As for a previous owner being a girl, I've always had the suspicion that Tina was Lara's doll, somehow, other than being modeled on Lara "the goddess at 16" (which is another paradox to roll over).
[On first reading I read this as "the goddess at sixteen inches", which
is apt, if not what it actually says in the story :-)

Anyway:
"The boy who owned her's been dead now for about eight years."
"Attis cut himself ..."
"I wanted him not to die!"
"I used to have a goddess ... And then something happened. I don't know what - something bad."
"Malicapata. Pretty sad, sir, isn't it?"
