Night time is the right time, especially when you're a holy wonder-worker pledged to a deity of the moon.
My first ever character is coming up, and I'll be playing a Cleric in service to the goddess Sehanine [the prankster and shadowy CR version, not the elf-mom FR version]. I know that Twilight Cleric is the sub I want to play above all, but the amount of races and extra abilities in the game is almost over-whelming, especially since Tasha's made picking races by their ASI's less consequential.
I'm personally interested in the firbolg, kenku, tiefling and tortle. Firbolgs [who I'm sorta leaning towards] have a connection to the Feywild like the MW, maybe focusing on autumn, and the Speech of Beast and Leaf could let me talk to nocturnal animals, and the hidden step is just useful. Kenku give me a whole lot of tricky skills, and they're loss of flight could make the build-up to Steps of Night a fun character building moment. Tieflings [Glasya in particular] gives me a nice resistance and some flavorful illusion spells. And Tortles almost let me get the benefits of some of the bonus proficiencies while not making me invest in Str, and the thought of a man-turtle oozing Twilight Sanctuary and concentration-based spells from inside his shell just seems both funny and useful; plus, the moon and the tides tie into this.
Those are just my thoughts, but I'd love to hear your suggestions so I can come to a decision.
