Someone who is down-to-earth (no one who plays games or is two-faced, or likes to stir the pot/instigate drama, etc) , respectful (not snide, condescending), supportive, considerate (especially with respecting space).
is not a big deal actually. only if MILS stop comparing their DILS to their own daughters and consider the DILS atleast as good as their sons' wives and the mother of their future grand children, things could be much easier. A MIL does have right to be as strict to her DIL as she is to her own daughter, but when it comes to love and compassion, DILS are not human enough to deserve that.
A MIL simply has to think, "what if this was my daughter" or "what if that was me", cos she's been through that stage.
So before she did anything negative, she would imagine her own daughter or herself in that situation with a MIL. Changes things a whole lot, imo.
A DIL has to do the same... "what if this was my own mother"...
