco175 got the overview from (or someone copied it to the net).

And beaten to the punch on some of my expose.

Somewhat obscure and maybe not helpful, but Midna, the eponymous princess from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess would be an example. Her people, the Twili, live in a Shadowfell-like parallel world, but they're not evil or malevolent, and while Midna herself has a lot of anger to work through during the course of the game, she's only working to help and save them.

The Twilight Domain governs the transition and blending of light into darkness. It is a time of rest and comfort, but also the threshold between safety and the unknown. Deities of healing or respite (such as... Pelor)

I'm gonna call full stop on this part. Pelor is the sun god of Greyhawk; having him be a deity of twilight make no sense whatsoever. Celestian is good, but his brother Farlagain is a bit of a stretch. I'd strongly suggest Xan Yae, goddess of Twilight, Shadows, Stealth, and the Mind as the premier Greyhawk twilight deity. She's LN IIRC.

That's a good place to start. TP is one of my top 5 Zelda games!

I'd put forth Eris Morn of Destiny 2. She seems like she would be a cleric of Twilight.

In fiction? Galadriel.

Moon Knight?

And there could be a bit of a Feywild vibe here, both because that is described as a realm of perpetual twilight and because of the association between fey and states of transition/borders --- crossroads, edges of the forest, etc.
