Sagacious Graves was completely normal. If you considered digging up the dead and trying to bring them back normal that is. She was a necromancer, a damn good one if she could say so herself (And she did...Often) She was extremely self-assured and knew exactly how her life would play out.

However, one thing she never thought would happen to her was someone speaking to her through her dreams. Making grand promises that were too good to be true...Unfortunately, things that were too good to be true fascinated Sagacious...Hence the exhumation of a body at this once sacred site, polluted by foul emotions and even fouler actions. All she had to do was successfully bring back a corpse, and bring it back whole, which included a bunch of trial and error to bring someone back to their original state. But she was so close! And then she could bring back the person in her head and get what she wanted. What she had always wanted.

*3 hours later*

"Finally! Finally" Sagacious shouted hoarsely, the incantations she had been chanting for 3 hours making the pain in her throat worth it in the face of success. Necromancers couldn't do this. She was more than a necromancer now. She was better, and she would make it known. She looked at the young woman, Emily, according to the headstone. Once rotten and very much dead...And now back in the prime of her life. Sagacious yanks the woman out of her grave, spinning around with her, Emily's face lit up with confusion and even fear, a lively look about her. Unfortunately she couldn't stay that way, too many questions. So Sagacious pulled out her gun and pressed the trigger and watched Emily drop lifelessly into her once grave once again. Sagacious grabs her shovel and book before leaving the graveyard, not bothering to bury the woman again.
