The three sisters are all quite different - Mary, the eldest, is like Elizabeth Bennet but more aloof and reserved, the middle sister Edith is like Mary Bennet but more bitter and (tbh) bitchy and Sybill is the Jane Bennet of the family, sweet and gentle, but the beloved baby rather than the first-born ... and more assertive than Jane. Whatever the Crawley girl's flaws, they all have their fair share of backbone.
In any case, dear Sybill is pretty much perfection - her latest projects include helping the housemaid Gwen with her dreams of leaving service to become a secretary, trying to convince her parents to send her to a real school instead of having a governess and shyly flirting with the Irish chauffeur Branson over political pamphlets and rallies - it's been pretty strongly implied that if she isn't a suffragette already, she'll be one by the end of the series.
Plus, Matthew and Mary held hands last week. It was very cute. *flails*
