Perhaps some para-legals ought to look into that.
This is already an issue with Multiple Personality Disorder types.

Polygamy laws count bodies, not entities- besides, she is not an MPD
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

you're right,she's NOT a MPD... she's ACTUALLY an MDP, a case of "Multiple Demon Possession"... in as much that each of her demons are themselves as individual as they can be, but are sharing the body of Tina as a collective whole...
There is actually a fairly serious ongoing discussion among law-profession people about what defines a person or a body, because somebody realised that if we ever do meet extraterrestrials or other non-human intelligences, they're likely to be a lot different than we are. So they're trying to work out more universal ideas of what constitute basic rights, what defines an adult, and even what is a person. I figure that the people in government will be especially motivated by the tax opportunities that can be opened up. . .
Maybe in a few years we'll have a definite legal status we can apply to the various characters in Wapsi Square.

That has also been one of the biggest (perhaps THE biggest) plot threads in Freefall.

If you could convince the Minneapolis Police Dept. that aura reading is real, she'd make a great interrogator...
Maybe just invent some certificates of completion in a micro-expression reading course that enables her to 'read' a subject.
