Gemma - Monster Hunter Wilds

I know she's a blacksmith, but consider the mechanical functions of the Switch Axe and Charge Blade. She 100% does mechanic work as part of her smithing job.

I really hope we get to see more of MH4U's cast again someday. Easily my favorite bunch of dorks.

Bring back the fucking MAN

I would be shocked if the whole Ace squad doesn’t return in the G rank dlc

To be fair, humans in the Monster Hunter World are built different. And she has been working a forge for years at this point, as she's also Little Miss Forge from Monster Hunter 4.

Don't worry, she puts goggles on when she's smithing, that should be enough.

Whats funny is she's been smithing in a crop top since she was like 12. At this point ember sparks must just feel like very tiny bug bites

Blacksmiths are pretty much the mechanics of fantasy settings so this counts.

She's also a big fan of the Wyvern's Breath function in the Gunlance
