Who is the Milfanito by the boss door, and what does she do?
Throughout the Shrine of Amana, there are several Milfanito you can come into contact with, and the last one appears to have become hollowed. When you talk to her however, she vanishes.
Does anyone have any information on who she is and why she vanishes?
EDIT: I read somewhere that several of the Milfanito guarding the Demon of Song had died off. Is she possibly one of the last ones attempting to appease it?

Milfanitos were created to calm the outrageous undead, to stop feelings of rage, lust whatever and turn undead into something like calm angels, like the Demon of Song, but not only..."when we sing the little ones dance" 1) the little ones are the fireflies flying around the creatures on the water in Shrine of Amana, you'll realize some of them jump at you when you open the door and Milfanitos stop singing...cause the fireflies vanished for that instant...you can find this on DS" Wiki "When they sing, the fireflies make the Lizardmen passive, as such they will not attack the player unless they get too close."
Milfanitos were put there by Vendrick to stop Nashandra...has you know (or has you should know) Nashandra wants to reach the Throne of Want and plunge the world into darkness, you can understand her nature by dialogues with other NPC's - she's vile, she gives you tasks to seek the Dragon (for the memories) and the Throne and once you have all necessary items and defeat the Throne Watcher and Defender she comes for you, to get the Throne she desires so much... but too late you're already strong enough to defeat her... the ghostly NPC (Chancellor Wellager) on the stairs of the Throne Room right at the entrance of the Castle says something about a "Queen that came from a faraway land..."
About he injured and caged Milfanitos, chances are they were caught by Nashandra, the injured Milfanito was probably tortured by her, Nashandra can't pass to Shrine of Amanna cause the Milfanitos singing would trap her into a state of relaxation, Nashandra is vile and she can't cross the Shrine...
Don't think Nito has anything to do with Milfanitos...

Who is singing in Shrine of Amana?
The Milfanito are incredibly secluded maidens who reside within the Shrine of Amana and sing to comfort those that carry death and dark within themselves. They seem to have very little individuality and more so refer to themselves as a single entity.Where do I go after killing the demon of song?

Answer 2
Judging by the character model that a hacker fished out of the game, the Milfanito outside of the Demon of Song boss room is not a hollow, but is the ghost of a Milfanito who was eaten by the Demon of Song.
The limbs of the full character model are ghastly and distorted, and there are grave injuries in the shape of bite marks around her neck, as though it ate her head first. She's a ghost trapped in the room and when you contact her, she is somehow able to move on.
Answer 3
I personally think that the Milfanito are undead who have been around since the time of Nito. I also think that the Milfanito outside of the boss door is hollowed out. The Milfanito in Drangleic castle drops the Ring of the Dead when she disappears, which makes you look human, even when fully hollowed. So, it could well be that all Milfanito wear a ring of the dead, but the one outside the boss door lost hers, or it was broken when she was attacked. They could be using the rings to make people and undead feel more comfortable around them. I mean, what would you prefer, a beautiful woman or a rotten corpse-looking thing?
