I don't see why she can't be both Carmilla and Elizabeth.

A lot of the legendary characters here are composites of both the fiction about them, the reality and even the baseless public perceptions of them. The Exodus in the Old Testament doesn't mention any Pharaoh by name, it's just a popular interpretation with no basis that it was Ramasses II who Moses was treating with. Yet Ozy in Fate clearly remembers that yes, he was that pharaoh.

In the case of Liz, irl the evidense that she was torturing and killing women is pretty flimsy (Carmilla's page clearly mentions it) yet Liz clearly remembers doing it. The whole "being a vampire" thing Carmilla has clearly comes from Sheridan's book, the "bathing in blood to preserve my youth" thing comes from the Grimm brothers' story based on the real-life accusations against Liz (bathing in blood wasn't one of them). Both of those things are represented in the Carmilla we get, so she's clearly not just Liz as an adult.
