I wonder what happened to rest of the MSF crew at the Base; who survived? who got killed? I'm talking about the main characters like Amanda, Cecile, or Kojima himself, xD. He stated that he was the unseen character which Kaz asked "What about him" in the Hospital scene, though I really think he was trying to keep some other character hidden from us for the time being (Chico, maybe?).

About Quiet (which really is the main topic), I think she has some kind of connection with some other MGS character, either from the past (The End), or the future (Wolf), as some of you stated. Or maybe even both!

Well, if I remember correctly, The End's pet parrot called him "Grampa". This could be for reasons of addressing him as an old man in a comic relief kind of way, or maybe it was a hint for a possible future character in the series (in this case, Quiet).

As stated before, both characters possess apparent paranormal properties which may serve as a link between them: The End possessing the photosynthesis cammouflage, and Quiet, the odd mascara thing that remains to be explained.

Now: It's normal behaviour for the parrots, and other birds, to mimic sounds that they hear; what if The End maintained contact with his family at some level, at least sufficient enough for his pet to hear and learn that word from his granddaughter? I don't think it's a farfetched idea by any means! The End died in the course of MGS3, which occured in 1964. MGS5 (TPP) is placed in 1984 (20 years later), so, if his granddaughter was 2 or 3 years old, for example, she would be 22/23 years old in TPP, which may, as well, correspond to Quiet's age.

Furthermore, I think Kojima would want to carry out some sort of legacy from Snake Eater to the new big game featuring Big Boss as the main character, and since Big Boss was responsible for some kills there (even if you tranq'd the Cobra's, they would self-desctruct) that could eventually lead to dire consequences later, i.e, characters affiliated with them seeking revenge. I must also state that, according to Kojima, revenge is one of the main themes for MGS5, as you can also acknowledge if you pay atention to the sentences shown throughout the main trailer for the game.
