though it would be difficult to find someone who was strong enough a personality to resist her tendency to rule others but also laid back enough that they wouldn't fight all the time.

This is basically just Knightley! And maybe Miss Taylor/Mrs. Weston but that's a mother-daughter relationship in practice.

the lovely thing is that you totally believe that Knightley would be along for the ride.

Which is why I feel so comfy with this ending! I don't know that Austen would have thought of her that way, but then again the ace terminology is only a century or two old (older than the last few decades, but at the same time not likely to be something Austen may have heard of).
