Quiet

Quiet was a mute female sniper who was active during the 1980s. At some point, she was interrogated via electrocution by Ocelot.

Behind the scenes
Quiet appears in the E3 2013 trailer of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, in which she is described as being "A Sniper deprived of her Words". Dutch model Stefanie Joosten will be Quiet's voice and motion capture actress.

When asked about Quiet during a interview with Famitsu, Hideo Kojima replied: "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." He also told 4Gamer: "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."

Quiet's full CG render will be revealed on September 6, 2013. Kojima decided to focus on the newcomer after cosplayers asked to see her full outfit. Over on Twitter, Kojima explained that he will share more about Quiet on September 6 at midnight PST over on the Metal Gear Solid V homepage. Kojima stated, "In fact I was asked by one of the cosplayers, she asked the detail of Quiet as E3 trailer didn't reveal the detail. Since I cannot reveal the confidential info to individual I decided to official announce."

Regarding her design, Kojima stated on his Twitter account that he had been ordering for character designer Yoji Shinkawa to keep making Quiet more erotic by design, and mentioned that he had been doing very well.
