Professor Carolina (Japanese: カラシナ博士 Dr. Karashina) is a professor that appears in the anime. She is also Cynthia's grandmother. She also appears in the games and in multiple manga, but is not referred by name.
In the games
In the Sinnoh-based Generation IV games, 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 guardians.
In the games, once the player has faced Dialga or Palkia, 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. In Platinum, as witnessing the events at the Spear Pillar adds both Dialga and Palkia to the Pokédex, she will instead inform the player of their ability to catch Dialga and Palkia if they own their respective orbs.
Quotes
This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: missing quotes from Pt, also DP before facing Dialga/Palkia |
"Well, hello! You look good. I did some research of my own since that spot of trouble last time. Mt. Coronet acting up had me very concerned, too. Well, this is what I found in the shrine. It's a book, and it's quite old. See for yourself. It seems that there were two Pokémon in ancient Sinnoh. They respectively stood as symbols of time and spatial dimensions..."

Professor Carolina made her debut appearance in Losing Its Lustrous!. She is the Head of the Celestic Town Historical Research Center, 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 Saving the World From Ruins!, studying the connection between the Iron Island ruins and the Veilstone City meteorites.
Her latest appearance was in The Needs of the Three!, where she was at Lake Acuity, working with Professor Rowan and Gary to keep the three lake guardians safe.
