Why is she called "Fury"?

[Mållgan]

Isn't she supposed to be one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Who does she represent?

[Kalnaur]

As the rider of the black horse, she'd be Famine, traditionally. But as far back as the first Darksiders, it's been War, Death, Fury, and Strife (who represents Conquest or Pestilence, depending on your reading).

They've never really been 100% commited to the traditional lore.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

I don't think starving people to death would've been as appealing really.

I guess she's the Rider of the Black Horse, though the game isn't a depiction of what you would expect of the Four Horsemen as they're usually imagined. It's a Fantasy game, so yes, in the game's world, she's one of the Horsemen.
Why is her name bothering/surprising some people ? I'm pretty sure the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse don't have any given strict name, except for Death, and are rather designed by their horses (Red, White, Black, and Pale green).

That's why her name isn't what you expected, and I find that cool that the developers didn't go for the usual popular naming. It's a Game after all :D

I bet the Seven Sins will also be slightly different from what we know.

People have also synonyimously agreed though not named, the red rider is War.
The other two are more loosly defined and tossed around. Some say Pestelence and Famine.
Others say it's the concept of conquest lust for power, and the other the suffering at the hand of war , famine, and plauge.

It's just that each Horsemen had powers and weapons that were suitable for their title. But I have never heard of the title "Fury" being bestowed upon one of the Horsemen. Does this mean that her power and attacks will be explosive and massive? Like, there is a meter that measure rage and when it's full she unleashes her "Fury" upon her enemies. Something like that would be cool.

Yeah that's true, the White horse Rider doesn't really have a name that people agree on, sometimes it's called Conquest, other times it's Pestilence, and sometimes he's even seen as the Antechrist. I've also seen the Black Rider being called Distress instead of Famine.
But yeah, Death and War are usually unchanged, at least, I don't recall any story where they're not.

According the the Amazon page (which pulls from the game maker's website), she's a mage-ish character with several different forms, with each of those forms "granting her access to new weapons, moves and traversal abilities".
