Professor Carolina (Japanese: カラシナ博士 Dr. Karashina) is a professor that appears in both the games and anime. She is also Cynthia's grandmother.
In the anime
She made her debut appearance in Losing Its Lustrous!. Her Japanese voice actress is Ai Satō. She was the manager of the Celestic Town Museum which originally contained the Lustrous Orb before the events in Losing Its Lustrous! and Double Team Turnover! which led to Team Galactic obtaining the orb.
She is a very outspoken lady and even directly asked Ash to battle her granddaughter, Cynthia. She was shown to be very proud of her granddaughter's status as champion, telling Ash that he would have to train a lot harder if he wanted to beat Cynthia.
She appeared again in DP111 and is currently at Iron Island where she is studying the connection between the island and the Veilstone City meteorites.
In the games
Cynthia does have a grandmother in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum; however, she is not referred to by name. The player is given an Old Charm by Cynthia to deliver to her grandmother. Once the player arrives in Celestic Town, the grandmother tells the story of the lake trio.
In the games, once the player has beaten the Pokémon League, she will show a picture of Dialga or Palkia, depending on which version is played. This only registers the Pokémon as "seen" in the Pokédex and does not add an entry.
