Sorry to bring back an old thread, but your daughter needs to look at Earlham college in Richmond Indiana.
Liberal student body in uberly-conservative region? check.
Small LAC? check.
Region specified? No, but only 1 hour from KY.
Merit Aid? check.
Not preppy? check.
Asian influences? check.
Well-respected? check, may even be in CTCL (although I’m not sure)
Outdoorsy? check, many recreational opportunities such as bike trails, kayaking, lakes, rugged, KY style hills all within a 20 minute drive, many of those within a 5-minute walk.

Other Benefits:

Only 1 hour from Indy and 1/2 hour from Dayton, Ohio.
Located in an extremely safe, moderately sized community (50,000) with a sizable movie theater, mall, and other amenties
Strong feeling of a campus community
Again, asian is their thing. I don’t know why. It’s kind of like heaven for an anime lover, like living in the comics.

So, good luck, and also I should mention that the style of school your daughter is looking for is really just your typical midwestern LAC. Earlham just happens to be tailor made for her, IMO.
