{{CalneCaInfoBox}}
'''Calne Ca''' (骸音シーエ ''Karune Shii-e'') is recognized as a derivative of [[Hatsune Miku]]. She was created by the 3D animator [[Deino]]. The term "[[Derivative]]" is used here to describe a fanmade VOCALOID character that is based on an already existing character.

==History & Concept==
{{Quote|－シーエと骸音シーエの違いについて－<br />基本同じ機械です。シーエがボカロのコスをした時だけ名前が「骸音シーエ」になります。<br />-About the difference between ''Ca'' and ''Calne Ca''-<br />They are the same machine character. The name ''Calne Ca'' is used when ''Ca'' is in Vocaloid character cosplay.|Deino's comment}}

Deino's original character has led to some confusion about her concept. Deino explains on his homepage that Ca, only in Miku cosplay, is called Calne Ca. The bug on her head is also known to be her best friend. Her first apparition was in the lyric-less music video "Machine Muzik", and since then she has appeared in several PVs.

===Etymology===
Her name comes from ''kara'' (骸, "corpse") and ''ne'' (音, "sound"), as well as Ca (シーエ), the chemical symbol of calcium. This is due to Calne Ca being a mechanized skeleton with a skin or casing in the shape of Miku.

===Appearance===
Calne Ca is basically just a sort of casing in the shape of Miku for the mechanized skeleton Ca (Shii-e). Her most common variation leaves her limbs, left eye, and mouthparts exposed, but she can don a "full-body" casing that makes her physically identical to Miku. In these instances, Calne Ca can be distinguished from Miku by a red iris in her left eye and the isopod on the left side of her head.

In the PV for "[[細菌汚染 (Saikin Osen)|Saikin Osen]]", Ca's mechanical elements are replaced with organic equivalents resembling insect anatomy.
