(Repost) What is Twilight? 'Rojo Congo', POO, 'Red Sun', ...
I made a repost because I was almost certain my original post was buried, plus I did some more digging to try to find out what the heck Twilight was. In this repost, each image has a number (so it becomes a lot easier to discuss). In the text, I will add a number in parenthesis to determine which picture to refer to.
My closest guess was 'Rojo Congo', but I don't think it's fully accurate (See 5 for 'Rojo Congo' description).
You see, Twilight seemingly wants to climb or crawl because there are aerial roots extending from the stem into the ground, maintaining a mostly horizontal (2) shape rather than upright ('Rojo Congo' trait, 5). Plus, her leaves are arrowhead-shaped (1 and 3) like the 'Rojo Congo' (5). To add to difficulty, her new leaf isn't unfurled completely yet, so we cannot be sure on color (4).
What do you guys think? I'm already quite stumped.

Aight how about i clarify the separate varieties listed?
Rojo tends to grow more black, and tend to have a more arrow shape leaf, often held slightly folded and high.
Prince has a lighter colour. Think neon pastel colours, or washed with yellow.
Sun is similar to Prince, but with darker colours and sharper leaves.
Mccolley's has a rounder profile than Sun, but redder and more heart shaped than Prince.
Red Emerald, it's interesting that it's very close to, if not identical to its ancestor, Philodendron erubescens. It's similar to Rojo, but has more green and a predominantly red stem. It climbs better than the rest here as well.
Here are some more varieties that it might be:
Imperial Red. Similar to Rojo, but a habit reminiscent of Emerald.
Sunset. Brighter colours, but with so many Sunset varieties it's difficult to describe it as a whole.
Autumn. Generally larger, darker leaves but still has that orange; not as dark as Imperial or Rojo.
Orange Congo. Think Imperial, but with the colours of a Prince.
My conclusion? It's either Red Emerald, or another variety of Philodendron erubescens.

@Catplantaddict — i have to agree. i went down a deep rabbit hole last night making a list of all the "self-heading" philodendron and that is likely an emerald ♡
@JenobiBLU OOOHHHH !! @Catplantaddict 2 votes for Emerald!! :)

I think with the leaf shape imperial red because of the leaf shape.
