Aries and Valerius Notes

1st Person switching between characters, starting with Valerius (the beast)

Characters:
Aries (Belle) - similar in character to the girl from Book of a thousand days. Has gumption. Has a normal family. :)
Valerius (the Beast) - dark hair, grizzled from living on the planet, dark coloring. Disease makes him look rocky?
Leo (Gaston) - Not so much like Gaston.

All characters from same planet, of the same species.

Valerius was an explorer (or something like that) and was poisoned somehow, crashed onto a deserted planet. Destroyed his ship in rage and is stuck there. His "disease" makes it look like "an earthquake erupted on his skin."

Aries is a healer, crashes onto the same planet. She works on fixing her ship and meets the beast in the process. He doesn't tell her his name, so she makes up a name for him. A distress call is sent out from her ship and Leo arrives to help her. She knows who he is, but doesn't know him very well. (Maybe they were at school together or he's a well known pilot or something.)

Aries wants to help heal the beast, so she leaves with Leo to get the medicine or herbs or whatever. She left behind a device (like the mirror) that allows her to keep an eye on the beast. She starts falling in love with him while watching him on the device?

Ends with Aries healing Valerius and they travel around together. Leo will live to fight another day (hangs himself...? haha  if we want to go dark :) )

We talked about the planet being forested or rocky.
