This entry could pretty much be "HAHAHA" repeated throughout, and it'd still do this point justice.

Just think about it: At some point, an entire team of writers had to sit down and actually get this pushed through. Not only was it pretty damn stupid that Quiet was half-naked anyway, but Kojima and co. decided to give her appearance a narrative, 'logical' reason.

Are you ready for what that is? Well, she breathes through her skin, you see. Her original skin was burned off in a horrific molotov cocktail incident, and since that day she's had extensive therapy with some rare parasites; ones that gave her a new biological makeup - replete with superpowers like super-speed and teleportation.

As you do.

Fun fact: Getting your kit off to breathe is the exact same reasoning given to why Jacob was always shirtless in Twilight. It's that level of thought.

Just let that sink in.
