At first, Beatrice was an imaginary friend Yasu used to excuse herself for her clumsiness and being forgetful, but eventually she turned that illusion into a projection of herself as a witch who ruled over Rokkenjima, was free from any binding, could do magic, was beautiful, elegant and had a strong personality. After her meeting with Battler, she changed some things, like the physical form (fit to be Battler's ideal woman) and also added to Beatrice the feelings she had for Battler.
So, it is really hard to say Yasu and Beatrice are the exact same person. Beatrice is what Yasu would like to be. This is why Beatrice is weak against mirrors, because it reminds Yasu who she really is.

But importantly, Yasu becomes Beatrice. She doesn't "Become" Shannon or anyone else, even people we imagine she has to play the role of.
