Yeh thats pretty much what I was trying to say.
Another way of looking at it is that both Askari and Jianna merged to form a new/completely different personality, for arguments sake ill baptise the new personality as "Jikari"
The new personality has the memories of the two original personalities but how the character would have played out if thereswas a 3rd book i.e. does the new personality overcome the memories of the originals and affirm her "own" identity etc..... we'll never find out
