The characters like Quiet have their own story arc independent of the story, similar to for example Skyrim The Dawnguard DLC adds a new character that acts as a follower and has her own story arc yet it is completely separate from the main story and doesn't affect if you have completed the main story or if you are halfway or whatever.

Quiet will probably have her own arc where we learn why she has to be half-naked and everytthing but if you miss her then you won't learn her story and the game will continiue as usual
