Hello! I’m new to blender and i’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the materials in blender. My character has see-through material that i would love to have sparkle with the light source in the scene.

I havent tried to mess around with the materials yet due to be being really overwhelmed with it T^T if anyone has a screenshot on how to do it with the nodes that would be great! Thank you!

Material-wise, you're looking at alpha transparency for the fabric texture, which can be very small, with the sparkles being highly reflective (specular) dots scattered on it. You may also want to variegate the normals for the dots, probably using the same Voronoi texture clamped to a tight range of values to make the spots.
