Besides being an amazing smith who will craft you your weapons and gear, the blonde haired Gemma can also be unlocked as a Hunting Assistant in Monster Hunter Wilds after you complete certain missions for her. Here is how you can do so.

High-Quality Materials side quest

You will start this quest once you reach High Rank in the game. Gemma will call you and once you interact with her, she will ask you to bring a Chatacabra Hide+ to her.

You can hunt Chatacabra by accepting Optional Quests or by encountering it in the open-world. This is a common monster that you can find during the Plenty Weather in the Windward Plain region of the map. Once you capture or kill one to obtain the Chatacabra Hide+, you can bring it to your trusty smith to complete the quest.

Smithy's seal of Quality side quest

Shortly after you complete the first quest, your trusted smithy will get in touch with you again, requesting for help. She will ask you to help her test a new device which will require you to fight Lala Barina in the Scarlet Forest. Once you start the quest, you can complete an additional objective by luring the monster to the trap device.

Regardless of your choice, once you defeat the monster and complete the quest, Gemma will agree to lend a hand and you will unlock her as one of the Hunting Assistants in Monster Hunter Wilds.

She will generally appear in the Scarlet Forest Region, near the area where you trap Lala Barina. However, she can occasionally appear in the Ruins of Wyveria part of the map where she will use the same trap that she uses in the Scarlet Forest region.
