She certainly became important in the section that has yet been filmed for the anime. Granted, in the time line of the manga, she has not been around for a very long time.

One thing that could be "key" is she is the only character we know of who is from the fairly distant past. She is the only character who was made into a Normal Titan, lived in that existence for decades, then became a Shifter when she ate Marcel. She seems to have some memory of it all even if she does not like to think about it.
