I’m going to assume the text in bold is “she was the black sheep in her family.” This is a metaphor.
A simile compares two different things using like or as
Onomatopoeia is a sound like “sizzle” for example.
Personification is giving a nonhuman thing human characteristics
A metaphor is a comparison between two dissimilar things. This is similar to a simile. However unlike a simile a metaphor does NOT use “like” or as”
Conclusion: it’s a metaphor.
Apologies if this is incorrect.
