Do Mormont Shieldmaidens get Stalwart and Heavy Armour from the Defender keyword on their unit card, or do they need to have a defend token in their hex to benefit from Stalwart and Heavy Armour?

I only ask because under the Defend token description it says that any unit in a hex with a defend token is considered a Defender (Not highlighted like the keyword on the Mormont Shieldmaiden is). Is the Shieldmaiden's Defender keyword the same as the Defender trait given by a Defend token?

Mormont Shieldmaidens do need to drop a token to gain keywords Stalwart and Heavy Armor - they do not have them by default. The rulebook clearly says:

edit: sorry for a mistake - units can gain defender token via leadership cards. The answer to the question remains the same, however
