Elizabeth resembles a giant white duck or a giant penguin and is Katsuras companion. Elizabeth was a present from Tatsuma Sakamoto who presumably picked it up on his travels around space. Although many people consider Elizabeth to be insane and extraneous Katsura has named the ambiguous avian Elizabeth and dotes on it. Once in episode 18 Shinpachi purchased a doll named as Space Alien Stefan to which looks perfectly similar to Elizabeth. Elizabeth is something of a painter and is surprisingly dexterous. Also Elizabeth resorts to using signboards to communicate as well as an occasional means of attack. Elizabeth is also a skilled fighter able to use signboards to fight off swordsmen. Although the true identity of Elizabeth is uncertain it appears to be a man wearing a duck costume. In its first appearance hairy legs are seen underneath her sheet and the body of a humanoid with glowing eyes is revealed as her mouth is opened just as it fell during another battle between Gintoki and Katsura. Although Katsura seems shocked at what she really is she has subsequently remained by his side. Episode 50 implies that the person inside Elizabeth is most likely the director Gintoki was interrupted before he can finish being cut off at Kanto Direc. Most of the characters seem to ignore this or at least do not give it much thought given at the episode was completely filler. Moreover the next time the inside of Elizabeth is shown it reverts to the glowing eyes. When Shinpachi boards Takasugis ship in order to rescue Kagura a bazooka is seen coming out of Elizabeths mouth when she blasts the ship to distract everyone from Shinpachi. Because of this Shinpachi refers to her as Elizabethsenpai. Elizabeths birthday is September 7. Her height is 180 centimeters and she weighs 123 kilograms. Source: Wikipedia
