Spoilers for Shallan in Starsight???

In the preview chapters of ROW its revealed that Shallan has developed a level of comfort and even comradery amongst Veil, Radiant, and herself. We also find out that Venli has been able to maintain her own personality due to her Radiant Spren Bond despite being an elevated Parshendi.  It got me wondering, what if a radiant allowed a fused or unmade to inhabit his or her body? And even more interesting- what would happen if Shallan somehow let a Fused, Yelig-nar, or another unmade inhabit her body? Would her multiple personalities be too much for a potential host to handle? Could one personality be taken over by the invading host while others remained intact? (Poor Adolin)

It then occurred to me that Brandon has already used this idea of an antagonist trying to occupy one's mind being prevented due to the protagonist being of multiple minds. In his YA novel Starsight, Morriumur is able to survive against a delver due to his being of two minds. Is Brandon setting Shallan up to have similar success against an antagonist? Could Morriumer's success actually be a spoiler for Shallan's future success against Odium's forces?
