Favorite Female Bat-Family Member?

Myself, I really love all four of the Batgirls; I think giving Barbara her legs back was a real disservice to the character, especially considering the hipster angle her book has taken since Gail Simone left.

Stephanie and Cassandra are both incredible; Stephanie for being down-to-earth and cheerful (maybe my favorite Batgirl), and Cassandra for being utterly badass. She was also a hugely unique character, mute and spoke the language of physicality. That was some quality original writing.

But just as Jason Todd is my favorite of the Robins (though not specifically as Robin), Helena Bertinelli is my favorite Batgirl. Lethal force vigilante, barely accepted by the Bat family at large.

WHY HAS NO ONE WRITTEN A "RED HOOD & HUNTRESS" BOOK!? Would be so much better than the tripe Lobdell's been writing since New 52.

I included Harper Row and Kathy Kane, but honestly, neither of those characters interest me too much. Kathy's on the outskirts of the family, and I've not gotten around to reading Batwoman, so I can't comment on that character. And Harper's just kinda "meh" to me.

EDIT: And why didn't my poll show up? I had the box checked for one...
