It's (a)Yoshiro.
This means Maidens all look the same and are likely named Yoshiro, after the term 'yorishiro'.
Yoshiro's Japanese biography says she comes from a lineage of Maidens with the same power.
Is she praying to the Goddess within the stone or is she praying to her ancestor, the former Maiden?
Or both, and this directly contributed to the mixing of the Maiden and Goddess?
This spirit stone body is very different to our Yoshiro, who is covered in cherry blossom motifs(from pieces breaking off). In general, she looks like normal stone more than 'spirit stone'.
Forgotten God has both this bland stone and spirit stone, so perhaps this spirit stone is devoid of Goddess power? And the shiny appearance of spirit stone is what marks it as containing the power of the goddess.
If Nanamagari pulled the Goddess power out of the spirit stone, then it would just become plain stone?
For comparison, our Yoshiro:
