A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

hi

Battle: Bow your target Personality: Straighten another target Personality with lower Chi. If the targeted Personalities share no Clan alignments, you may target and straighten a third Personality.

can i use clan rivalries to straighten the guy who bowed to straighten his buddy with lower chi if they share no clan alignments, or do i have to target a whole different personality?

thx in advance

No, you may not do that.

or do i have to target a whole different personality?

Correct. The "third" Personality cannot be the same Personality as the first.
