A few possibilities: - Tag Nicene with an utterly distinctive physical feature. When Shadow observes that physical feature, readers will know that it is Nicene. - Give Nicene some tag phrase, and have Cherry use the phrase. - Write an earlier scene in Nicene's POV, where she introduces herself to someone as Cherry. - In the scenes from Shadow's POV, introduce a character who knows Cherry as Nicene. Or maybe who vaguely remembers meeting her before, and can't remember her name, but knows it is not Cherry. - Make it clear that Cherry knows that her name is not really Cherry. That may be enough of a hint to carry the reader across the transition.
