For starters, the Soul=Psyche. Hell, Psyche was literally a synonim for Soul before. The psyche is the totality of the mind, conscious and unconscious.

If the mind "fractured", the psyche would reflect it. Even though they both "came from the same person", each personality would be their own, and thus have their own Aura and/or Semblance. Now the question would be if the Aura % would be shared or not (ex: That if Bob 1 has 30% Aura remaining, and switches to Bob 2, Bob 2 also has 30% Aura remaining).

In a more meta sense, whenever there's something about the Soul in a fictional work, and there's someone with a split personality, that's usually how it goes more or less.

Now do note, I do not approve of things like both personas being fully aware of each other, capable of directly speaking to each other, or switching voluntarily at the drop of a hat. Of course, whenever someone has split personality in fiction, that's usually how it goes :/
