I would consider Naked Snake and Big Boss to be different characters, too, or Revolver Ocelot and Liquid Ocelot. You're technically correct with Liquid Ocelot and Revolver Ocelot (since Liquid Ocelot was a manufactured personality and somewhat of a distinct entity), although Big Boss and Naked Snake are very much the same character. Either way, I'm extremely doubtful that Chico is Quiet. After all, the demo implied that Diamond Dogs was just about to do the finishing touches for Mother Base when Big Boss awoke and Miller was captured. Keep in mind that was roughly nine years, so they're only finishing up Mother Base now would suggest they were stripped of funds, and keep in mind that not only were gender surgeries rare during those days, they were also pretty freaking expensive. And ignoring the costs of getting a gender op, especially for Chico, why would Chico even align himself with the Soviets when he and the other FSLN members basically turned on Zadornov and the KGB anyways, assuming Quiet is Chico post-gender op? And we know she is one of the Soviets because we see her in a Soviet uniform and being waterboarded by one of the base personnel. Then again, Ground Zeroes makes things confusing by having Miller stating the FSLN were "Soviet bloc" despite Peace Walker making clear they had turned against the KGB and the Soviet Union in Chapter 4. Where was Quiet shown aligning herself to the Soviets? All I saw was her being drowned by a Soviet soldier. Although, I have to admit that Chico finding money for a gender op is unlikely. She was seen wearing the same uniform as the Soviet soldiers during that scene, and considering she clearly wasn't a member of Diamond Dogs by the time she is on Mother Base (not to mention all the Diamond Dogs soldiers save for Miller were killed), and its unlikely she'd wear that kind of uniform had she been a member of the Mujahideen, its clear she was more likely to be a Soviet.
