Quiet | The Silent Predator and the Tiny Prey

Quiet, known to the Soviet forces as Tixij was a female assassin during the 1980s. Originally an assassin for XOF, Quiet later defected to Diamond Dogs after being defeated by Venom Snake. Quiet wore a minimal amount of clothing at all times because she could only drink or breathe through her skin following parasite-treatment due to the serious injuries she had sustained while trying to kill Big Boss during the hospital raid; wearing too much clothing would lead to suffocation.

After being defeated by Venom Snake in Afghanistan following a tense sniper duel, Quiet became a prisoner at Mother Base until she was allowed to accompany Venom Snake on missions as a buddy. Her weapons included two lethal sniper rifles nicknamed Wicked Butterfly and Sinful Butterfly as well as the non-lethal Guilty Butterfly.

Quiet, as an XOF operative, was an extremely efficient and ruthless individual, viciously murdering two innocent hospital personnel without hesitation or remorse. She was also very dedicated to her job and was willing to do anything to get her mission done, taking the horrific pain of being lit completely aflame for several seconds before finally succumbing to the agony. She also fought as relentless as she could, even attempting suicide, when Venom Snake attempted to capture her. She was also able to withstand continued torture while barely making a sound.

However, she was also quite impulsive, emotive and arrogant. She underestimated her adversaries like Ishmael and Venom Snake, leading to her defeat. She had a tendency to make quick decisions without pondering about the consequences, usually leading her in making bad choices like taking her time to choke Venom Snake out of rage instead of quickly kill him with her knife or jumping into chlorine just to get a child's memento.

Her arrogance can be seen as she use a laser sight during the battle with Venom to mock him, while also humming, unbeknownst to her that despite being effective psychological warfare tactics, these would eventually backfire as Venom would have used them to gain an advantage to fight her.

However, the more time Quiet spent at Mother Base, the more she began to change into a more caring and moral individual. After her capture, she was mostly indifferent and apathetic towards her situation but took an interest in Snake. After developing her bond with Snake while serving as a combat buddy, she developed feelings for him, and in turn became a more benevolent person. Her examples of humanity and compassion included playing with Snake in the rain, lighting Snake's cigar for him for his birthday, staring at him affectionately in the ACC, and even risking her life to save a child's memento.

Regardless, Quiet still had the capability of being a cruel person if she believed it appropriate, attacking two Diamond Dog soldiers, the first for trying to clothe her, the second for being infected with a vocal cord parasite. She was also perfectly willing to kill anyone on Snake's command, and savagely massacred an entire squad of enemies after one of them attempted to rape her after nearly drowning her.

Quiet wears minimal clothing because she can only breathe and drink through her skin due to parasite treatment for injuries sustained while trying to kill Big Boss.

The character is a mute skilled assassin and sniper with supernatural abilities belonging to the covert strike force XOF, a rogue division of the American intelligence agency Cipher. Depending on the player's actions, she can be captured by Venom Snake and eventually used as a member of his Diamond Dogs mercenary group.

Quiet's default outfit consists of a revealing, two-piece outfit: a black bikini top and thong, ripped fishnet stockings, and boots.

Quiet has grey-green eyes, brown hair, and a fair complexion.

Quiet does not speak, but she is not entirely mute. She communicates through sounds, body language, and actions. Her silence is due to the vocal cord parasite she carries, which would be activated if she spoke English.

Despite not speaking, Quiet communicates through various non-verbal methods:

● Humming and Groaning: The voice actress for Quiet, Stefanie Joosten, provided the character's vocalizations through humming and groaning

● Body Language: Quiet's facial expressions and body language convey a wide range of emotions.

● Actions: Quiet's actions and interactions with other characters provide context to her motivations and personality.
