==History==
Billie is a [[reaper]] who was collecting [[soul|souls]] in Superior, Nebraska, after [[the Darkness]] was released. After the death of [[Death]], Billie made it her mission to ensure that the next time [[Sam]] and [[Dean Winchester]] die, they remain dead, threatening to take their souls to [[the Empty]] to ensure it. After getting killed by [[Castiel]], she is reincarnated as the new [[Death]] and she gains more understanding of the importance of the Winchesters' roles and their survival. However, its later revealed that Billie's true plan is to become the new God once [[God]] and [[the Darkness]] have been killed. Thanks to the sacrifice of Castiel, a mortally wounded Billie is absorbed into [[the Empty]] by the [[Cosmic Entity]]. ==Characteristics=====Personality===Due to the Winchesters killing the original [[Death]], Billie held a grudge against them, and upon first meeting Sam, told him in no uncertain terms that she intended to send both Winchesters to [[the Empty]] when they died to ensure that they could never return.<ref name="eleven02">[[11.02 Form and Void]]</ref> While Billie couldn't kill the Winchesters herself due to the rules, she eagerly awaited her chance when they died or needed her help to be able to reap them. Despite her stern and uncompromising demeanor, Billie is not unsympathetic to the suffering of others. When she attempted to reap [[Mary Winchester]] at [[Asa Fox]]'s funeral, Billie brought up how much Mary was suffering due to being resurrected after thirty-three years dead and offered her peace. When Mary refused, Billie offered that if any of the Winchesters wanted a final peace, they could call her to reap them.<ref name="twelve06">[[12.06 Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox]]</ref> Later, while she refused to resurrect [[Crowley]] for [[Rowena]], Billie expressed sympathy and understanding for the [[witch]]'s suffering and attempted to help Rowena find peace in her loss.<ref name="thirteen19">[[13.19 Funeralia]]</ref> After becoming Death, Billie gained a greater understanding of the universe and everyone's place in it. While openly admitting she was still not a fan of the Winchesters, Billie was reluctantly forced to acknowledge that they had a greater role to play than she would like. As a result, Billie resurrected Dean herself when he died, but was intrigued to note how much Dean had changed, particularly when he offered Billie a selfless deal in exchange for information, one that she took without hesitation. Billie also took the time to offer Dean insight into her role as Death and what she had learned since they last met.<ref name="thirteen05">[[13.05 Advanced Thanatology]]</ref> A major aspect of Billie's personality as both a reaper and Death is her uncompromising stance on the rules of the universe. The reaper [[Jessica (Reaper)|Jessica]] even pointed out at one point that Billie is all about the rules and was clearly unwilling to cross Billie by breaking them.<ref name="thirteen19" /> Billie's biggest rules are "what lives, dies,"<ref name="eleven02" /> and "no direct interference." Even when Rowena started changing people's fates, Billie refused to directly interfere or let her reapers get involved, only sending Jessica to act as a resource for Sam and Dean. As a result, Jessica refused to do anything at all to help beyond give information, even when Dean was in danger.  Despite her stance on the rules, it's indicated that over time Billie has become somewhat less uncompromising, at least in very serious situations. [[God]] at one point comments that Billie is always "sticking her scythe in where it doesn't belong."<ref name="fourteen20">[[14.20 Moriah]]</ref> Due to the threat from the [[Apocalypse World]] [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]], Billie directly interfered by rescuing the Winchesters, [[Castiel]], and [[Jack Kline]] from the grasp of [[Michael's Monsters]], something she called "a calculated risk." With all but one version of Dean's fate showing Michael taking him over and using Dean to destroy the world, Billie passed Dean the information he would need to avert that, but left it up to Dean whether or not to use what she gave him.<ref name="fourteen10"> [[14.10 Nihilism]]</ref> In her biggest breach of her own rules to date, upon Jack's death, Billie hid him in the Empty and not only brought Jack back personally, but she provided Jack with a plan that would let him become strong enough to kill God, and information on each of the [[Grigori]] he targeted.<ref name="fifteen11">[[15.11 The Gamblers]]</ref> The Cosmic Entity eventually reveals that Billie's true goal all along has been to eliminate God and the Darkness so that she can take over as the new God in the power vacuum that will be created. According to the Entity, this is an extension of Billie's obsession with the rules as she wishes to return everything to the way it should be.<ref name="fifteen17">[[15.17 Unity]]</ref> ===Powers and abilities===* Soul control – As a reaper, Billie had a measure of control over the souls in [[the Veil]], drawing them into [[Rowena]]'s [[soul bomb]] to help kill [[the Darkness]].<ref name="eleven23">[[11.23 Alpha and Omega]]</ref>* [[Telekinesis]] – Billie was able to telekinetically throw [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] to keep them from interfering in Mary's attempted sacrifice.<ref name="twelve09">[[12.09 First Blood]]</ref>** Biokinesis – As part of her deal with the Winchesters, Billie was able to stop their hearts and temporarily kill them.<ref name="twelve09" />** Chronokinesis – As both a [[reaper]] and the new [[Death]], Billie has displayed control over the flow of time, freezing time around Dean both times he died and they met in the Veil.<ref name="eleven17">[[11.17 Red Meat]]</ref><ref name="thirteen05" />* Teleportation – On many occasions, Billie has shown the ability to teleport. As Death, she was able to teleport the Winchesters and their allies from [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]]'s base to the [[Men of Letters Bunker]] without even being in the vicinity.<ref name="fourteen10" />* [[Resurrection]] – As per her deal with the Winchesters, Billie resurrected them both a short while after killing them.<ref name="twelve09" /> As Death, she was able to resurrect Dean after his temporary death to find the bodies of [[Dr. Avery Meadows]]'s victims.<ref name="thirteen05" /> She has also displayed the ability to resurrect beings from [[the Empty]], bringing [[Jack]] back from the dead with his [[Nephilim]] powers intact.<ref name="fifteen11" />===Weaknesses===* [[Angel blade]] – As a reaper, Billie could be killed by an angel blade.* [[Cosmic Entity]] – Billie fears the Cosmic Entity as it is capable of killing her, which is shown when it drags her into the Empty.* [[Death's Scythe]] – As the new incarnation of Death, Billie can now only be killed with her own scythe. Dean slices her hand and shoulder with the scythe. While not immediately fatal, these wounds caused her body to slowly rot away and she claims they would eventually kill her.
==Episodes==
===[[13.05 Advanced Thanatology]]===
After [[Dean]] has [[Sam]] temporarily induce induces his own death on him, his [[reaper]] [[Jessica (Reaper)|Jessica]] realizes who he is and reports that Dean Winchester is in [[the Veil]]. When Sam's attempt to revive Dean fails, Dean is surprised by the sight of Billie, who reveals that after Castiel killed her, she became the new [[Death]], explaining that when Death dies, the first reaper to be killed after him will take up his mantle. Telling Dean they need to talk, Billie teleports herself and Dean to a place she refers to as her "[[Death's Reading Room|reading room]]." She tells Dean that she has heard that he and Sam have been jumping universes and questions him how that is possible. Dean tells her that as Death she should know, but Billie replies that this information eludes her, much to her annoyance. Realizing Dean has the upper hand, he strikes a deal: in exchange for the information, Billie must release the souls trapped in Meadows' home. Billie agrees to the terms and has Jessica usher the souls out of the Veil. Curious as to why he didn't ask her to revive him, Dean tells her he figured it was a moot point and was prepared to die. Billie tells him he has changed and no longer has the same bravado of a man that has died multiple times. Dean explains that after his recent failings, he is prepared to die if it is his time. Billie, however, shows Dean a shelf with notebooks dedicated to him, and the various ways that he may die based on his choices in life. she tells Dean that now is not his time, and that with her taking on the mantle of Death, she sees the big picture, and much to her chagrin, she finds that he and Sam are important and that they have work to do and that's all he needs to know. When Dean attempts to ask her about [[Mary]], Billie sends him away, resurrecting him.
After sending Dean away, Billie begins reading from one of the many notebooks on Dean's shelf.
When [[God]] returns, He comments that He preferred the old [[Death]] over Billie, whom God states sticks her scythe in where it doesn't belong.
After [[Jack Kline]] is killed by God, Billie appears in [[the Empty]] with Jack and the [[Cosmic Entity]]. After Jack asks what's happened, Billie tells him that they need to talk about . ===[[15.03 The Rupture]]===As she prepares to sacrifice herself to save the world, [[Rowena]] reminds Sam of Billie's prophecy that[[Sam]] will be the one to kill her while trying to convince Sam to do it. ===[[15.06 Golden Time]]===When Sam suggests that they can both use [[Rowena]]'s [[resurrection]] spell, the [[Witch Mother]] tells him that a spell like that will only work once before Billie discovers the loophole and closes it to prevent its further use.
===[[15.09 The Trap]]===
As [[Jack]] looks around [[the Empty]], Billie appears behind him to announce that , "It's time." ===[[15.11 The Gamblers]]===A resurrected Jack reveals to a [[Grigori]] that he is hunting the [[angel]] and knows of his deeds because Death told him. Jack later explains to the Winchesters and [[Castiel]] that Billie kept him stashed away in [[the Empty]] for safety until [[God]] left the Earth. Once God was gone, Billie resurrected Jack and provided him with a plan that she claims can make Jack become strong enough to kill God Himself. ===[[15.12 Galaxy Brain]]=== ===[[15.13 Destiny's Child]]===After the Winchesters encounter alternate versions of themselves, Billie appears in the bunker to explain that the alternate Sam and Dean were fleeing the destruction of their world by [[God]] who is almost done destroying alternate universes and will soon turn His attention back to theirs. Billie states that she has come to bring Jack his second quest and that while the first was meant to strengthen his body, the second will be of a more spiritual nature. Billie orders the Winchesters, [[Castiel]], and Jack to find [[the Occultum]], though she refuses to explain what it will do and says she doesn't know where to find it. After they accept, Billie pointedly warns the group that they must be careful and not draw attention to themselves or they risk everything. Billie's plan is ultimately revealed to be to use the Occultum to restore Jack's [[soul]], which is successful. ===[[15.16 Drag Me Away (From You)]]===Billie pays a visit to Dean while he's on a personal case with Sam in Wadsworth, Ohio. She tells him that Chuck has destroyed his last world and will be arriving soon. She says she has given Jack his final instructions and that they should be ready for the fight.  When Dean asks Billie how she convinced Jack to kill himself to stop Chuck, she tells Dean she told Jack the truth -- that the only way Dean will be able to forgive Jack is by sacrificing himself to kill Chuck.  ===[[15.17 Unity]]===Billie's instructions lead Jack and Dean to [[Adam and Eve|Adam]], the first man, who has spent the last 300,000 years finding a way to kill God. Adam reveals that the plan that Billie is using is actually his and that Billie has been giving them a hand. Using the [[Key to Death]], Sam visits [[Death's Library]] in search of Billie, but finds the [[Cosmic Entity]] who is attempting to force the [[reapers]] to call Billie for it. The Entity reveals that Castiel's visit to [[the Empty]] in search of [[Ruby]] had shaken its trust in Billie and her plan. To Sam's shock and horror, the Entity explains that Billie wishes to kill God and [[the Darkness]] in order to take over as the new God herself in the power vacuum that will be created. Billie intends to put everything back as it belongs: the Entity asleep, the angels and demons back in Heaven and Hell respectively, those who should be dead gone again and those from other realities back where they belong. Though the Entity has found God's death book, only Billie can read it. Sam convinces the Entity that Billie sent him and it gives Sam the book. Returning to the Bunker, Sam attempts to stop Jack from killing Chuck and [[Amara]] in order to stop Billie's plans. At the same time, Chuck reveals to Amara that He actually manipulated timeand space to get events to this point and goaded Billie, all as part of [[Chuck's Endings|His true ending]]. Sam reveals to Dean Billie's true intentions, stating that if she succeeds, all of the people that they have saved will die and everyone they rescued from [[Apocalypse World]] will be sent back to a world that no longer exists. Sam eventually talks Dean down, causing Chuck to depart in a rage after stating He no longer cares what happens. ===[[15.18 Despair]]===Billie suddenly appears and angrily tells the group that they've done enough and were so close, but Dean points out that Chuck saw the whole thing coming with Sam stating that it was doomed. Billie insists that it was doomed because of them. Castiel states that Billie led Jack through his trials and knows what is happening to him and so can stop it. However, Billie states that can't stop it but she can do something else: grasping Jack by the chin, she causes him to vanish and reappear in [[the Empty]]. Billie explains to the Winchesters and Castiel that she sent Jack to the Empty because it was "the only player on the board that could possibly absorb that impact" with Chuck and Amara gone.Billie confirms that it's done now and that Jack is "maybe" dead. Dean reminds Billie that she told them that it was a suicide mission, but Billie clarifies that she had only said that taking out Chuck and Amara would be fatal, which Castiel realizes is because it would cause a chain reaction. However, the [[Cosmic Entity]] is different, not as strong as Chuck or Amara but vast and if both it and Jack survive, it will be pissed, especially after what she just did. Dean is unsympathetic and Billie reminds them that the Entity can't come to Earth, which Sam confirms, stating that it can't come without being summoned. Dean and Castiel demand that Billie bring Jack back if he did in fact survive, but Billie refuses until she gets what she came for. Billie demands [[Chuck's Death Book]] back from Sam, but Sam confronts Billie about the fact that she had always intended to betray them once they defeated God in order to take power herself and how everyone who got a free pass or a second chance, were all gonna die, including Sam and Dean. Sam accuses that of being the order she wants restored and her true endgame. Billie doesn't deny it and Castiel points how Billie lied to everyone. Sam questions what would stop Billie from stabbing them in the back if he does give her the book, but Billie says that Sam has no choice as Jack won't last long even if he is still alive and if they want him back, Sam will give her the book now. Sam reluctantly brings in the book, but drops it on the table instead of handing it to Billie directly. Billie opens the book to the end, revealing that since they ruined the last one, the book has a new ending. Dean impatiently demands that she bring Jack back now, but she shushes Dean and just continues reading. Visibly pleased by what the book says, Billie comments that it's interesting before bringing Jack back from the Empty. However, Billie states that Jack is hers as Jack is still useful. As Billie prepares to take Jack and leave, Dean grabs [[Death's Scythe|her scythe]] and swings at Billie. Though Billie avoids a killing blow, Dean slashes her shoulder, causing it to glow and Billie to drop Chuck's book. Tossing Dean aside, Billie grasps her wounded shoulder and teleports away without Jack, the book, or her scythe. Billie walks through her library where a reaper states that he has put up the warding that she asked for which should stop the Entity from getting back inside. Billie confirms that the plan has in fact changed. Subsequently, when people start vanishing from existence, the Winchesters suspect that Billie has begun to strike. After discovering that Eileen is gone too, Sam decides to get everyone somewhere safe for as long as he can while Dean decides to kill Billie using her scythe in order to stop Billie for good. [[File:BillieDies.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Billie is taken to [[the Empty]].]]Armed with the scythe Dean and Castiel enter [[Death's Library]] using the [[Key to Death]]. Dean finds Billie standing at her table where she quips about it being the part where she greets him with "hello, boys" before doing so as Castiel emerges as well, armed with an [[angel blade]]. Billie mockingly asks if Dean intends to kill her with her own weapon, commenting that he'd better improve his aim. Dean states that he wasn't trying to kill her before, but now she's killing all of his friends. Calling it interesting, Billie throws Dean across the room and begins choking Castiel before lifting him off of the ground, reminding him how he stabbed her in the back. Dean attacks Billie again with the scythe, pinning her to the wall and cutting her hand. As Billie struggles to keep the scythe away from her throat, Dean states that it's over and demands that Billie call it all off and stop killing his people. To Dean's shock, Billie reveals that she is not responsible for killing Dean's friends and he is in the wrong place. Billie reveals that if people are disappearing, it's most likely Chuck who is responsible and thus Dean is just wasting time by coming after her. Billie then explains that Dean had mortally wounded her earlier and shows Dean and Castiel her festering shoulder wound. As a result, while Billie doesn't care about Dean's friends and family, she now wants him dead and is pleased to have the chance to make that happen. Disarming Dean, Billie strikes him across the face and swings her scythe at Dean and Castiel, who dodge the strike. Billie throws them with telekinesis and the two flee through the door back to the Bunker with Billie chasing after them. As Dean tries to figure out what to do, Billie appears on the Bunker's balcony, her wounded right hand now wilted and shaking, and causes pain in Dean's heart. Chasing them, Billie calls Dean rule-breaking and death-defying and everything that she lives to set right, to put down, and to tame. Dragging her scythe against the wall, Billie continues taunting Dean while casually strolling through the Bunker after Dean and Castiel. Billie chases the two to the dungeon where Castiel puts up a [[Warding Sigils|ward]] in blood that blocks Billie's grip on Dean. Undaunted, Billie begins pounding on the door causing the sigil to start sparking as Billie slowly breaks through it. Castiel suggests that they can wait Billie out since she is already dying from her wound and if they can't, they fight. Dean knows that they'll lose and that he just led them into another trap because Dean couldn't hurt Chuck and so needed something to kill instead due to his anger. In order to fulfill his deal with the Cosmic Entity, the one being capable of stopping Billie, Castiel expresses his love for Dean and experiences a moment of true happiness. As Billie finally breaks through the door, a portal to the Empty opens. Billie slowly approaches, watching as Castiel shoves Dean to the ground to protect him. The Entity sends two dark tendrils through the portal, one of which absorbs Billie and drags her to the Empty while the other does the same with an unresisting Castiel.
