Overview
Personality and attributes
Among Soviet forces, she came to be known in Russian as Tixij (Russian: Тихий, "Quiet").
As an XOF operative, she was shown to be an extremely efficient and ruthless individual which she demonstrated by 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.
It was shown that she was quite impulsive, emotive and arrogant which had led to her underestimating her foes.
Powers and abilities
She came to be a highly skilled combatant and assassin where she had shown the ability to kill her targets with extreme efficiency and deadly precision.
Following her injuries, she came to infect herself with the vocal cord parasite. These included traits such as enhanced strength, mobility, speed, perception, durability, longevity, phasing and invisibility in exchange for nourishing the parasite. In addition, it also allowed her to breathe through her skin and take in nutrients via photosynthesis or small showers effectively removing the need for food, drinking or breathing.
After being defeated by Venom Snake, she came to join the ranks of his private military company called the Diamond Dogs.
Notes
- Quiet was created by Hideo Kojima where her design was made by Yoji Shinkawa with the character being voiced by actor Stefanie Joosten.
- In an interview on 4Gamer, Kojima said, "In the game, Quiet is the main heroine. Whether she is friend or foe has yet to be revealed so I had to be careful when casting her role. MGS normally has old timers and old guys (laughs). Stefanie is very skilled in action but since she never held that type of gun, we asked her do some training at home. With Stefanie, we had to make sure to focus her 3D motion on capturing her facial and body language and not her voice, since Quiet does not speak. She does make small sounds like “ugh” and “ah” though."
Appearances
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: (2015)
