The way I see it, there is Luna, Nightmare Moon, Nyx, and Nightmare Nyx, with it being two seperate characters. The seperations in characters appear due the the Nature vs Nurture effect. Luna (Nature) and Nightmare Moon are two sides of the same coin up until Friendship is Magic part 2, when the Elements of Harmony strip the corruption from Luna. As we see in Luna Eclipsed, Luna can still take on this form, but she is no longer corrupted by her jealousy (Nurture). During Past Sins, Nightmare Moon is reincarnated as Nyx due to the failed spell. At that point in time, it was still technically Nightmare Moon (Nature). After Twilight took her in and began raising her, Nyx truly came to be (Nurture). Later, when Nyx was kidnapped and restored to full power, and regained her memories, she became Nightmare Nyx, a combination of the two characters. In the end, when Nyx is stripped of her powers, she is still arguably Nightmare Nyx, due to her retaining her memories, but it is quite obvious that Nurture won this fight (though she does struggle with anger management at times, which is her Nature bearing it's ugly teeth).
