that's such a good question honestly. Especially because their tarot cards don't even match up to the four horsemen. Their tarot cards: Henley gets the Priestess, Merritt gets the Hermit, Jack gets Death, and Daniel gets the Lovers.

Now, of those, only one is an actual horseman of the apocalypse. Jack gets Death, which is actually the most straightforward since he's the one who fakes his death - which also makes his card the only one that is also foreshadowing. Merritt being Famine makes sense because of his past financial troubles. Daniel is easy to argue as War because he's the most combative, picking fights with everyone and generally being surly and uncooperative. That leaves Pestilence for Henley but honestly that one isn't easy to argue. She's not really the embodiement of sickness and her storyline doesn't line up to it even in metaphorical way, which is why i personally find their name unsatisfying.

If anything, Pestilence fits Dylan better, since alternatively that horseman is sometimes Conquest, and he is the one who "wins" the most throughout the movie. Always a step ahead, pulling all of the strings, and exacting vengeance on his father's behalf. I am genuinely disappointed that there isn't a straightforward parallel for Henley, she's my favorite character, personally.
