Caroline (Japanese: ミツコ Mitsuko) is the mother of May and Max, and wife of Norman. Her Japanese seiyū is 冬馬由美 Yumi Tōma and her English voice actresses are Megan Hollingshead (4Kids dub, initial appearance), Karen Neill (4Kids dub) and Klara Leopold (PUSA/TAJ dub). Her Brazilian voice actress is Denise Reis (original voice), but Adna Cruz (AG122-AG124), Suzy Pereira (AG132) and Gilmara Sanches (AG179) also voiced her. Her English name is a French feminine form of Charles, which means "man" in Germanic.
Caroline is May's biggest supporter, and traveled all the way to the Hoenn Grand Festival to support her daughter in her contests.
For a while, Caroline was mad at her husband because he wasn't spending enough time with her and too much time with Nurse Joy. As it turns out, Nurse Joy was helping Norman set up a fireworks display for his and Caroline's anniversary.
She is probably a Pokémon Trainer, as in a flashback she is seen holding a Poké Ball, but what she trained remains a mystery.
Pokémon
When May went to the Battle Frontier, she left Skitty and Beautifly in the care of her parents. However, when May made her first appearances since leaving for Johto, to participate in the Wallace Cup, there was evidence that all seven of her Pokémon were with her.
Trivia
- Her Japanese name, Mitsuko, can either mean child full of blessings or shining child.
