After becoming Death, Billie gained a greater understanding of the universe and everyone's place in it. While still not a fan of the Winchesters which she openly admitted, 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 and is her uncompromising stance on the rules of the universe. The 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. When Billie did show up, she refused to compromise with Rowena even when Sam's life was threatened stating that she didn't think it was a good thing and Billie didn't think anyone would like what came next, but she refused to be blackmailed. However, Billie also recognized that Rowena had changed and wouldn't go through with her threats.<ref name="thirteen19" /> While she wanted the Winchesters dead, Billie refused to break the rule that stated that Reapers couldn't actually kill people themselves. As a result, she could not reap Mary when she refused to come with Billie<ref name="twelve06" /> and required her to commit suicide when Mary decided to sacrifice herself in her sons' place. However, Billie appeared to be somewhat willing to bend this rule, temporarily killing Sam and Dean before bringing them back as it was only a temporary death and part of the deal she had made with them.<ref name="twelve09" /> According to the [[Witch Mother]], any time Billie would discover a new loophole that would allow a resurrection, she would immediately close it so that method would not work again.<ref name="fifteen06">[[15.06 Golden Time]]</ref>
Despite her stance on the rules, its 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, Billie directly interfered by rescuing the Winchesters, Castiel and Jack 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 on 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" /> After God began the end of the world, Billie got directly involved in events, approaching Jack in the Empty<ref name="fourteen20" />, protecting Jack by keeping him hidden there and resurrecting Jack after God left. In her biggest breach of her own rules to date, Billie not only brought Jack back personally, 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>
