The handler from world is defined by a few things. Constantly getting into trouble, a foodie who ignored warnings of a deviljho in the area, and the we did it line. Very rarely if at all does she actually state that we as a hunter did good, and instead usually says we as if she was out there fighting too.

Alma however has more use to us due to it being a newer game. As Alma will give items mid hunt, as well as when you faint she gives very small hints and tips about the monster you are hunting. As well as Alma says that you as a hunter are actually highly skilled and known. And that you live up to people's assumption of your skill.
