I really, really love the insight that Brombal has about Steph: "Then there's Batgirl. She's not the strongest or the fasters of the Bats, nah -- she's the one everybody underestimates, making that her greatest asset. And when you can't get Oracle, you best get the hacker that Oracle hand-trained... Each Titan from their own world but needing a sense of belonging, a place to grow. Each with the same hubris that the young have in spades...the belief that they can save the world."

Detective Comics #647 published August 1992 by Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle.

She was very important to Stephanie in the pre-Flashpoint continuity, especially in her Batgirl run. However, Crystal's last appearance in the comics was eleven years ago (Batman Eternal #42 in early 2015) and she's rarely been acknowledged since - even fans tend to forget she exists.
