《The Rabbit Knight》Emergency Poll! Temporary hiatus

Spoiler: Obsolete Poll
Some readers are against the idea of Ellowyn having two bodies at once. And I understand that they don't like the added complexity of managing two separate identities.
But you see, I've dug myself into quite a hole now. For the past few months, I've planned out nearly the entire story outline. And what happens from now will depend on Ellowyn having two identities to solve problems and progress with the plot.
Here are the pros and cons I can think of:
Pros
One body(identity) is completely separate from the other, therefore:
One identity can gather information freely without the constraint of another (spying, infiltrating, Ellowyn's identity with Alice doesn't allow her to move outside unless with an army of bodyguards) Can look at an issue from different perspectives Make it much easier to do things behind the scenes, such as one identity making the actions that the other identity can't in a large plan.
Showing the world in a more close and personal way. I want to use her second identity to show the daily lives of the vast futuristic city, to show how changes made from top corporations( by Alice and other influential people Ellowyn know) would affect the lives of the everyday people.
Slight spoiler: I want the second identity to be a semi-vigilante to be more engaged with the city life.
Cons
Increase in complexity
Two identities means two separate PoV that needs to be managed May confuse some readers

Here is the poll link. Note that the third choice doesn't really affect my decision, only vote for it if you're okay with both.
Please think carefully before voting, this decision will affect the story very much!

8 102The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

Take your time, I’m not waiting for the people who chooses the latter anyways.
