* ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'': Chikane is associated with the Moon, Himeko with the Sun. The symbolism is further explored when Himeko, who believes herself to be an utterly ordinary girl, [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe wonders what the start student and school idol Chikane sees in her]]. Chikane then proceeds that, just like the Moon only shines with the reflected light of the Sun, so is Chikane inspired and motivated to "shine" in all things by her [[GirlsLove relationship]] with Himeko.

* In ''FanFic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'', since their mentors are the Solar and Lunar Princesses themselves, Nova Shine and Twilight Sparkle have this dynamic. It even extends to their personalities; [[RedOniBlueOni Nova is colder and tries to stick to logic rather than let emotion in, where Twilight is much warmer and more readily embraces her emotions]].

* Invoked in ''Literature/TheObernewtynChronicles'', where Elspeth's prophesized guardians are Gahltha the Daywatcher and Maruman the Moonwatcher. They are complementary in both appearance and ability: night-colored Gahltha is physically imposing and guards Elspeth during the day, while "daylight-eyed" Maruman is old and frail but spiritually very powerful and protects Elspeth during her nightly dream-wanderings.

* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': In the [[https://topatoco.com/collections/gunnerkrigg/products/gk-treatise-prints Treatise pictures]], Annie and Kat are associated with the sun and moon, respectively. The former is obviously a reference to Annie's PlayingWithFire powers, the latter might be a more subtle reference to Kat being a GadgeteerGenius, due to the moon's association with the mind.

* In ''Manga/KitsuneNoYomeiri'', Kyouka's relatives Hinata the Golden Fox and her brother Yoichi the Silver Fox are literally as different as night and day. Hinata is a hyperactive loli {{Kitsune}} who gains power from the sun and can manipulate emotions. Yoichi meanwhile is a spacy guy with no energy who becomes a ladies man at night when he draws power from the moon and can paralyze people by pinning their shadow.

the dark and light sides of the Force are not characters. a better fit for Light Darkness Juxtaposition, where it's already listed


* ''Franchise/{{Star Wars}}'' The Dark and Light sides of the Force are appropriately associated with the night and day. Both have contrasting themes and powers, but neither are truly good nor evil. Though the Dark Side is aggressive, it still yields results. While the Light Side is pacifistic, it can be impractical when dealing with problems properly. Overall, both lean off one another rather the Jedi or Sith choose to accept it or not?
