The poetic device I found in my novel is a metaphor. A metaphor is a comparison that does not use "like" or "as".
"When Lady Catelyn had asked about Arya, the septa had sniffed. 'Arya has the hands of a blacksmith.'" (57)
This poetic device is important to the character because it helps the reader understand that Arya is not necessarily the best suited for the "womanly arts". It also creates pathos by making the reader feel bad for Arya that she will probably disappoint her parents.
